Hi, I see "class GalleryModule extends GalleryPlugin" in GalleryModule.class.

Is there any difference between plugin and module? Why sometimes I see code referring to a plugin and then referring to a module?, are we talking about the same thing?

Regards!

Themes and Modules are Plugins.

Right, I just started working in changing a theme and clearly noticed:

class GalleryTheme extends GalleryPlugin
class GalleryModule extends GalleryPlugin

The power of inheritance :)

Thanks!
