Adding Links to the Left Navigation Bar

The following procedure explains how to add a link, such as Contact Us, next to the Services option on the left navigation bar of the Server Administrator control panel.

To add a custom link to the left navigation bar:

1. Log in to the Parallels Pro Control Panel server as the root user.
2. Verify that the resource /static/xml/isp.navbar.xml exists.

   /usr/bin/ensim/GUIResourceList --role <role> --user <username> --url /static/xml/isp.navbar.xml --skin <skin_name>

3. Download the resource.

   /usr/bin/ensim/GUIResourceDownload --role <role> --user <username> --url /static/xml/isp.navbar.xml --skin <skin_name> > /tmp/isp.navbar.xml

4. Make the required changes to the file /tmp/isp.navbar.xml. Search for the <item> nodes, add nodes according to your requirement, and save your changes. For example, to insert a link Contact Us, next to the link Services, insert the Contact Us XML snippet as shown in the navigation bar links illustration (Adding Links to the Left Navigation Bar section).
5. Upload the resource to the Parallels Pro Control Panel server.

   /usr/bin/ensim/GUIResourceCustomize --role <role> --user <username> --url /static/xml/isp.navbar.xml --skin <skin_name>--uri /tmp/isp.navbar.xml

   The resource is customized. To verify the result, log in to the Server Administrator control panel and refresh the Web page.

   If you want to revert your changes, type the following command.

   /usr/bin/ensim/GUIResourceRevert --role <role> --user <username> --url /static/xml/isp.navbar.xml --skin <skin_name>
