Hooks, applications, modules?

Hi,

As I understand they all add new features to the board. What's the difference between them?

Thanks

Applications and modules go together. An application is an addon to the board, and is made up of modules.
For example, Blog, Gallery, Downloads and the bug tracker we have here are applications.

Hooks on the other hand, modify the behaviour of an existing area area of the board, or add some kind of functionality to an existing module.
In 2.x we referred to these generically as "modifications" and they often required file edits.

Thank you Mark, just copied your post into the personal notepad to help me remember!

Hooks and applications will make it easier for people that have alot of modifications installed on their board. when they upgrade it dosen't effect anything. this saves on time in installing them all over again.
