Adding Custom Links to Control Panels

You can add information, such as your own announcements or links, to the home pages of both the site and user control panels. Links cannot be added to the reseller control panel, however.

To see examples of the information you can add:

  1. Log in to your Parallels Pro Control Panel server.
  2. On the Parallels Pro Control Panel server, go to the following directory: <Installation Directory>\cp\admin\ispadmin\branding, where <Installation Directory> is the path entered during installation.
  3. Locate the following files: siteadmin_sample.html and useradmin_sample.html.
  4. Rename these files as follows: siteadmin.html and useradmin.html.
  5. Log in to the site or user control panel to view the sample links. They appear at the bottom of the home page. If you do not see the links, your browser might be using a previously cached version. Refresh your browser's cache to view the links (in Internet Explorer, press Ctrl while clicking the browser's refresh button).
  6. After viewing the examples, you change the filenames back to siteadmin_sample.html and useradmin_sample.html. This removes the sample links from the control panels, and keeps these files available so you can refer to them later if necessary.

To add your own information to site and user control panels:

  1. Create HTML files that contain the information or links you want to display in the site and user control panels. Name these files siteadmin.html and useradmin.html.
  2. Log in to your Parallels Pro Control Panel server.
  3. On the Parallels Pro Control Panel server, go to the following directory: <Installation Directory>\cp\admin\ispadmin\branding, where <Installation Directory> is the path entered during installation.
  4. Copy your new siteadmin.html and useradmin.html files into that directory.
  5. Log in to the site or user control panel to view the new information. They appear at the bottom of the home page. If you do not see the changes, your browser might be using a previously cached version. Refresh your browser's cache to view the changes (in Internet Explorer, press Ctrl while clicking the browser's refresh button).
