Welcome! First time visitors will find the Daily Message Component Tutorial to be helpful. (Daily Message for Joomla 1.0 is also available, as well as many other tutorials based around it). In addition to the tutorials, there are articles covering conceptual topics, such as the oft-asked question "What is the difference between a component and a module?"

Daily Message with E-mail PDF Print E-mail
You can easily give your visitors the ability to send their friends Daily Messages through e-mail. Using the mosMail() function, you ensure the appropriate settings are in place and do not have to wrestle with message headers. You can also place this in a styled pop-up window without loading the full template.

Since we are adding many more features to the frontend, it makes sense to move some of the code from dailymessage.php to dailymessage.html.php. This allows us to keep most of the logic in dailymessage.php, while handling the presentation through dailymessage.html.php.

This tutorial is designed to work with Mambo 4.5.1 and later. A downloadable copy of the tutorial is available here.
