<translate> As a developer you are tasked with altering or extending the functionality of Joomla! or one of its extensions. You will be proficient in a range of programming languages, including PHP, but may be less familiar with such things as JavaScript or CSS. If you are new to Joomla! you will need information about the Joomla! Framework API and how to use it and will probably make extensive use of best practice example code.</translate>


A complete contents list of all pages of interest to developers can be found in the development category.

Modules[edit]

<translate> This page contains many links to selected documentation concerning Module Development for Joomla 2.5 and Joomla 3.x. A good place to start is with the Recommended Reading articles below as they provide a good introductory base of knowledge to build on.</translate>

<translate> What is a Module?</translate>

<translate>

Modules are lightweight and flexible extensions used for page rendering. These modules are often “boxes” arranged around a component on a typical page. A well-known example is the login module. Modules are assigned per menu item, so you can decide to show or hide (for example) the login module depending on which page (menu item) the user is currently on.
