Install and Manage Your Modules

This task is for users with the OC Site Manager or OC System Administrator roles.

Each page on your site uses a particular content type and module. Most of the necessary modules will already be installed on your site, but you can install others if necessary.

Some modules are unavailable for certain site types. The complete list of modules and their availability can be found in this article.

You can also check which modules are Installed, Not installed, and Not available for each of your sites by going to More > About my OpenCities. This admin section will tell you what modules are available to install on your sites, what version of the CMS platform you're using (and when it was last updated), and how many active and inactive users you have. While the table will indicate which modules are installed on your sites, it will only display the details of modules available to install, not modules that are automatically installed, such as Events and General pages. You cannot install modules from About my OpenCities.

You can learn about and install modules from the Modules section of the main menu, which will list all the available modules. The View Details link for each module gives you a description, links to a related demo and help topic, and the list of sites the module has been installed on.

If you are trying to install a premium module, you must contact us to process payment and install it. The following modules are premium:
