    it seems the only way to add modules or templates is to paste the code into the manger - even if I’ve uploaded the module/template folder to the appropriate area in the site via ftp....is this so?
    thanks

      That is true. Modules and plugins need at the very least a single line of code including the external files. Many modules and plugins set up basic configuration, then include or require their external files. That’s because the module system works from the database, and so needs some kind of initialization from the database.
