musicmaster Posted November 23, 2011 Share Posted November 23, 2011 I started my installation with the full installation and now I am pruning. I have thereby the choice between disabling and un-installing the modules that seem no longer necessary. I wonder what is best to do. Does it make a difference in performance?

Dave L Posted November 23, 2011 Share Posted November 23, 2011 I would generally disable them until I'm sure I don't want them any more and then uninstall. I'm not sure if there's any impact on performance if you just disable them but uninstalling is only one more click. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carolina Custom Designs Posted November 23, 2011 Share Posted November 23, 2011 I agree with Dave! I would also suggest that if it is a module that you know you will not use to just delete it entirely from your modules folder (on your server).

musicmaster Posted November 28, 2011 Author Share Posted November 28, 2011 Both of you suppose but are not sure. Is there anyone who knows for sure because he knows the architecture? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave L Posted November 29, 2011 Share Posted November 29, 2011 No, I am not sure if simply disabling a module makes a difference in performance. What I am sure about though, and not wanting to state the obvious, is if the module is not installed at all then it can't make a difference to anything. If you are concerned why don't you just uninstall the modules you don't use. It's not like it's a momentous task to reinstall them at some point later.

Mike Kranzler Posted November 29, 2011 Share Posted November 29, 2011 Hi musicmaster, Disabling modules will make a difference in performance for the Front Office, but if you have issues in the Back Office as well, uninstalling the modules will be the best way to go. And as Dave said, it doesn't really hurt to uninstall any modules you don't currently use; as long as you have the files still, it would be very easy to reinstall them if you change your mind. I hope this helps. -Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
