Custom Links

You can add custom hyperlinks to Plesk and make them visible for your users. The links may lead to web resources, such as your corporate site, or to a web application that can process online requests and accept additional information about the users who click these links.

You can specify what information about users should be passed:

Subscription ID, domain ID, and domain alias ID.
Primary domain name associated with a subscription.
FTP account username and password.
Customer's account ID, name, email, and company name.

You can place the links in the following locations of the Control Panel, and decide who should be able to see them:

On the Websites & Domains page in the Control Panel, visible only to you. This is achieved by selecting the Customer's Home page option in the link properties (Location).
On the Websites & Domains page in the Control Panel, visible to you and your users who are allowed to log in to the Control Panel. This is achieved by selecting the Common access option in the link properties (Location).
On the Websites & Domains tab in the Control Panel, visible to you and your users who are allowed to log in to the Control Panel. This is achieved by selecting the Websites & Domains page of Subscription option in the link properties (Location).
In the website tools area on the Websites & Domains tab in the Control Panel, visible to you and your users who are allowed to log in to the Control Panel. This is achieved by selecting the Websites Tools option in the button properties (Location).

To add a custom hyperlink to the Control Panel:

Go to the Account tab > Additional Services, and click Add Link to Service.
Specify the following settings:
- Type the text that will show on your button in the Button label box.
- Choose the location for your button (the Location box).
- Specify the priority of the button. Your custom buttons will be arranged in Plesk in accordance with the priority you define: the lower the number, the higher the priority. Buttons are placed in the left-to-right order.

It is recommended that you use a 16x16 pixels GIF or JPEG image for a button to be placed in the navigation pane, and 32x32 pixels GIF or JPEG image for buttons placed in the main frame or desktop.
- Type the hyperlink of your choice to be attached to the button into the URL box.
- Using the checkboxes, specify whether you want the customer information and other data to be transferred within the URL. These data can be used for processing by external web applications.
- In the Tooltip text input field, type in the help tip that will be displayed when the users place the mouse pointer over the button.
- Select the Open URL in Plesk checkbox if you want the destination URL to be opened in the main frame of Plesk, otherwise, leave this checkbox cleared to open the URL in a separate browser window or tab.
- If you want to make this button visible only to you, select the Show to me only checkbox.
Click Finish to complete creation.
