Installing the modules.

• Click upload and install.
• After you receive the success message, navigate to Extensions > Module Manager

• Ensure that the module is published, is assigned to a menu item on the bottom left and all of the necessary parameters are configured.
• Apply or save the changes you have made.

Installing the JB Library Plugin

Once you have installed this plugin please ensure that the plugin is published. You can do this by doing the following:

• Navigate to your Joomla admin area at yoursite.com/administrator
• Navigate to Extensions > Install/uninstall
• Click browse and locate the extension zip on your hard drive. If the zip is named unzipfirst then you must unzip the files.
• Click upload and install.
• Navigate to Extensions > Plugin Manager.
• Scroll to the system group of plugins and locate JB LIbrary.
• Select the checkbox to the left of the plugin name and scroll to the top right of the page and click publish.

This plugin inserts a script reference into the head of the template that loads jQuery to load and enables all of the jQuery driven effects on the site to work properly. For more information see the content item for the JB Library plugin.
