What is a Joomla Module?
So what is a module? By the very name module you would think that it is a type of extension which it is and it isn’t. I can’t think of one way just to describe a module because there so flexible. Modules are tied into the Joomla template system at design time by adding a module tag to your template. Modules are put into the template and can even be put into the content via a Joomla Plug-in at run time. They can render content from components a good example is the core menu system for Joomla renders the menu via a module. They can get outside information like RSS feeds. The list of options can be very long. But you should start to see that modules are very flexible. All the circled areas are all modules.
