Hi. I have created a gadget that I want to appear as a new tab in the assets panel beside the Blocks and Media tabs

For a simple test I testet the example from this url: docs.developers.optimizely.com/content-management-system/v11.0.0-cms/docs/creating-a-component-1

public class PlugInArea

{

public const string Assets = "/episerver/cms/assets";

public const string AssetsDefaultGroup = "/episerver/cms/assets/defaultgroup";

public const string NavigationDefaultGroup = "/episerver/cms/mainnavigation/defaultgroup";

public const string Navigation = "/episerver/cms/mainnavigation";

protected PlugInArea()

{

}

But my gadget is always placed below the assets area.

How can the widget be plased as a new tab after the Media tab?

Hi,

I think there is a setting named SortOrder. Just try to set suitable value for SortOrder to display in the order that you want.

Looking at the CMS 12 docs -- https://docs.developers.optimizely.com/content-management-system/docs/plugging-in-a-gadget

Are you using PlugInArea == "AssetsPanel"?

Did you try to set SortOrder and PlugInAreas as following:

[Component]
public class CustomComponent : ComponentDefinitionBase
{	
	public CustomComponent ()
		: base([yourWidgetType])
	{
                //...
		base.SortOrder = 200;
		base.PlugInAreas = new string[1] { PlugInArea.AssetsDefaultGroup };		
                //...
	}
}
