On my CiviCRM site (currently CiviCRM 5.42.1 on Drupal 7.82 & PHP 7.4.24 - I'm trying to get an upgrade process together for this site), the /admin/extensions page doesn't seem to list the csv-import-helper extension (https://civicrm.org/extensions/csv-import-helper). I see maybe 50 or so extensions listed in the "Add New" tab, but csv-import-helper isn't one of them.

The extension looks like it would save us *tons* of work. How can I figure out what's causing it to not be available?

Only reviewed extensions appear there. See https://docs.civicrm.org/dev/en/latest/extensions/publish/#automated-distribution.

It doesn't mean you shouldn't install it, just that nobody's reviewed it as per the above and you need to install it manually using the download from the https://civicrm.org/extensions/csv-import-helper page.

Sidenote: You're on 5.42, and the latest version of that extension says 5.49, so even if it were visible you wouldn't see that latest version.

  • Thanks - one of the reasons I wanted to use the auto-install is that on my site (a Bitnami CiviCRM deploy) I can't actually find the extensions directory! It uses kind of a weird layout I don't understand yet. But I'll keep searching.

    If you go to Administer - System Settings - Directories, you'll see something at the bottom for "Extensions Directory". It might be a code, in which case you can click the help icon in the description at the top of the page to pop up a bubble which will tell you what that is (pics at lab.civicrm.org/dev/core/-/issues/1311)

  • Looks like for me on Bitnami it's [civicrm.files]/ext/, which is /opt/bitnami/drupal/sites/default/files/civicrm/ext/.
