Applications & Modules: Manage Applications & Modules
Submitted Mark, Nov 17 2009 10:46 AM | Last updated Dec 05 2012 11:54 PM
You can manage the applications that you have installed, their modules and install additional applications by going to Admin CP --> System --> Manage Applications and Modules.
Installed Applications
This table lists all the applications you have installed on your community - it is split into three sections:
You can disable/enable any application by clicking on the tick/cross icon. When you disable an application, all its data will remain, so that it can be quickly re-enabled later, but it will not be available to your members.
You can reorder applications by dragging them up and down the list - the order in the table will affect the order of the tabs in the header of your community.
It is by design that applications must remain in the groups described above - you cannot move a third-party add on above a root application, for example.
To uninstall any application, choose the option from the dropdown menu.
Managing Modules
Clicking on any application will allow you to manage it's admin modules - you can also manage the application's public modules by selecting the option from the dropdown.
You can then click on any module to edit it's settings or disable/enable it.
Applications Not Installed
This table lists all the applications uploaded to your server, but not installed. Click on the install link to install any uninstalled application.
For detailed instructions on installing applications, see this article.
Information for developers
Developers looking to create their own applications should look at our developer's documentation. Specifically, this article will get you started.
What is an application?
An application is one of the areas which makes up your community. Applications are represented as tabs along the header of your community.
IP.Board comes with several built-in applications such as Forums and Calendar and you can get additional applications such as Gallery, Blog and more.

What is a module?
A module is one area of an application. For example, the PM system is one module of the "Members" application.
A module can either be "admin", which means it's part of the Admin CP; or "public", which means it's part of the front-end.

The buttons provided at the top of this section (to export, recache or add new application) are intended for developers only and can be ignored by most users.
This table lists all the applications you have installed on your community - it is split into three sections:
- Root Applications These are part of the IP.Board core and cannot be edited or removed.

- Third Party Add Ons These are applications provided by third parties and not supported by IPS
