Overview
Mambo has been in development since 2000, and over those years, has garnered almost 8 million downloads--making it arguably one of the most popular CMS's in the world. The core code base of Mambo is very similar to Joomla's, as Joomla development started when a group of developers split from Mambo in 2005. In general, the two CMS applications are very similar; the main difference lies in a larger Joomla following, resulting in more rapid development of the core software and developer extensions. Both Mambo and Joomla market their products as "out-of-the-box" Web site solutions; however, both applications are recommended for intermediate to expert Web users.
Grabbed directly from the Mambo Web site, here are a few features provided by the application:
- Archive manager. Put your old articles into cold storage rather than throw them out!
- Multiple WYSIWYG content editor support
- Page caching mechanism to improve performance on busy sites
- Advertising management (banners, etc.)
- News, products or services sections fully editable and manageable
- Topics sections can be added to by contributing authors
- Media (images, documents) upload and management
- Content publication scheduling
- Content syndication (RSS)
- Search engine friendly (SEF) URL's
- Dynamic Forum/Poll/Voting booth for on-the-spot results
- Fully customizable layouts
- Simple but powerful template system (no complex templating syntax to learn)
This application can be found and installed from your cPanel logged in area -> Fantastico.
