29FURTHER CONFIGURATIONS
30------------------------------
31
32Because Halogy is built upon the amazing CodeIgniter framework (http://codeigniter.com), you can easily extend and modify Halogy to
33your hearts content. There are also configurations you can make to Halogy using the standard CodeIgniter configuration files, for
34example the database.php (in /halogy/application/config), the config.php (for character encoding and compression settings), etc.
35
36PLEASE NOTE: If you modify Halogy we will no longer be able to support it.

42Official modules can be purchased from our shop at http://www.halogy.com/shop, however you are free to develop your own modules by
43just building mini-applications (see the CodeIgniter and HMVC documentation) and dropping them in to the Modules folder inside 
44Application. You can then access the modules by going to yoursite.com/module.
