Modules

activeCollab is a flexible system which can be extended with optional extra modules. Administrators can manage these modules using the Modules section in the Administration panel. Two lists are displayed on this page:

• All modules that are currently installed and in use - Installed Modules
• All modules that are available, but not yet installed - Available Modules

To install a module, find the one you're interested in from the Available Modules list and click the Install button. The module will then be available for use in just a few seconds.

If the module you wish to use is not listed in the Available Modules list, then you will need to upload its files to your activeCollab setup. Modules are usually come as in two archived files:

• application.zip
• assets.zip

Unpack and upload these files to your activeCollab setup in the following way:

• the content of application.zip should be placed at the /activecollab/application/modules
• the content of assets.zip should be placed at the /public/assets/modules

Once the files are uploaded, refresh the Modules page and the new module will appear in the Available Modules list. One click on its Install button will do the rest.

To uninstall a module go to ** Administration > Modules**, and click the name of the module you wish to remove from the Installed Modules list. A new page with all the Module's details will appear. Now simply click the Uninstall button, and that module will be removed from your activeCollab setup. It will not be completely deleted, but instead moved to the Available Modules list where you can install it again in future if you wish.

If for some reason your activeCollab setup is not working correctly because of a broken module and you can't access the administration panel, then you can uninstall the plugin manually:

1. Open the acx_modules table and remove the plugin record from the table;
2. Remove the plugin form /activecollab/application/modules and /public/modules folders;
3. Clear all cch_ files from the /cache folder.
