I'm relatively new to programming and I'm experimenting with something new here. I was using kibana 4 with following plugin: [https://github.com/kreeware/kibana-cookbook/tree/master/asset-example](https://github.com/kreeware/kibana-cookbook/tree/master/asset-example).

In kibana 4 I used this plugin to expose all images in the public folder. So I could access them with /plugins/assets/image.png

Now I upgraded to version 5 and the plugin isn't working anymore. I tried updating it myself but without much luck.

I did not found much info on how to write plugins for kibana 5. I tried to start with this [https://github.com/elastic/generator-kibana-plugin](https://github.com/elastic/generator-kibana-plugin). But I got problems with it.

If someone can easily do this, I'd like them to explain, I'd like to know how it works.

Hi Zizi,

There are a few things that would have to be changed in the steps and plugin installation to make `asset-example` work again in 5.x.

1. Copy `asset-example` to `KIBANA/plugins/assets`
2. Change the `"version": "0.1.0",` line in `KIBANA/plugins/assets/package.json`. It needs to match the exact version of Kibana, for example `5.0.2`.
3. Put your images into `KIBANA/plugins/assets/public`
4. You can still reference your images using `http://localhost:5601/plugins/assets/image.png` or whatever

Alright that worked!

Many thanks. So I've to keep the version in the package.json updated.
