Plugins

The authentication plugins operate when users login to your site or administrator. The Joomla! authentication is in operation by default but you can enable Gmail or LDAP or install a plugin for a different system. An example is included that may be used to create a new authentication plugin.

Default on:

  • Joomla

Default off:

  • Gmail
  • LDAP

The search component uses plugins to control which parts of your Joomla! site are searched. You may choose to turn off some areas to improve performance or for other reasons. Many third party Joomla! extensions have search plugins that extend where search takes place.

Default On:

  • Content Help
  • Contacts Help
  • Weblinks Help
  • News Feeds Help
  • Categories Help
