Joomla! Documentation™

En udvidelse er en software pakke som udvider din Joomla! installation på en eller anden måde. En lille samling af udvidelser er inkluderet med standard Joomla! installation, men mange flere er tilgængelige via Joomla! Udvidelsessamlingen.

The term extension is generic and the following specific extension types are available:

• Component (since ) – adds custom functions to your site that can be selected from menus
• Language (since ) – defines an additional language for your site
• Library (since ) – provides functions to be used by other extensions
• Module (since ) – shows nonessential data in a side box, possibly on multiple pages
• Package (since ) – bundles related extensions
• Plugin (since ) – modifies content in articles or provides functions to extend other extensions
• Template (since ) – define the look, feel, and navigation capabilities of your site

For an overview of the most important extension types and the functionality they provide, see Extension types (general definitions).
