Mambo

Well, after 2 days of development and testing, I’ve just released SolarLibrary 0.1. Along with this is a new, bug fix version of SolarCategories, which mainly deals with UI issues born out of never using my own interface :). So, SolarLibrary allows you to store and categories (with multiple categories) links, text, and files. The files are stored in a secure download behind SolarGroups authorization. I haven’t really tested this system on a wide range of people yet, but if nothing else, it offers a good example of what SolarGroups and SolarCategories are meant to do. Library notes are here. ...

I’ve just started cutting new code for SolarLibrary, which is supost to be a partially structed, categorised repository for different types of data, built as a Mambo component. The reason for doing this is for my purposes, I want links, text, files extra to all share the same category space, and be accessable through the same brower view. This is very Drupalesk. But at the moment drupal also doesn’t fit this bill, and I don’t really like the module architecture, which I am quite fond of the Mambo architecture. Besides, I have several other Mambo components which could do with a minor overhaul, and building this component justifies it. ...
