Description
This is where you will add new Modules or edit existing Modules for the front end of your Joomla! web site.
When you install Joomla!, 20 built-in Modules are available for use in the front end of your web site. Some
Modules, like the Menu Module, are used in every Joomla! web site. Other Modules are optional.
Note that all Module Types have the same fields in the Details and Menu Assignment sections. These are
documented in the Module Manager - New/Edit screen. Each Module Type has different Parameter fields.
These are documented for each Module Type below.
Screenshot
Note that if you install one or more Joomla! Extensions, these Extensions may add new Module Types. In
this case, your screen will show additional Types.
