Hi, I am new to nopCommerce and looking at how to create a custom plugin, following this tutorial: https://www.nopcommerce.com/docs/77/how-to-write-a-nopcommerce-plugin.aspx.
The only thing is. I want to use the no_source project and therefore am not able to set the output path as is set out in the tutorial, because I do not have the Presentation\Nop.Web\Plugins.. project available to me as a project, it is instead available in the no source solution dlls.
I have created a new Project alongside my nopCommerceSource (no source) solution and change the output path built to:
..\MyProject.web\Plugins\Payments.Adyen\
And this works in copying my 'plugins' dlls and description to the sub directory plugins folder of the web project. But when I attempt to view my plugins in the admin area, the following alert pops up on screen:
"Error! The requested URL returned 500 - Internal Server Error"
And none of the plugins are loaded at all.
How can I work around this if I want to create a custom plugin without the source code, where should I point the output path to?
Is it possible to add a plugin alongside a no-source solution, or do I have to use the full source solution for this?
PS. I am reluctant to create my plugin in the source code because I want to avoid any complications that could arise with updates and would prefer to have my own project for my plugin, alongside my no_source nopCommerce solution.
