As we get questions from the Submit Question link, they will get posted in How Do I? , researched than answered in Help  on the left.

We are going to leave the original Mambo sample content, Getting Started & FAQs - if you are setting up a Mambo site for the 1st time you should take some time to review this, it will give you a pretty good understanding of how Mambo is organized.

The content we are creating is basically each problem our customer's run into, like how to remove the Double Title when publishing a document or how to insert hyperlinks into an article.

Formatting tips will also be covered as well as addressing issues in the backend of Mambo like where various config files are stored and adding components to the site, we make a valiant first attempt at this with 17 Things to do when starting a new mambo site

If after going through the site you still don't find what you are looking for, feel free to click on the How Do I? Link to see if your question has already been asked and if not you can submit a New question.

Also feel free to offer suggestions for other elements you would like to see in this site.

Thank You and have a nice visit.

Welcome to our new name FreeMamboHelp.com, the thought pattern here was - it's a little easier to remember than help.simpleindustries.ca

The old link is still working, it is 'sort of' a mirror, but it will go away sometime in the future so update your links. You will notice you can't really stay on the old site anyways, all the hyperlinks are for the new site, that's why I said it was a mirror 'sort of', only the 1st page is mirrored {click on help.simpleindustries.ca and notice the url, click on any other link and look again}.

I'll probably put one of those timed count downs on help.simpleindustries.ca and redirect it to FreeMamboHelp.com and then eventually delete the redirect - just to let you know. I've noticed something else sort of interesting, when you toggle between the two sites the advertising changes even though the google code is the same in both cases.

Anyways, To recap:

Old site:

help.simpleindustries.ca  

New site

FreeMamboHelp.com

17 Things may not cover everything that needs to be done when setting up a new site, it does however cover quite alot. By the end of this your website should be starting to look and feel like something that is actually your own creation. Some of these activities my need to be performed by your webmaster or service provider, I'll try to indicate where at each step, read on for the same instruction but in detail.

Quick Summary: (click here to activate hyperlinks in this article)

  1. Test Global Permissions
  2. Enable Captcha to cut down on spam email
  3. Set the session time to something realistic
  4. Add your site metadata
  5. Enable the spell checker
  6. Add comments to sections if desired
  7. Select notify by email (for new comments) if desired
  8. Add users, disable admin user
  9. Customise editor windows if your webpage is full screen
  10. Test 'Contact Us', chances are the email doesn't go anywhere
  11. Determine your initial sections and categories (organisation of site)
