From the WordPress development blog: From https://wordpress.org/news/2007/03/upgrade-212/

Just an FYI for everyone: the future of the Mambo project is not really looking so good these days. If you want the features that Mambo offers, but with a more active community, use Joomla instead. A site with some really sharp templates (some free, some commercial) is Joomlart (https://www.joomlart.com/). In particular, their JA Mercury template (if you can manage to find it - look in the Downloads -> Free Templates section) is extremely customizable, and offers some great built in features (like built in TransMenu or Suckerfish menus).

It isn't realy a successor to Mambo, rathetr it's a fork. Some of the original Mambo developers left the project, "borrowed" the source code (which is legally allowed under the GPL), and began a new project. At this point, Mambo isn't recieving enough attention from the community for me to want to use it anymore. I have one site still running it, and since the 4.6 upgrade things have been going haywire. I would convert it to Joomla if I had time.

IMHO (in my humble opinion), iriver MP3 players are the best. They have the best balance of price and features. I currently own an iriver U10, which features iriver's famous D-click navigation. The screen is sharp and bright, and the player has too many features to list here. I dislike the iPod for a couple of reasons: 1. The only music store compatible with the iPod is the iTunes Music Store. 2. The iPod has become one of those icons in society, and I don't like being part of the crowd. 3. The iPod is kinda expensive.

If you are looking to build just about any type of site (other than a blog), Joomla has almost every feature you could need. The content managment tools are pretty good, and with a large (and growing) number of third party components, modules and mambots (collectively rferred to as "extensions"), you can add much more functionality to your site.

One again, I'd suggest Joomla (https://www.joomla.org/). It has the login system you primarily want, as well as the framework for a blog, forum, gallery and a lot more. To get the SHA-1 password hashing, you'll need to make one or two code hacks. Those will basically involve changing the login and registration-related files to use the appropriate SHA-1 function instead of the one for MD5 (and I understand why you wouldn't want MD5).

At first glance, your site has an instant Web 2.0 feel to it, with smooth gradients and curves. Everything is simplistic and compact. However, the one thing that should be changed is the color of headers, from the bright yellow to something easier on the eyes.

I'm sure i looked at your site before, but now it's starting to come together. The header is clear, and all of the colors work nicely. The one thing you probably should do is get rid of the OpenSourceMatters ad banner, and replace it with something more suitable to your site.I praise you for using Joomla, which I believe to be the #1 choice in content management. Be sure to check out Joomla 1.5 Beta, which promises to bring a new look and architecture to the Joomla platform. (Sounds like I work for Joomla now!)

No problem. If you ever need help in the future, just let me know and I'll be right there.

If I got this right, this code (that you should place in fim_photos.php) will do the trick. <?php define('FIM', true); ?><?php require_once("functions/fim_functions.php"); ?><?php get_header(); ?> <div class="main-narrow"> <div class="entry"> <?php echo fim_get_the_content(); ?> </div> </div><?php get_footer(); ?>

This is similar to what has to be done to get my WP Ultimate Static Front Page technique to work properly. Within the index.php template, look for the code from the beginning of the file until you see something like this: <?php if ( have_posts() ) : while ( have_posts() ) : the_post(); ?>Copy everything above that line, and replace this code in fim_photos.php with the copied code: <?php define('FIM', true); ?><?php require_once("functions/fim_functions.php"); ?>[b]PASTE THE COPIED CODE HERE[/b]<div id="content" class="narrowcolumn"> <div class="entry"> <?php echo fim_get_the_content(); ?> </div> </div><?php get_sidebar(); ?><?php get_footer(); ?> Now look for the code after this: <?php endwhile; else: ?><p><?php _e('Sorry, no posts matched your criteria.'); ?></p><?php endif; ?> Copy everything after that, and replace this code: <?php get_sidebar(); ?><?php get_footer(); ?>With the code you just copied. If anyone feels that there is something missing, let me know. I'm a bit tired right now, and might be a bit off.

In regard to Aero, it hardly resembles OSX's aluminum look. Maybe a couple of transitions were borrowed and altered, but in reality, it's all a bit different. iPhoto is probably ten times better than Windows Photo Gallery, and iMovie/iDVD have got to so much closer to pro than Windows Movie Maker and Windows DVD whatever. And as I said before, David Pogue is really dumb.

Glad to have helped. Another note: At the time of this post, your template looks like it needs some work. There are missing images (some, but not all), and the layout looks incomplete. But otherwise everything underneath the surface looks likes it's all running smoothly.

As of now, your site seems to be looking fine - I see the default Joomla! template and all its glory. Try clearing your browser's cache to load the site as it appears now.

With the somewhat recent attacks on a particular host that uses cPanel, I am a little concerned about how secure my site is. Although I am relatively careful about file permisssions, that would mean nothing if a higher level user (even root) was compromised.I would like to be assured that cPanel, as well as all of the other services and resources running on the Xisto - Web Hosting servers are kept up to date. I have never experienced any troubles with security in the past, and it would be preferable to uphold that standard in the present and future.

Thanks to jlhaslip for giving me the opputunity to help out one of our fine members. Look through the templates/[template_name]/images and administrator/[template_name]/images folders and see if anything is missing. If so, try uploading all of the files again. You should do this because if the images don't even sow up, chances are they don't even exist on the server. If you have access to the server logs, check to see if there are many 404 errors from requests to image files. One other thing bothers me: I visited the URL that you mentioned, and it indeed throws an error related to tthe file inclusion. First try changing the path in configuration.php back to what you started with. If that doesn't work, I'd suggest reuploading basically all of the Joomla files. If that doesn't work, there is something unique about your server that I am not familiar with (I don't know everything).

Either it's hard to tell that they are running Mambo/Joomla if you don't look, or maybe you're right..... With the exception of the core components in the current versions of Mambo and Joomla, you can eliminate tables. Templates aren't required to be built on tables. And yes, WordPress does rock. It's killing off alot of the competition. And with WordPress.com, blogging has never been easier.

Somehow I have a feeling that your copy of Vista will stop working in April or May this year. Microsoft has previously put expiration dates on beta software, to the best of my knowledge.

If you are thinking about changing the look of your site, then yes and no. Yes because you can find hundreds of free templates, and no because it isn't child's play to write up all of the CSS that the core components use. But in general, working with Joomla/CB is relatively easy. Once you get beyond the basics (for Joomla: components, modules, etc; for Community Builder: lists, tabs, etc.), you can figure out many things on your own. If you ever need help, there are plenty of resources available to you.

Kay, There are already a number of user profiling/authentication systems out there. Joomla (https://www.joomla.org/) has the login stuff, and the Community Builder component (http://www.joomlapolis.com/) and related extensions add powerful profile capabilities. Although there is a bit of aa learning curve to using this powerful duo, you will be very satisfied in the end.

Unless you find some hacked up or beta version of Mac OS X (designed for the Intel platform), it is not possible to run that OS on anything but Apple hardware. The company put checks in to make sure it runs only on their computers. As mentioned above, your choices for XP and Vista are VMWare, and various Microsoft products (like the new and free Virtual PC 2007, https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/products/windows).

*Warning: Beginning a rant!*I watched the video before. I have to say two things:1. David Pogue is a technological moron. He oversimplifies tech stuff so that any person who can only use AOL can understand what he means.2. Microsoft is just following the trade. Big whoop if they did one or two things that Apple also did. And even if Apple decides to sue Microsoft, I'm sure Big Bill has enough cash to pay them off.Whay can't everyone just accept the differences, and not rant about how people are "stealing" features from each other?*End Rant*

it's a bit more than a Mac-in-a-phone than you probably think. Apple has put in lots of little things in their latest toy that you probably wouldn't think about. Those things, however, all add up to make the device stand out in terms of features and technology.

Joomla started off of the mambo codebase, and is a seperate project. Joomla has features that mambo doesn't, and vice versa. One real striker between the two is that in the next major release of Joomla (version 1.5, which is currently in beta), basically everything about Joomla has been overhauled: the Admin has a new look, the API and framework has been changed and many other improvements are present. If you use Joomla right now, don't worry about your currently-installed extensions, because Joomla 1.5 has backwards compatibility included for legacy components, modules, mambots (aka plugins) and templates.

When put the focus on another window, Windows supposedly gives it more ccomputing power. but that doesn't really explain what the problem is. I just came up with the idea that maybe since WMP is a 'background' process when not having the focus, it gets more power. I've found background tasks to run faster than foreground ones, like extracting an archive with 7-Zip.
