What is the Difference Between Joomla! Components, Modules, Extensions, and Plugins?

The difference between Joomla components, Joomla modules, Joomla extensions, and Joomla plugins can be somewhat confusing for someone who is not familiar with how Joomla works. First, understand that the term "extensions" is a generic term which applies to all the others. Joomla modules, components, plugins, and templates are all extensions which are designed to add functionality to the core Joomla framework.

1. Joomla Components: a component is a mini-application that renders the main body of the page, such as contact pages, web links, RSS feeds, articles, and the like.
2. Joomla Modules: modules are the sections of your pages that lie in predefined boxes on each page around the main content, such as headers, footers, sidebars, and navigation menus.
3. Joomla Plugins: a plugin is a kind of Joomla! extension which provides added functionality to the basic Joomla! framework. It is a section of code that runs when a pre-defined event happens within Joomla!

The number of available extensions for Joomla! is practically endless. These extensions can interact with each other in various ways, and you can install or uninstall any extension from the Extensions Manager within your Joomla! administration panel. The Cincopa Media Platform for Joomla! is a plugin which allows you to create a photo gallery, a video slideshow, a podcast, or music player as an article and place it literally anywhere in your site.
