the miro is for a completly different product and is not for Mambo.

if you cant install on DW MX, you should get the newest version of the extension manager from the Macromedia Exchange

In addition, I just downloaded the Miro Mambo extension from Macromedia, whats the difference between your extension and this one.

I have Mambo open source CMS, will the why won't the miro extension work with it.

Thank you for all your help you're awsome!

User1 / User2 are extra module positions. If you go into the modules area of Admin, you'll see them as available positions you can use for various modules.

Hi Guys,
Going back to the above quote i thought id mention a general rule i stick to with the .gif vs .jpg thing. If you have an image (or slice) containing part of a photograph, or graphic containing gradients, shadows etc i use a jpeg and compress until just before you se that horrible jpeg compression noise on any single colour surfaces. I find most images can be compressed to between 55 - 61 depending on the image. (sometimes more - sometimes)

If you have an image or slice containing text, solid colours etc go with gif. You will get a better result as all your text edges will remain sharp and you will not have any compression noise as you get with the .jpegs

Remember this is just a general rule "i" follow and if you experiment with each slice (reducing compression or colours) you may find that breaking this rule gives you a better result once in a blue moon.

If you look at www.h47.gen.nz/web you will see that the only .jpeg image used is the shaded main body image of the building as i wanted to keep the template edges sharp so i chose .gif despite the shadows.

I hope this helps a few of you out there. I know what its like to be learning lol, i still am

.ps ... to all you out there with crt monitors only the jpeg noise seems to be more visable on an lcd monitor. (just a heads up)
