Here's a screenshot:

Default Tiki page with the Menu module in the left column.

After adding modules, you can re-order them, assign permissions to them (so they appear only for specific user groups ), or even allow them to be customized by specific users.

For site-wide module settings, click the General icon on the Admin Panel or Access http://example.org/tiki-admin.php?page=general.
These settings will apply to all modules on the site and are explained in more detail at Module Admin.

There are two ways to configure and display individual modules:

1. Using the Admin Modules Panel
   • Located at Admin->Modules or tiki_admin_modules.php
   • Allows you to:
     • Set module parameters
     • Create custom modules
     • Place modules in the left or right column and, since Tiki7, other areas like the page header and footer
   • Documentation at Module Admin
2. Using PluginModule
   • Allows you to:
     • Display a module in a page or within other features (like blogs, articles, etc.) besides the left or right columns
     • Also place module content inside of a user module
     • Set module parameters
   • See Index of Modules

The distinction between modules and plugins is a little blurry. Technically speaking, modules are the containers and plugins are the content. However, the predefined modules included with the default Tiki installation contain plugins/content, but they are commonly called modules, too.
