Install Mail Importer?
Permalink
I duplicated the existing private message mail importer to the local libraries/mail/importers directory, then changed the file and class name, and made some modifications to the code, but C5 doesn't seem to be picking it up in the dashbaord. Are there additional steps necessary to make a custom mail importer show up in the importer list?
Did anyone figure this out? I've got the same issue, and I'm not sure if I have made a mistake somewhere, or why Concrete5 is not seeing my mail importer. I'm still just learning C5 and may not be aware of its idiosyncrasies...
there is no GUI as far as I know for installing Mail Importers, you either have to install via a package or insert values in the DB i believe (or run some php code to insert it into the db)

Ok, this worked. I created a package and used the install functions as they were described on the mail importers manual page (minus the errant comma). Let me make sure I clarify something about how I think about the structure of concrete5:
Is it accurate to say that the base directories of the site (e.g. "/libraries/mail/importers") are not ever used to add new functionality to a C5 site? Files in this location are strictly overrides of other files that either must exist in the core, or in a package?
Must all new functionality enter the site as a package?
Is the "packages" directory tree the only place C5 looks for new logic in the filesystem?

You can add new stuff there, and I think mail importers are the only
exceptions.
