How to add a custom div as a map object

Votes:

0

I'm trying to add a custom div as a map object. (very similar to Paessler's own dashboard detailed here https://www.paessler.com/blog/dashboards-at-paessler )

To do this, I need a custom javascript loaded, as well as a custom div. I have tried placing the javascript in PRTG/webroot/myfolder/myfiles.js however I'm getting a "not found" everytime I try to reference that location directly. Ex: http://prtg/myfolder/myfiles.js just says "Not Found"

How can I get PRTG to recognize the files that I placed into it's webroot folder?

custom-map https maps

Dear rgoodrow

Please try to put the js file in C:\Program Files (x86)\PRTG Network Monitor\webroot\javascript and use an according path in the map object file.

after moving the folder inside the javascript folder, it seems to be loading javascript now, however now I cannot load the other related files.

For reference, here is the mapobject I'm trying to create

<!--Security Camera: Front Lobby-->

<div class="map_object map_icon mapicon_status_white" id="<@itemid>" objectid="<@objectid>" subid="<@subid>" style="<#mapobject type="topleftcoordinates" subid="<@subid>" mode="<@editmode>">">
  <#mapobject type="objectgrip" mode="<@editmode>">
  <#mapobject type="htmlbefore" subid="<@subid>">
  <span>
    <script type="text/javascript" src="/javascript/vxgplayer/vxgplayer-1.8.40.min.js"></script>
    <div class="vxgplayer" id="vxg_media_player1" url="rtsp://<link>/videoMain" nmf-src="/javascript/vxgplayer/pnacl/Release/media_player.nmf" nmf-path="/javascript/vxgplayer/pnacl/Release/media_player.nmf" width="300" height="200" mute="" controls="" avsync="" style="width: 320px; height: 240px;"></div>
  </span>
  <#mapobject type="htmlafter" subid="<@subid>">
</div>

there are two .nmf files that need to be loaded in conjunction with the javascript file, however my console shows they're getting a 404 error from the server when trying to load them.

Dear rgoodrow,

the web server does not allow unrestricted access to PRTG files. The only way here is to use external resources (HTTP links.)
