Help for Developers

  • Documentation for developers is often the weak link in information with any content management system. Mambo developers are addressing this need by writing documents specifically for the coders amongst us. Check out our growing developer documentation area of the Mambo Manual.
  • Mambo Developer is our center for all things related to coding for and with Mambo. If you are a 3rd party developer or you wish to customise Mambo for your own use, then the Mambo Developer web site is the place for you to find helpful resources.
  • The Mambo Developer Network forums provide a place for questions, discussion and suggestions.
