Content is organized in two ways. You can build static pages, which are an individual page where all the information is shown on the screen. The other way mambo handles content is through the section category hiearchy. Much like a newspaper is divided into sections, which have different sub-sections. For example you have sports, and in sports you have football, tennis, and other pages dedicated to the articles for that particular sport, Mambo organizes the content in exactly the same way, first you create a section, then you add the different categories under that section, and finally you add content items to these categories.
VERY IMPORTANT: Only after you add content items will your categories appear on the website.
1. a. to add an article make sure you already have the section created and the category for that article, then click Content, all content items.
2. click new
3. fill in all the appropriate information. Name, intro text, main text, choose a section, choose a category in that section.
4. On the right are parameters regarding your content item.
a. Publishing: Choose if you want the article to be shown on the front page. Choose who can view the item. Choose when it will be shown and when it will be taken off the site.
b. If you don't have an html editor for the content with an image manager, you can click the image tab and add images to your content with this tab.
c. A list of items regarding the content item, put your mouse over the blue i to view information regarding each item.
d. meta info tab: this will help search engines categorize and index your page.
e. Link tab: you can make a link on any one of your menus to this content item directly using this tab.
