Plugin Path ... external or convention or both?

I have an application with the following directory structure:

/www

/config

/plugins

/SamplePlugin.cfc

/templates

/test

/plugins

/SamplePlugin.cfc

What I need here is that the /templates/test/plugins/SamplePlugin.cfc would take the highest precedence, followed by the /plugins/SamplePlugin.cfc.

In my Coldbox.cfc configuration file, I have the following settings:

pluginsExternalLocation = “plugins”

conventions = {

pluginsLocation = “templates/test/plugins”

};

And right now, neither of the SamplePlugin.cfc files are being picked up by the application. What am I missing?

Thanks!
