Description of the packages
J!TrackGallery consists of several pieces, a Joomla! component, 2 modules and plugin packages.
The main functionality part or base package is a Joomla! component (com_jtg.zip<). This is the base package, which the modules and plugin rely on. The J!TrackGallery component provides the interface to upload GPS files and to store information, add a description, etc and to display them.
The plugin (plg_jtrackgallery_maps.zip) provides the possibility to show GPS tracks on a map on other pages, for example in Joomla! articles.
Two modules (mod_jtg_stats.zip and mod_jtg_latest.zip) provide functionality to show a list of the most popular and most recent tracks in a fixed location on each page.
