Overlapping of Navigation Menu items of Two different seed plugins.

Describe the bug
We recently developed and deployed a UI plugin for the vCD provider UI. This plugin enables information rendering in an iframe when accessed through the "More > Documentation" option. However, we have encountered an issue when attempting to deploy another plugin that offers redirections when we click that More > FooBar item. When both plugins are published simultaneously, the menu item name and functionality of the first-deployed plugin become overlapped.

We are currently investigating whether this is a bug, and exploring options for combining the functionality of both plugins into a single, cohesive plugin.

Hey @cs-chandu check your localisation files of both plug-ins, the localisation files are in JSON format and the keys must be unique for every UI Plug-in.

Thanks for quick reply, where exactly should I change? I have taken clone and made changes to this repo: https://github.com/vmware-samples/vcd-ext-samples/tree/plugin-seed-9.1

Now it looks something like this. Just adding a Menu item and have it redirected to another url.

is it i18n.json?

Edit: looks like here is the issue... manifest.json urn is same for both the plugins. @nvladimirovi Thank you, I keep you posted if it's working or not. :)

Hi @nvladimirovi ,

It is still not working mate.

Manifest.json

for current plugin:

{
    "urn": "vmware:vcloud:plugin:seed:myresources",
    "name": "My Resources Plugin",
    "containerVersion": "9.1.0",
    "version": "1.1.7",
    "scope": ["service-provider", "tenant"],
    "permissions": [],
    "description": "Developed by Chandu; Plugin that takes customers to Rackpsace Resources VMM Portal.",
    "vendor": "VMware",
    "license": "Copyright (C) VMware 2017-2018.  All rights reserved.",
    "link": "http://www.vmware.com/support",
    "module": "SubnavPluginModule",
    "route": "plugin"
}

and for existing plugin

{
    "urn": "vmware:vcloud:plugin:seed",
    "name": "Rackspace Solution Guide",
    "containerVersion": "9.1.0",
    "version": "1.0.1",
    "scope": ["service-provider", "tenant"],
    "permissions": [],
    "description": "Rackspace Document plugin.",

    "link": "http://www.vmware.com/support",
    "module": "SubnavPluginModule",
    "route": "plugin"
}

Changed urn slightly: vmware:vcloud:plugin:seedmyresources

The localization JSON files are in ./src/public there prefix all JSON keys with something unique,
also the route of every plugin again has to be unique (in manifest.json).
