Thanks for visiting MamboJoomla.com. First a few disclaimers. MamboJoomla.com is not affiliated with Mambo Foundation, or Joomla! Open Source Matters, Inc.

(ok! honestly, we favor MiaCMS a little bit more )
What is MamboJoomla.com for?
First of all demo site for the few extensions by Brilaps. You can see all them around you.
On your right, you can see Easy Donate Paypal Module. An easy way for your visitors to drop in a few bucks for your good cause. Feel free to click the link (*it's tied to our Paypal account, beware).
On your left, there is the Easy Pay Paypal Module. Another enormously easy way to collect service charges through your Mambo or Joomla! site.
Unfortunately, we cannot show you what an awesome WYSIWIG editor MOStlyCE is. Take a look at the screenshots, or if you're a Mambo user, you'd already know what we're taking about.
*MamboJoomla.com serves only as a demo site. You can access the documentation here, and support forum here.
MamboJoomla.com also consists of two sub sites, which are serving as demos for the available MiaCMS, Joomla! releases. The default data that comes with the distros carry pretty valuable information, therefore we left them intact in all the sub-sites.
http://mambo.mambojoomla.com : MiaCMS 4.6.x releases (Sorry, no Mambo and J! 1.0.x at this time.We recommend MiaCMS over Mambo 4.6 and J! 1.0 versions).
We also welcome other extension developers to use our site to demonstrate their goodies. Contact us if you're interested. *Can't put together a few words without disclaimers, so here it comes; "we reserve the right to turn down your request for the publishing your extension."
Last but not the least, who knows, we may make a few bucks off the ads we publish on those websites.
Thanks for visiting our sites, and come back again.
Here comes moseasymedia 2.0 with some pretty cool features.
moseasymedia supports media plugins and media players that support wmv,
wma, divx, midi, avi, mpg, mpeg, asf, asx, swf, flv, dcr, dir, mov,
mp4, ram, rv, rpm, ra, mp3, playlist files (RSS, Atom, XSPF) extensions
to name a few.That pretty much covers all the media formats that exist
today. Under the circumstances when the media type cannot be determined
from the extension, moseasymedia tries to match the media's host domain
with it's supported players.
moseasymedia 2.0 supports regular window popups for videos, and a
Thickbox window. This way, you can allow your visitors watch the videos
without all the obstrusive content around them, or perhaps popup the
music in a seperate popup window and let your visitors keep browsing on
your site. You can also add a mediathumbnail image on the main page,
and a link beneath it to say something in the lines of "click here to
watch".
moseasymedia is very customizable, very flexible and very simple.
Almost all the object/param/emded tags can be customizable for each
supported player, and you don't even need to know anything about them.
We already set some defaults for you. You may choose to change them
globally in the Mambot/Plugin configuration, or override a few of those
params per each file you're embedding.
With the 2.0 release moseasymedia introduced a few more parameters to handle the popups. "popup (=none, =window, =thickbox)", "popupwidth", "popupheight",
"popuptoolbar", "popupmenubar", "popupscrollbars",
"popupmediathumbnail".
See how they're used in the next pages. And take a look at the documenation on http://wiki.brilaps.com
moseasymedia supports the following players out of the box.
Windows Media Player
Flash
Shockwave
Quicktime
Real Player
DivX
JW FLV Player
JW Media Player
JW MP3 Player
XSPF Web Player Extended & Slim
The following pages will demonstrate the flexibility of moseasymedia. In almost all cases you can get away with a simple { moseasymedia media=somesong.mp3} tag, and that's all.
Notes and Remarks:
You may not be able to view some of the demo pages, possibly because of missing plugin or codec.
The space between the "{" and "moseasymedia media=.........." is put
in there to demostrate the moseasymedia tag to the reader. The actual
video embedding tag must not have it.
In our site wide configuration, the popups are set to "thickbox", therefore anytime we want to show the media on the actual page, we use popup=none in the moseasymedia tag.
I am rapidly growing tired of those demo videos myself. If you have
something interesting (nothing PG or R rated please) and would like us
to include in those pages, please shoot me a message and save me from
my demo-page misery : ))
In this demo site, we set the popup windows default to "thickbox". Therefore, we use a few popup=none attributes in the moseasymedia tags. If you set the default setting to none, you won't need to add those.
The default installation of Mambo includes a variety of features
which are available for your use at the click of a mouse. Without
installing any additional software, you can manage banners, set up
surveys and polls, syndicate your content, and do many other common
tasks.
The tools that make these functions possible are called Components, Modules and Mambots.
A Category is a subset of a Section. Content Items belong to
Categories; Categories belong to Sections. The only exception to this
hierarchy is Static Content, which exists outside of the Sections >
Categories structure.
Within limits. The Mambo User Manager currently only supports a few
levels ("groups") of users. You can show different content to different
groups, but you cannot show each individual user a unique set of
content. Put another way, every user in the group will see the same
content as the other users in the group. If you really need this
functionality, there are some third party components which add
additional flexibility.

Static Content Item. The page does not belong to any Section or
Category. It is found in the Admin system inside the Static Content
Manager ::
1. Who owns the copyright to Mambo?
The copyright to the Mambo brand and logo is held by Mambo Foundation,
a non profit corporation organized under the laws of Australia and run
by the membership. Copyrights in the code are owned by the authors. You
should be aware that under the GPL who holds the copyright to the code
bears little relation to the use of the code. The terms of the GPL,
rather than copyright law, spell out how the code may be used,
modified, and distributed.
2. Are there any restrictions to your use of Mambo?
The GNU GPL grants you the freedom to use the software for whatever purpose you see fit.
3. May I charge money to distribute Mambo?
The GPL allows everyone the freedom to do this. The right to charge
money to distribute Mambo is part of the definition of "free" software.
When people think of "selling software", they usually imagine doing it
the way most companies do it, making the software 'proprietary' rather
than free. So to avoid ambiguity, you may charge to distribute the
software and any other service you provide along the way. You may not
charge for the software itself. Remember if someone pays your fee, the
GPL also gives him or her the freedom to pass on the software with or
without a fee.
4. May I remove "powered by Mambo, Copyright Mambo Foundation” from the footer?
Yes you can, although, we would hope that you would retain it to help spread the word about Mambo.
5. May I remove the "copyright" statements from the source code to Mambo?
No, you must keep all copyright notices and credits in the source code.
6. Does the GPL mean that my web site content is also GPL?
No. The copyright and license of Mambo does not cover the content that
you create. Using Mambo does not place any restrictions, legally, on
the license or copyright you use for the content of your web site.
7. I have modified Mambo for my own web site. Do I have to release these modifications?
The GPL permits anyone to make a modified version for their own use
without the requirement to distribute it or pass on those changes to
others.
8. I have made a modification (hack) to the Mambo core code. Do I have to release it under the GPL?
If you chose to distribute your modifications to others it must be
released under the same terms that you received the original code. So
your modifications must be released under the GPL. You may of course in
this case modify the headers for the source code to include your own
copyright statement after the original copyright statements. If you do
so, you must clearly annotate in the source code your amendments,
changes or additions.
9. I have written a Component, Module, Template for Mambo. Do I have to release it under the GPL?
No. The GPL allows you to write your own extensions for Mambo and to
release those extensions under whatever license you choose.
10.
I have written a Component, Module, Template for Mambo and released it
under the GPL and I charge a fee for it, but web site X is giving it
away for free! Is that right?
Remember if someone pays your
fee, the GPL also gives him or her the freedom to pass on the software
with or without a fee because the GNU GPL license must go along with
the distribution of the software.
11. May I purchase a copy of Mambo, which has the copyright statements removed?
No. Some GPL products are distributed that way (often called “dual licensing”) but Mambo is not.
12. I believe someone is in breach of the GPL, what should I do?
We would ask you to report it, but please first check all the facts before you send an e-mail to us at:
.
13. Who has the power to enforce the GNU GPL license of Mambo?
Only the copyright holder, Mambo Foundation, has the power to do this.
If the Mambo Development Team finds, or is made aware of, a breach of
the GPL, they will report it to the Foundation for them to take any
necessary action.
14.
Web site X is using or offering my non-GPL Component, Module, Template
without my permission, or in breach of its license, can you help me?
Whilst this is not within the remit or responsibility of Mambo, we are
willing to act as intermediaries in this on your behalf. In most cases
these situations arise out of simple misunderstandings and can be
settled amicably. You should e-mail full details to
.
15. What about translations of Mambo? Who owns those?
All translation files, as they are derived works of the original Mambo files, are licensed under the GNU/GPL.
