ok i didnt really want to ask here because i recently asked about 2 questions lol but its been killing me.

I just downloaded mambo to play with a few days ago, Im trying to figure out how do you make a download section ????

And how do you link your phpbb forums to the site so it can show the latest post ??? If anyone can teach me or link me a tut


P.S. If anyone is wondering what do i mean by download section on mambo and forum linking i mean something like this site www.psphacks.net <<< sorry im new with cms

Mambo (Joomla) adds additional capabilities like downloads via components, modules and mambots which are add-on packages which give the basic program additional easy to use capabilities.

You can get an idea of available components for Mamba here:

Mambo Components, Modules and Mambots Available

OoO I have been there but thought it was for something else so i would just download it from that site and add it on the components, mambots or modules and i would have it ???
