I suggest even stronger to look at import-export/ofx, as this is pretty much exactly that kind of framework you need: - gncmod-ofx-import.c defines a loadable module. For a csv module, replace all "ofx" by "csv" and there you are. - gnc-plugin-ofx.c defines the gnc-plugin methods and registers this plugin with the gnc_plugin_manager by calling gnc_plugin_manager_add_plugin(); the actual *location* of a menu entry is defined in gnc-plugin-ofx-ui.xml which is loaded at run-time. The mapping of the "OfxImportAction" of the ui.xml file to an actual C callback is done in the gnc_plugin_actions struct in gnc-plugin-ofx.c. - The callback function that is run on clicking a menu item is gnc_plugin_ofx_cmd_import() in gnc-plugin-ofx.c which calls the actual import function. For menu item callbacks that also lookup the account window that was opened, see import-export/hbci/gnc-plugin-hbci.c, although this is considerably more involved. Also, I think you don't need to create a gncmod module (the first point above) but instead you could probably add the CSV importer directly into the src/import-export/ directory and call the registration code from libgncmod_generic_import_gnc_module_init() in gncmod-generic-import.c. But if you prefer a separate CSV module, feel free to take the OFX module as a template which will fit quite well.
