The use of various software modules on the site makes it much more convenient, interesting and functional. You can create a new module using various programs or write it yourself if you are well versed in web programming.
It is necessary
- - web programming skills;
- - a program for creating a module.
Instructions
Step 1
Go to the CMS Joomla admin panel. It contains many standard modules that you can add without modification to your site or edit to fit your needs. For the registration or login form, use the "Login" module, for voting - the "Voting" module, for the RSS feed - the "News feeds" module, and so on.
Step 2
Download from a third-party source the module that you would like to add to your site. After that, in the CMS Joomla panel, select the "Extensions" section and go to the "Module Manager" item. In the window that opens, click on the "Create" button and specify the path for downloading. Specify the name of the module in the "Materials" option.
Step 3
After that, make some basic adjustments and click Save & Close. Refresh the site page to check the result. If you want to create a module yourself, then you need to start with the development of a technical task.
Step 4
Determine the purpose of the module being created. Describe its main tasks and capabilities. Based on this, determine the set of files that will be required for the module to work. Come up with a name for it and create a folder of the same name in the site directory. It is worth noting that if you create a module yourself, you need to know at least the basics of web programming. Otherwise, you will not get anything sensible.
Step 5
Come up with html-code that will perform the required actions of the program module, or find the necessary code on the Internet at specialized forums. If you are not well versed in web programming, then you can use the help of various specialized programs. For example, the ModuleMaker module, which is installed directly on the site and facilitates the creation and editing of modules. You can also use the Visual Studio program, which has the ability to create a project of modules.
