Joomla! Plugins
Plugins control essential utilities used by your Joomla! website, including the Content Editor.
What is the difference between a standard plugin and a 3rd Party Plugin?
- Standard Plugins
- Standard Plugin
An Example of a Ready Supplied Plugin = The Search Plugin
This vital piece of kit is a vital part of any content management system, for if we are to manage content, we surely have to be able to find it first!
Indeed, if your readers cannot easily find what they are looking then they will leave as quickly as they arrived and never come back again!
- 3rd Party Plugins
- 3rd Party Plugins
Many third party components are accompanied by one or more plugins.
One example is the JCE Admin Component. This is accompanied by the JCE Editor Plugin - without which it would not be able to do its job of helping you edit your articles.
You can view the many third party plugins available for use with your Joomla! website via the Joomla! Extensions Directory.
