Error when opening plugin settings page

[hpooni 6]

I'm trying to develop a server plugin following the wiki guidelines.  I managed to create a basic plugin and deployed it to the server and it shows up under "My Plugins".  The problem arises when I add configuration settings to the plugin and attempt to display that page. I get "Error loading page" and the following exception is thrown in the log.

 

2015-02-03 09:19:14.1619 Error - HttpServer: Error processing request for /mediabrowser/web/ConfigurationPage?name=TestPlugin

ServiceStack.HttpError

No Stack Trace Available

 

Note I've modeled the configuration setting after an existing plugin (NextPvr), Also, please note that I develop (using VS2013) on a different machine than the one running the MB server.  They're both running Windows 8.1.

 

Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

One version of the error message should have had a stack trace on it but, more than likely, you are missing the definition of the configuration page or its name doesn't match up with what you put in the html page or you didn't actually include the html page in your resources so it cannot be found.

Thanks for the your reply.  Below is the other message from the log.

I created Configuration folder with three config files (configPage.html, PluginConfiguration.cs, TestPluginConfigurationPage.cs) following the structure of the NextPvr plugin.

Can you show us the code? It will be easier....

My best guess is you forgot to mark your html page as an Embedded Resource.  Be sure you did that and that your GetHtmlStream method is returning that resource.

Wow, that was it!  Marked it as an "Embedded Resource" and it works fine.  Learned something new there.  Thanks a lot for your help, its very much appreciated!

 

Now I can move on to develop a real plugin.
