Many users phpNuke, which used to take a module unit expansion functional content management system, are beginning to wonder. Meanwhile, more than learning that the module serves to display information in Joomla. Now the talk that this mamboty and what they are used. In this article we will try to explain it to you all accessible language. Also, you'll learn their differences, and how they interact with each other.

- Components

So what are the components? First, a basic tool that will help expand the functionality Joomla. The component is a set of scripts that give you functionality and make the interface more interactive. The most common components, you can see in the central column of the site, if your site has three Column layout. The main ingredients for CMS Joomla are the forums, file archives, galleries, the collection of statistics, backup and more. Also, these components can perform - the creation of sections, add and display materials. They help you manage. The most common components Joomla, composed of two parts:
1. administrative panel component;
2. frontend (actually the very site).
But some parts may be absent altogether, for example, Search, which is a standard component, may not have the administrative part. Another example, Config, which helps to set the global parameters of the site may contain only an administrative part of it and nothing more.

- Modules

What is a module? Module is a means of expanding roles and opportunities for Joomla. More often than not, the module will only function information display, and exists only as an addition to already installed components. The most common units have left or right column, in the three Column layout. A common and simple example is the menu, calendar, a list of popular articles. By publishing module, you can specify in what area he must be on what pages it will be displayed. Advantage is that multiple systems, you can simply copy and publish components with different parameters. An example is: a module output the most popular articles for a particular day.

- Mamboty

What is the mambot? Above all, this feature. Its task is to carry out some manipulation of data before they begin to display its user site. At the moment there are several such groups mambotov:
1. content;
2. editors;
3. search. Now let's talk about each group separately. The group mambotov content helps to carry out various manipulations with the text of all articles. For example, to allocate words and phrases necessary to insert an image, remove the necessary extra spaces. It has already been said before - mambot is a feature that transfers data at the time of entry. To download the entire list of stories on a single day, say on the main page of your site, Joomla booted mamboty group content. In addition, mambot cause all consecutively for each page. That is the way all data that are loaded on the page pass through mambot.
The second group mambotov - editors. This group includes a visual editors Joomla. It is the visual editor will help you and facilitate the process of adding material on the site.
The third group is the group - search. The main objective of this mambota is to find data on a given keyword. Joomla already has a search mamboty to help you search for necessary to the normal standard components. In order to allow the search required for the gallery or archive with the help of search, you should install necessary for the mambot.

In summing up, you can safely say that the components are expanding Joomla, they communicate and interact with the user. They also constitute a functional part of the system. The modules perform only feature that displays information, most units did not perform any more work and operations. That's all different modules of components. It is also very important difference is that the modules can be copied, unlike the components. Expand Joomla in many cases you can with the help of several components, for example, a pair of modules or search mambotov. The objective component - to assume a variety of data, for example, delete, modify, add information. The modules only display data mambot help search for this component.
