Modules are the boxes you see in the left and right side bars of the application. The user modules section lets the users hide or show available modules of a Tiki site and configure their positions. Modules administrators can make many more predefined modules available and create their own using HTML. PluginModule is a plugin that allows modules to be included in Wiki pages.
In some other CMSs, they are known as blocks.
