Assets Server plug-ins introduction - URL variables

Action plug-in URL settings, such as url and the icon URLs (like icon16Url) can be defined relative to the URL (or the base URL) of the plug-in. This makes it possible to create a plug-in which can run directly in any Assets Server installation without having to change the URL setting.

Note. All URL's are without a trailing slash.

There are variables that can be used to create these relative URL's. Let's assume Assets Server runs under.

http.//www.myassetsserver.com

• ${pluginUrl}. plug-in folder URL.

http.//www.myassetsserver.com/plugins/<plugin_group>/<plugin_name>

• {pluginBaseUrl}. Base plug-in folder URL.

http.//www.myassetsserver.com/plugins/plugins_base/<plugin_group>/<plugin_name>

The following variables are also available and do not depend on your plug-in name.

• ${serverUrl}. Assets Server URL.

http.//www.myassetsserver.com

• ${pluginsRootUrl}. Active plug-ins folder URL.

http.//www.myassetsserver.com/plugins

• ${pluginsBaseRootUrl}. Base plug-ins folder URL.

http.//www.myassetsserver.com/plugins/plugins_base

• ${externalServerUrl}. Explicit base URL for web client e-mail links. See Access for external users.

http.//www.myexternalelvisserver.com

• ${externalAirClientServerUrl}. Explicit base URL for Pro client e-mail links. See Access for external users.
