Just installing Mambo for a demo of various CMS options to the team tomorrow. The Mambo 4.5.2.3 installer borked while creating a table, choking on a missing default value for "rating_sum".
Easy fix. Line 221 of mambo/installation/sql/mambo.sql is dealing with setting up the content_rating table. Modify the sql thusly:
`rating_sum` int(11) unsigned NOT NULL default '0',Aside from that silly sql bug, the Mambo installer is pretty slick. I'll likely blog my early thoughts of it as a CMS, after I've played with it for awhile...
Update: Well, looks like my Mambo installation is pretty much borked. I can't edit content - keep getting MySQL errors on missing tables or fields. I'll try nuking and reinstalling, but this was a fresh install from the latest build, so I'm not sure what could be wrong...
Update: Nope. It's still borked. Install claims to have run successfully, but any attempt to edit content results in this:
DB function failed with error number 1054
Unknown column 'c.access' in 'on clause' SQL=SELECT c.*, g.name AS groupname, cc.name, u.name AS editor, f.content_id AS frontpage, s.title AS section_name, v.name AS author
