4.6.3. Modules

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.
  • Name
    This is the internal name of the module as used by the system. If the module has an administration interface, you can click on the name to access it.
  • Display Name
    This is simply the friendly name of the module used for display purposes
  • Description
    A short description of the module
  • Directory
    The directory (under /modules) where this module resides
  • Version
    The currently installed version of this module
  • State
  • The current state of the module. Possible states include: Not installed, Inactive, Active, Files Missing, New version installed, and Invalid
  • Actions
    The available actions will depend on the current state of the module. Typical actions include: Install, Activate, Deactivate, Remove module, Hooks, and Edit.

Regenerate List
If you upload a new module, you will need to regenerate the list from the file system by clicking on this link.

Settings
You can set the number of items (modules) shown per page and enable or disable legacy support. As you would imagine, it is best to not load legacy support unless you absolutely need to.
