Description

I want to include a plugin that is not in the editor url, but elsewhere on the server. Is it possible to specify the URL for certain plugins?

plugin:// would need to be updated to handle this.

rev [999]: if you are using Xinha.loadPlugins() and the xinha_plugins array (NewbieGuide style) you can now instead of just the plugin name an object containing the name and a url for the plugin, like: 

  xinha_plugins = xinha_plugins ? xinha_plugins :
  [
   'CharacterMap', //loads from _edito_url/plugins/CharacterMap/character-map.js
   {plugin:'AnotherPlugin',url:'/XinhaExternalPlugins/AnotherPlugin/AnotherPlugin.js'} // loads from the given path
  ]

Inside the plugin you can refer to the given path for loading additional assets using Xinha.getPluginDir(pluginName) 

Xinha.getPluginDir('AnotherPlugin') + '/img/icon.gif'; // would resolve to /XinhaExternalPlugins/AnotherPlugin/img/icon.gif
