Dialog box editing interface in 5.7

Permalink
Hi Guys,
I'm trying to implement a dialog box similar (pretty much the same but with my own package dialog view) as the Add Groups on the dashboard user page. I've disected the source code and got it working with the built in groups page on my own single page in the dashboard but i can't figure out how to get the URL to my package's dialog view file.

I see the code in the users/search.php code is this:
<a class="btn btn-default btn-xs" data-button="assign-groups" dialog-width="640" dialog-height="480" dialog-modal="true" href="<?php echo URL::to('/ccm/system/dialogs/group/search')?>?filter=assign" dialog-title="<?php echo t('Add Groups')?>" dialog-modal="false"><?php echo t('Add Group')?></a>

I tried a few combinations of modifying the url (/ccm/package/developer_crm/dialogs/customer/search) and (/package...) and (/developer_crm/...) but to no success as the dialog box does not even open up to say the page couldn't be found. any ideas on the proper URL I should be passing?

In your package directory should create a /views directory.
For example, /package_handle/views/box_functions.
Also, you need to create a controller for this dialog box, which will be registered with 
Route::reigster(path_you_want_to_use, file_path\Class::methodName);

in controller, you jusr have to use this:
$this->view = new DialogView('/box_functions');
$this->view->setPackageHandle('package_handle');
