I've seen 2 places where the modules/extensionsmodules/extensions appear:

  • MagentoConnect page: where you can see the module name, description, version and you are able to uninstall or upgrade
  • /app/etc/modules/app/etc/modules directory: where the main XMLXML of the module appear

My questions about modules:My questions about modules:

  1. Why do I see some modules appearing in "etc""etc" directory, but they don't appear in MagentoConnectMagento Connect page ?

  3. And how can I know which files are related with that module ?

Thank you !
