setting extensions directory
February 19, 2013, 08:29:12 pm
So the docs ...CRMDOC42/Extensions say to place the extensions directory outside of the directory where the codebase is installed.  Is that referring to the Drupal codebase or the civicrm code?

I have Drupal sites managed with Aegir and I put the CiviCRM modules in the site's own modules folder (so CiviCRM modules are not shared by all sites).  Where should the extensions directory go?

Thanks so much!

If you put your Drupal module in /sites/all/modules, you could always put your extensions directory in /sites/default/files/extensions or whatever you want to call it.

At least, that's what I've done.

Thanks.  Ok...

So if civicrm is located in platform/sites/sitename.com/modules/civicrm
then I could put extensions in platform/sites/sitename.com/files/extensions ?

Now the extension resource url... should that be to this directory or should it be to civicrm.org/extdir/ver={ver}|cms={uf} or something else?

I'm confused.  This is my first time setting up CiviCRM

You can put the extensions directory anywhere you want, provided it's not under the civicrm folder.

What you put in the Extensions Resources URL depends on your specific server configuration.

For mine, where the extensions directory lives in [drupal_folder]/sites/default/files/extensions, the Extensions Resources URL is:

https://server-name.ca/[drupal_folder]/sites/default/files/civicrm/extensions/
