Trying to update a website you didn't design must be one of life's biggest frustrations. I have got a Mambo CMS site I've been asked to update. One thing after another has made this project blow out completely. Adding content (well, more than a few sentences) freezes my browser and the editor. And I have absolutely no ability to change the editor or the system. And that is just the latest problem.
Last week I found out that the editor won't accept css. After I had spent about 20 hours creating a css template (a subtemplate really) so I can display their library.
And we got told that if we want to upgrade to the latest version of Mambo it would cost the same amount as installing a whole new site. I know that it doesn't take that long.
I am so cranky. I have such a giant well of patience. It has run out. The worst part is that I actually really enjoy doing all this, it's just that I haven't been involved from the start and haven't been involved in the decision making process that led to the site being created. Last night I could have thrown the monitor across the room.
Whaddaya do? Ideas?
