Requirements[edit]
You need the latest version of Joomla! 2.5 (with PHP, MySQL, Apache and Microsoft II) for this tutorial (as of writing currently 2.5.11)
Introduction[edit]
Joomla! 2.5 is constructed using three different applications:
- installation (used for installing Joomla)
- administrator (used for managing content)
- public (used for displaying content)
The installation application is used once. The administrator and public are used through the concept of components with modules. Each module has a single entry point located in the modules directory. This is called mod_modulename/modulename.php (the mod_ prefix is a historical trace)
