 Also note that JFusion itself is referred to as a Joomla extension that you use inside Joomla.  On this page, when we use the term //JFusion Plugin//, we are referring to the plugin by Geodesic Solutions for use inside JFusion, we are **not** referring to JFusion extension itself. Also note that JFusion itself is referred to as a Joomla extension that you use inside Joomla.  On this page, when we use the term //JFusion Plugin//, we are referring to the plugin by Geodesic Solutions for use inside JFusion, we are **not** referring to JFusion extension itself.
