Mambo modifications Follow the instructions below to modify the mambo files with data specific to your environment. This can vary from version to version. The goal is to inject a call to 'itemstats_parse()' in the location where the content generation is handled. In my installation, the main entry point for this is the components/com_content/content.php module, so I added the call in this component. OPEN {mambo_root}/components/com_content/content.php FIND defined( '_VALID_MOS' ) or die( 'Direct Access to this location is not allowed.' ); ADD-AFTER include('itemstats/phpbb_itemstats.php'); [Note you may need to try '../itemstats/phpbb_itemstats.php' or '../../itemstats/phpbb_itemstats.php' etc depending on your installation] FIND if ( $params->get( 'introtext' ) ) { ADD-BEFORE $row->fulltext = itemstats_parse($row->fulltext); ADD-AFTER // Parse text for ItemStats mod $row->introtext = itemstats_parse($row->introtext); SAVE AND CLOSE {mambo_root}/components/com_content/content.php OPEN {mambo_root}/templates/[your template]/index.php FIND
