How many extensions are there in Joomla?

There are five common types of extensions for Joomla!: Components, Modules, Plugins, Templates, and Languages. There are three others: Packages, Files and Libraries. Each of these extensions handle specific functionality (many built-in features of Joomla! are implemented using extensions).

You're coming from Drupal so I am thinking that what you're looking for and cannot find in Joomla is something like CCK (Content Construction Kit)

Unfortunately this is not available by default in Joomla. You have to use extensions to create new types of content that contain specific fields.

Best free CCKs available for Joomla :

  1. Form2Content (my favorite)
  2. K2 (most popular, highly recommended)

You can find more in Joomla Extension Directory
