The Modules administration is the heart of every Zikula installation.
View Displays a list of all modules located in your modules folder on your server. You can filter the list by clicking on a letter of the alphabet, or by selecting an installation state from the drop down box on the right. The installation state drop down box is a quick and easy way to see which modules are in an error state.
In the module list, you will see modules that you might be familiar with and some that are for system use only and cannot be accessed directly.
