Operation Manual Index
Assuming you have not uninstalled your new module, lets go back to System admin>Modules. Modules administration page where your new module is displayed in the active section and continue with the setup procedure.
2.11.5.1. Renaming module Your new module will now appear in a table in the upper section of the module administration page indicating a successful installation (see Figure 2.11, Installed module administration).
Beneath the module icon you will see the module name in a small form box. You can rename the module here by inputting this form. The name supplied here will be the name displayed your sites main menu. This can also be changed elsewhere in the configuration, as we will see later.

Figure 2.13. Module menu
When hovering or clicking on the module icon on the left of the page, some Modules will display a menu with links to specific settings and options only for that module. Some modules do not have an administration menu, in which case no menu is displayed.
Each module has individual functions and display options. Unless you have doucmentation for a module, you will need to experiment and explore the various options for using the module.
The following guidelines are for configuring the module within the system and not related to the particular workings of any one module.
2.11.5.2. Display and position options for the module Go to system admin>blocks administration page.
This next section assumes the module is correctly installed and that no error messages were encountered during the install process.
Many modules share common properties with blocks, already described in Section 2.12.5, Search Options in this manual. These are typically:
The position of where the block is displayed on the web page.
Which pages the block will be displayed in.
Which user groups are allowed to see the block
Please refer to section 3.3 above for configuring these options.
Some modules have different components for their operation. Thus, for example a news module is divided into 4 blocks:
Top news
Big story
Other news
News topics
In these cases each block will be identified in a block description and the module it relates to in the module column of the blocks administration page.
