4. Using Bistro's Optional Modules
In addition to the the standard functionality of the Bistro base license, you may want to use your website for a variety of specialized activities, such as e-commerce or managing an e-newsletter. The optional modules available as add-ons to Bistro make adding new features to your site quick and easy.

4.1 Installing and Uninstalling Modules
Once you have ordered and paid for your optional module, it will be made available for one click installation by you or your web designer in the Manage Your Modules area of Bistro.
To access this area, click the Admin icon 
on your main menu toolbar and the Adminstrative Options screen will open.
Click on the Manage your Modules link and the Manage your Modules screen will open.
Here you can
- Configure a module by changing its settings
- Install new modules which have been added to your license
- Uninstall modules previously installed
- Reinstall modules that have been previously uninstalled
4.1.1. Set up and Configure Your Modules
Some modules, such as the Menu Manager and the URL Manager (included in your base license), do not have any configurable settings. Others, such as the Page Manager (also included in your base license) do.
To configure an installed module
- Select it by clicking its name in the list of installed modules in the top area of your screen.
- The configuration screen for the module will open enabling you to make any desired changes to the settings for that module.
Note: specific instructions for configuring each of the available modules are provided separately. Navigate through the various module instructions through the menu tree on the left, or through the Table of Contents page.
4.1.2. Install or Reinstall a Modules
Modules that are available to be installed or reinstalled will be listed in the lower area of the Managing your Modules screen in the section entitled Modules to Add.
To install a new module, simply
- click on the add module link to the right of the name of the module you wish to install.
- The procedure for reinstalling a previously uninstalled module is exactly the same as for installing a new module.
4.1.3. Uninstall a Module
Modules that have been installed on your site can be uninstalled and reinstalled very easily.
It is important to remember, however, that deleting or uninstalling a module will irreversably remove any content contained in that module and break any links to that content that you may have added to the pages on your site.
To delete or uninstall a previously installed module,
- Click on the delete module and content link to the right of the module you wish to remove from your site.
- You will be asked to confirm this action to prevent accidental deletion of related content.
- Once a module has been uninstalled, it will be added to the modules available for installation on the Modules to Add area at the bottom of the Manage your Modules area.
Note: specific instructions for configuring and using each of the available modules are provided separately. Navigate through these instructions through the menu tree on the left, or through the Table of Contents page.
