 Chapter 1 introduces us to Mambo, and what it can do for us. The chapter concludes with a discussion of the Zak Springs Golf Club example site, including a list of the requirements for the site.Chapter 2 takes you through installing Mambo on a local machine for development purposes. In Chapter 3, we take our first look at the main elements of a Mambo site, meeting menus, modules, components, templates, and having a quick look at the arrangement of content on a Mambo site. We start our Zak Springs example site in Chapter 4 by creating a fresh, empty installation of Mambo. Then we look at the fundamental configuration options available to our site, such as setting up the system to send mail. Chapter 5 continues the theme of site configuration, by looking at module and component management. These are the main functional elements of your site, and in the chapter we look first at module management, choosing how and where, and on which pages to display them. Chapter 6 is about menus and templates. Without menus, visitors would have great difficulty in finding anything on your site. A menu is made up of menu items. Your site is created for people to visit, and in Chapter 7, we walk through the basics of managing user accounts. Visitors are able to create an account on your site, and in this chapter, we look at what this process involves, and also at some other ways in which user accounts can be created. In Chapter 8, we finally come to content management in Mambo. The Content component is the main content engine of Mambo, and in this chapter, we look at the organization of content into sections and categories. You can create special users that can add, edit, or publish content from the front end of the site, and in Chapter 9, we look at this. We also look at the publishing workflow this involves, whereby notifications are sent to various administrators to advise them of content submission that requires their approval. In Chapter 10, we explore some more of the standard components that come with Mambo, and install and walk through the use of some third-party components for adding discussion forums, event scheduling, and a gallery of images. In Chapter 11, we look at the details of customizing a template to produce a new-looking site. We start with one of the standard Mambo templates, and make changes to the stylesheet and background images to gradually produce a different-looking set of pages. In Chapter 12, we look at the steps required to deploy our local Mambo site to a remote web server. We also tackle setting file-system permissions for various operations of Mambo to function properly on the remote server.
