Elvis 6 action plug-ins setting - URL

The URL setting is one of the settings of an Action plug-in that can be configured in its configuration file. For more information, see Elvis 6 Action plug-ins - configuration settings.

<action>
    <url>...</url>
</action>

Internally hosted plug-ins

Internally hosted plug-ins can have a URL relative to the Elvis server domain. This makes it possible to create a plug-in which can run directly in any Elvis server installation without having to change the URL setting. There are variables available that can be used to create these relative URLs.

Examples

Internally hosted, in the plug-in folder

Assume we have a plug-in called my_plugin, with the following path: active/my_plugin/index.html.

<url>${pluginUrl}/index.html</url>

Internally hosted, in the base plug-ins folder

Assume we have a plug-in that uses the HTML page from the plug-in base, for example the debug plug-in, which has the following path: plugin_base/action.base/debug.base/index.html.

<url>${pluginBaseUrl}/index.html</url>

Or:

<url>${pluginsBaseRootUrl}/action.base/debug.base/index.html</url>

Externally hosted

Assume that we have a plug-in hosted on a different machine, different domain, etc.
