I installed the Ignition Extensions module from GitHub (link below) on an Ignition 8.3.4 Gateway.  
The module installs correctly and shows as **Active** in the Gateway module list, with no faults or warnings.

GitHub link:

The problem is that the module does not seem to load inside the Designer.  
When I open the Script Console and run:

```python
print dir(system)

```

There is **no** `system.extensions` **namespace**.

So the module is clearly active on the Gateway, but nothing shows up in the Designer.

This module never created a system extensions namespace. It adds the functions to the relevant namespaces.  
In the designer extension functions from this module are added to the following areas

```python
system.dataset

system.util

system.project

```

```java

```

If you're ever curious about which modules are successfully loaded in the client/designer, you can go to the diagnostics menu and open the 'about' section, which shows an accurate list of the modules on the system.
