I want to show a component in the backend index page. I have tried using the following methods in the index.php file but it doesn't show.

<?php                                                                                       $doc = JFactory::getDocument();
$module = JModuleHelper::getModule('mod_hello_ajax_world',$title);
//get and update params
$params = new JRegistry;
$params->loadString($module->params);
$params->set('some_param_of_module',$some_value);
//render module
$renderer = $doc->loadRenderer('module');
$content = $renderer->render($module, array('params'=> $params));
print $content;                                                                                   ?>

Also tried this:

<jdoc:include type="module" name="hello_ajax_world"/>

But it doesn't work either.

My module has a client type administrator.

What am I doing wrong?

Thanks in advance.

To show a module on the administrator:

Goto Extensions -> Module Manager. Set Filter to Administrator. Now you can see which positions you can use. For example you could add a module to the cpanel position.

But your question also holds the word component, so I'm not sure if you mean a module or component.

If you just want to show a quickicon, see Add a quick icon in Joomla 3
