Hi,

In CMS 5 R2 the UI and Util files have been moved to the Program Files folder and are included with Virtual Path Providers in web.config. Have a look at the section episerver/virtualPath in your web.config file to find out where they are located.

It's of course possible to add your plug-in related files to the Program Files\EPiServer\CMS\... folder found in web.config, but this approach has some implications.

1. The files you add won't be migrated when you upgrade your site to a new version of EPiServer CMS. An upgrade will only change the virtual path configuration in web.config.
2. The files you add will be available for all EPiServer sites on the host.

Another alternative is to add your plug-in dependencies to a custom folder in the site, for instance /UIPlugIns/, and then use the overload GetScriptTag(fullPath, false) when adding the script reference to the editor.
To properly secure your dialogs you also have to add a location directive in web.config for your plug-in folder with the same security as the UI folder.

<location path="UIPlugIns">
  <system.web
    <authorization>
      <allow roles="WebEditors, WebAdmins, Administrators"/>
      <deny users="*"/>
    </authorization>
  </system.web>
</location>

You may also want to have a look at Modal Dialogs in the EPiServer UI for Non-IE Browsers for a run-down on creating modal dialogs in EPiServer CMS 5.

Hi,

Thanks for this post, been struggling a few hours now and was on the verge of pulling my hairs out.

I got this working by setting my own folder up like Stefan said and adding it manually.

Thanks,

Vincent
