Archived:Uninstalling an extension

If you wish to uninstall an extension on your Joomla site, then follow these simple steps:

# Select "Extensions" and then "Extension Manager" from the dropdown menu
# Select "Manage" on the left menu (3.x) or on the menu below the title "Extension Manager: Manage" (2.5)
# Select the type of extension you wish to uninstall. You will have the choice between Components, Files, Modules, Plugins, Languages and Templates.
# Find the extension you wish to uninstall and check the checkbox to the left of the extension title.
# Press "Uninstall" In the upper-right corner of the screen (2.5) or on below the title "Extension Manager: Manage" (3.0)

It's as simple as that. If Joomla can't uninstall the extension, you will be prompted with an error message. If this happens, it's most likely to be caused by the extension. As extensions are developed by third-party volunteers, you will have to try to get support from the developers of the specific extension.

Tables are a very important way of presenting information and data within Articles. The following describes how to modify the basic elements of tables within an Article. For more information about inserting a table in an article please read: [[Inserting a table into an Article]].

#Open the Article for editing either by:
#* Click the '''Content > Article Manager''' menu item to go to the ''Article Manager'', select the Article and click the ''Edit'' toolbar button.
#* Clicking the ''Add New Article'' button in the Control Panel.
#* If logged in to the Front-end, you have appropriate permissions and are viewing the Article you wish to edit: Click the ''Edit'' toolbar button.
#Locate the table you wish to modify and follow the instructions below as required.

'''Insert a new row'''
*Select a cell in a row above or below where you wish to insert a new row.
*Click the ''Insert row before'' or ''Insert row after'' editor toolbar button.

'''Delete a row'''
*Select a cell in the row you wish to delete.
*Click the ''Delete row'' editor toolbar button.

'''Insert a new column'''
*Select a cell in a column adjacent to where you wish to create a new column.
*Click the ''Insert column before'' or ''Insert column after'' editor toolbar button.

'''Delete a column'''
*Select a cell in the column you wish to delete.
*Click the ''Remove column'' editor toolbar button.

'''Merge a range of cells'''
*Click and highlight a range of cells you wish to merge. This can be done vertically or horizontally.
*Click the ''Merge table cells'' editor toolbar button.
'''Split merged cells'''
*You may only split previously merged cells. This is different from most word processing applications and is because of the structure of HTML tables.
*Click the cell you wish to split.
*Click the ''Split merged table cells'' editor toolbar button.
Note: When a cell is split it will return to the format it was in before being merged. For example: a 3 row, 3 column table contains a merged cell spanning 3 columns, when this merged cell is split it will return to 3 cells.
