Joomla EssentialsFor those new to Mambo, we know that you may get overwhelmed by the number of available add-ons for Mambo. There's a lot of components out there and most of them are not really for functional use, but just to make your site confusing with loads of uneccessary features. To help you, we compiled the essentials list to run a good Mambo website.

Forum
  • Mambo-SMF Integration - of course, we recommend this component. This component integrates SMF forum to Mambo. It's very easy to install. SMF is one the full-featured forum softwares out there. If you are familiar with phpBB, SMF is just like one.
  • Simpleboard - Simpleboard Forum Component for the Mambo Open Source CMS framework; Simpleboard is thé integrated Forum solution for Mambo Open Source. The administarion backend is fully integrated, native ACL implemented and is extremely configurable. (It's built for Mambo but as the name says, it's just simple. Not feature-rich like SMF or phpBB)
Gallery
  • Zoom Media Gallery - zOOm Media Gallery is the most comprehensive, feature-packed gallery system for the Mambo CMS. Continuously improved - features added, very user-friendy, speedy and easy-to-use. Have fun using zOOm Media Gallery!
Statistics
  • TFSforMambo - TFSforMAMBO is a real-time web site statistics package fully integrated in the backend of MAMBO based on the orginal TFS script. You can measure unlimited number of pages of your web site. It is invisible and FREE.
Extras
  • Remository - Remository, flexible and user friendly file repository component for Mambo systems.
  • Shout-It - Allows a visitor to your website to leave messages easily and quickly aka Chatbox/Shoutbox. This component supports emoticons, ability to Bold Italic Underline and Link text, AutoRefresh, 2 Mode: Public and Registered, Auto prune old shouts and MORE!

some others to consider : Guest
Leaving out some of the other Gallery plugins (especially Menalto IMHO) seems exclusionary if you're going to have multiple forums.

Some other addons that I think that are popular or interesting enough to consider listing:
  • com_akolegal
    [*]com_designer
    [*]com_events
    [*]com_facileforms
    [*]com_glossary
    [*]com_mamml
    [*]Docman
    [*]mos_com_bookmarks
    [*]mosclearft
    [*]mosmarkdown
    [*]mostexttile
    [*]mod_akodonate
    [*]mod_bapaypal
    [*]sugarCRM

    Forgive my lack of knowledge but I heard that nearly all Joomla addons will still work with Mambo.

    If thats the case Joomla Explorer is a brilliant tool and I think should be part of the core.

    If it doesnt go with mambo I'll shut up and go be on my own.

    I really should read things first.
