Whenever we are developing extensions for Joomla! it is always good
practice to test the extensions on multiple systems. Extensions should
preferably be tested on Windows and Linux systems and tested using
PHP 4 and PHP 5.
Extension Types and Their Uses
A Joomla! extension is anything that extends Joomla!'s functionality beyond the core.
There are three main types of extension: components, modules, and plugins.
There are also languages and templates, but these are solely designed to modify
page output, irrespective of the data being displayed. Although we will discuss the
use of translation files and templates, we will not explicitly cover these two extension
types in this book.

Introduction to Joomla!
[ 10 ]
Tools, sometimes referred to as extensions, are essentially any type of extension
that does not fall into the extension type categories just described. We will not be
discussing how to create tools in this book.
Extensions are distributed in archive files, which include an XML manifest file that
describes the extension.
