Does Anyone Know The Difference Between A Component & A Module In Joomla.cause I’m Confused A Little..thanx
uptill know wat i’ve understood is that the component is in the back end and the module is in the front end…but does that mean that if I developed a component ,that compnent will correspond to a module..In other words could there be a module without a component on the back end???

Hi,
Well, the modules are the boxes that you plug into the frontend to add user content, like for example the login form. The components, on the other hand, are pieces of programs that give you additional interactivity to your application, like for example, the blog or the bookmarks. Regarding your question, yes, you can have a module without a component and vice versa. I’m going to give you an example that is not 100% accurate, but it will give you a better idea: let’s say that you are in the front end of the default Joomla! installation:http://demo.joomla.org/demo10/
Well, modules are all those squared boxes on the sides, like for example, the newsflash and the login form. Now click on the blog. All those news and text is rendered by a component named blog that can be configurated from the back end.
Hope this helps,
