Installing our first module
Our module is ready to be installed! It contains our module class, the logo, and the index.php
file. Let’s log in to our BO and click on the Improve section in the navigation menu, then Modules | Module Manager. You should see a listing of modules on the screen. If you scroll to the Design & Navigation subsection (because we defined the $tab
