Module Installation

You can add modules in either:

1. DATAFACE_PATH/modules directory (since 1.0)
2. DATAFACE_SITE_PATH/modules directory (since 1.3)

Modules in the DATAFACE_SITE_PATH directory will supersede modules in the DATAFACE_PATH/modules directory (since 1.3).

To activate a module for your application you also need to add an entry to the _modules? section of your conf.ini file. Each module will come with its own installation instructions.

Authentication Modules

Modules to add alternative authentication methods are added to the modules/Auth directory.
