The #1 Joomla Book

It’s hard to find a Joomla powered website that has not added functionality beyond the basics with some sort of extension. The word extension collectively describes components, modules, plugins, and languages. There are many hundreds available both free and commercially from 3rd party providers.

In this chapter we will look at some examples of core and 3rd party Joomla extensions. We will also examine how they are installed and managed in Joomla.
