Module Design
[ 118 ]
Of course we don't have to use the database to store data. For example, we can use
XML files. A full description of using XML in Joomla! is available in Chapter 10.
Modules and Components Working Together
Joomla! does not provide a large API for Modules; it's partly for this reason that
generally we create modules in conjunction with components. Modules, which
complement components, should take advantage of existing component code. This
creates dependencies between the module and the component.
There is currently no formal way of defining dependencies in extensions. We must
manually ensure that all dependencies are met.
