Plugins added with CKEDITOR.plugins.addExternal do not work

[Wiktor Walc]

I moved the smiley folder out of the ckeditor/plugins folder and put it into a separate location. To use the extra plugin:

CKEDITOR.replace( 'editor1', { extraPlugins : 'smiley' } );

I'm trying to register an external plugin.

This one works:

CKEDITOR.plugins.addExternal( 'smiley', '/plugins/smiley/', 'plugin.js' );

while this method doesn't fully work:

CKEDITOR.plugins.addExternal( 'smiley', '/plugins/smiley/plugin.js', '' );

According to the ​documentation, both should work.

The result for the latter is that the English translation is not properly loaded, as a result the editor does not start at all.

The requested URL for the language file is:

/plugins/smiley/plugin.jslang/en.js
