PhpGedView is capable of utilising modules to extend and enhance its features by way of third-party code. Information about creating a module is available for those who wish to develop them.
Some modules may come with the PhpGedView package you download. To install other modules, download the module's files and place them in the modules folder in your PGV folder. Usually these files will be organized as a single php file and a folder of additional files. Generally this is all that is necessary, but check for a specific 'readme' or similar file in the set of module files.
