Hi,
I´m quite new to mambo and I am really wondering if I should install 4.5.1.a or 4.5.2 for my website project. My plan is to design my own template, include a gallery, a forum, newsletter etc.

Now the Dreamweaver Plugin is only for 4.5.1. but there is already an MSAS version for 4.5.2 and it seems as if there are a lot of modules only for 4.5.2. Can I use the DW extension to build templates for the latest version?

So, please help me out, is it better to install 4.5.2 or 4.5.1a? I really want to make the right decision, but right now I´m confused if the latest version is the best for my project. What whould you recommend?

Regards
sista

I would go for 4.5.2 as most furture development of componets / modules will be for the latest version. I have used the Dreamweaver Extension in template design & they work fine in 4.5.2.

If your looking at Gallery componets then certainly look at Pony Gallery which is based on akogallery. The homepage is http://www.taher-zadeh.com/

Thank you for your reply. I´ve finally installed mambo 4.5.2 and currently figuring out its huge functions. Looks very good to me!

Definitely 4.5.2. Not only is it better from a bug-fix standpoint, but I always try to start from the top and work with whatever the newest versions are. This way, you won't be stuck in a need-to-upgrade situation as quickly.
