How to install Zoom Gallery on your Mambo
Installing a Mambo component is really an easy thing to do. Even for non-experienced users, it should be not harder than adding a story to the home page of the Mambo itself.
Having a component like Zoom Gallery installed on your Mambo would be an excellent choice. This will make your existing CMS system gallery enabled and you will be ready to upload your pictures in a minute.
To start, we assume that you already have your Mambo installed. Please, visit your Mambo administrator section by either clicking the ‘Administrator’ button on your home page or by going to the following url:
http://yourdomainname.com/administrator
where you should replace the ‘yourdomainname.com’ with the full URL address of your Mambo CMS.
When the administration section of your Mambo opens, you will be prompted for username/password. Enter the admin user/pass login credentials and press the ‘Login’ button. You will be taken to a screen, which should look like this:
Now let's install the component.
First of all, please, download the component to your local hard drive. You can use the following URL to download the latest version of Zoom gallery:
http://mamboforge.net/projects/zoom/
When you download the component, the filename should be something like:
com_zoom_xxxx.zip
where ‘xxxx’ is the version you have chosen. Let’s go back to the mambo administration.
Please, navigate to the Components menu and choose ‘Install/Uninstall’ from the top of the list.
You will be automatically taken to the Components install section. Please, click on the Browse button in the Upload Package File section, and navigate to the Zoom gallery component you have downloaded earlier:
Now, please, click the Upload file and install button and wait until the installation process is complete. You will see something like ‘Upload component – Success’ and now you are finished with the installation. Click the Continue button and your Zoom installation will be finished.
