Joomla! Extension Development

Components, Modules & Pluginsjoomla-logo-120

Components
These are the main applications that run inside of Joomla! They usually have controls that are accessed from the backend administration. The administration section is frequently used to create, read, update & delete records in the database. With the data in place, it can then be accessed from the front end of the site for your normal visitors, or registered users or staff to access.

Modules
These are the boxes that can be placed in different module positions in Joomla! You can have multiple modules on a page, and they can read the data from your custom components to display to your visitors.

Plug-Ins
When an operation has to be used frequently through out a Joomla! site, it is sometimes useful to write a plug-in. These can be incorperated using the functions created in the custom components.

With this creative freedom, customised applications can be developed to suit individual businesses.

Benefits of customisation

Having a Joomla! extension tailor made for your business allows for greater productivity to your workforce and provides data and reports that can be used to take action according to your customers or staff requirements.
