Use on the website of different software modules allows to make it much more conveniently, more interestingly and more functionally. It is possible to create the new module by means of different programs or to write independently if you well understand web programming.
It is required to you
- - skills of web programming;
- - program for creation of the module.
Instruction
1. Come into the panel of administration CMS Joomla. It contains a set of standard modules which you can add without change on the website or edit under the needs. For the registration form or an input the Enter module, for carrying out vote – the Vote module, for a RSS tape – the News feeds module and so on is used.
2. Download the module which you would like to add on your website from a third-party source. After that in the CMS Joomla panel select the section "Expansions" and pass to the Manager of Modules point. In the opened window press the Create button and specify path for loading. Specify the name of the module in the option "Materials".
3. After that make the main corrections and click "Save and close". Refresh the page of the website to check the received result. If you want to create the module independently, then it is necessary to begin with development of the specification.
4. Define purpose of the created module. Describe its main objectives and opportunities. On the basis of it define set of file which will be necessary for operation of the module. Think up for it the name and create the folder of the same name in the directory of the website. It should be noted that in case of independent creation of the module it is necessary to know at least web programming bases. Otherwise at you nothing sensible will turn out.
5. Think up HTML code which will perform the required operations of the software module, or find the necessary code in the Internet at specialized forums. If you badly understand web programming, then can use the help of different specialized programs. For example, the ModuleMaker module which is installed directly on the website and facilitates creation and editing modules. It is also possible to use the Visual Studio program in which there is a possibility of forming of the project of modules.
