What is a Joomla module? A module, for the most part, is a program to
create content that surrounds your “main content” section. These are mainly displayed in the different module positions: top, left, right, etc. Joomla modules usually go hand-in-hand to display certain information from other installed components. Ex: display latest forum post made on your forum component, display random images from your image gallery component, display latest news, most popular articles, so on and so on. Even the menus are modules. Note: You can display modules in “main content”, but that’s another how-to.
