Mambots are pluggable elements that perform a
specific function when they are triggered. They can be as simple as
something that replaces text or may be fully fledged third party
libraries such as a templating system (like patTemplate or Smarty) or a
hit tracker (like phpOpenTracker).
A Mambot is a small,
task-oriented function that intercepts content before it is displayed
and manipulates it in some way. Joomla provides a number of Mambots in
the core distribution.
- mosimage
- This mambot converts tags to html img tags.
- mospagebreak
- This mambot provides pagination and table of contents functionality with a page.
- moscode
- This mambot replaces the code with tags with php syntax highlighted code.
- mosvote
- Mambot Groups
Mambots
are placed in groups. Some groups have special significance to Joomla
and are therefore reserved. The Joomla distribution includes the
following groups:
- content
- Mambots that modify displayed content
- editors
- WYSIWYG editors
- editors-xtd
- Buttons and lists that may allow additional controls in an editor.
- search
- Allows for the inbuilt search engine to extend to other components.
