This is a list of modules for Magnolia CMS. A module is an independent component that performs a particular task or is used to package content and functionality. The system itself is built of modules; AdminCentral, Document Management System and Workflow are all modules.

If you want to extend Magnolia CMS with your own functionality, we recommend that you create a custom module. You do not need to start from scratch. There are some prepared abstract classes which can be used to create a new module. It's common practice to implement and extend one or more of these prepared abstract module classes.

Installing

A module consist of a JAR file and potentially other dependencies as JAR files. Modules are responsible for updating their own content and configuration across versions. Be sure to keep one single version of each module and its dependencies.

1. Stop the application server where you deploy the module.
2. Copy the JAR file(s) into WEB-INF/lib directory inside your webapp. Location of this directory depends on the application server.
• Tomcat: /webapps/magnoliaAuthor/WEB-INF/lib
• JBoss: /server/default/deploy/magnoliaPublic/WEB-INF/lib
3. Restart the instance.
4. Access the AdminCentral interface.
   Magnolia CMS update wizard will start.
5. Click the link to start the update process.
   The update wizard installs the JAR file and reports results.
6. Click Start up Magnolia.
7. Magnolia CMS restarts.

Install the module for each Author and Public instance by repeating the steps above.

Uninstalling

Uninstalling a module involves removing the module JAR from /WEB-INF/lib folder and restarting Magnolia. However, this is rarely enough as modules add new configuration nodes and modify existing configuration during their installation. The use of a module also results in changes to content repositories. Removing all of this information is difficult without knowing exactly what the installation tasks were.

If you want test a given module, use the embedded Derby database and take a backup of your repositories folder. Then install the module and try it out. When you are done testing, remove the module JAR and restore the repositories folder from the backup. This way you can go back to square one after the trial. We also recommend that you implement segregated development and production environments and take regular backups for disaster recovery so you can revert to a prior state in a routine fashion.
