List of available modules

You can select from the list of available modules.

Notice : it is always a good idea to back up (database and files) before (un)installing or upgrading a module.

Installing a module

1. Extract the .tar.gz or .zip file so you have the module folder.
2. Copy it into your modules directory
3. Go to "Extensions -> Modules" in the Admin and click the "Install" link next to it
4. Then click the "Help" link to see how to use it.

Install a module via XML

If a modules releases a .xml file, you can install the module using that file instead of the .tar.gz or .zip file:

1. First make sure you have made your "modules" folder fully writable (chmod 777)
2. Under "Install module via XML file" choose a module XML file from your computer and click the "Submit" button.
3. Now click the "Install" link next to the module that you just uploaded.

Note: The downside of installing modules via XML is that on some webservers you won't be able to modify the modules files files in modules/ModuleName because they will be owned by the web server user and not you, this makes patching Module files difficult.

Share a module via XML

The XML button in the export column of each module row allows you to export the current version of any module you have installed to an .xml file. This file can then be sent via email (or any mechanism you choose) to another CMS user. Clicking on this button will prompt you for a location to save the XML file to.

Using modules

Modules usually show up through the admin panel. That is where you start to configure them.

Upgrading modules

Usually you just overwrite all files in the modules/ModuleName folder with then new versions and then click the "Upgrade" link next to the module name in "Extensions -> Modules" if it exists.
