46 Configuring Your Control Panel
Rebranding Your Control Panel with a Custom Logo Banner
You can replace the default Plesk logo banner in the top frame with your own logo. It
will be visible to your customers when they log in to their control panels. You can also
make your logo a clickable hyperlink.
You should use a GIF, JPEG or PNG format file for your logo, preferably not larger
than 100 kilobytes to minimize the download time. It is recommended that you use an
image of 50 pixels in height.
To set up your logo image:
1 Click the Server shortcut in the navigation pane.
2 Click the Logo Setup icon in the Control Panel group.
3 Specify the path to file or click Browse to locate it. Click Open.
4 To make the logo clickable hyperlink that refers users to your
corporate web site, type the desired URL into the Enter new URL for logo
box.
5 Click OK to submit.
When you wish to restore the default Plesk logo, click the Default Logo button.
Adding and Removing Custom Hyperlink Buttons
To add a custom hyperlink button to your Plesk control panel and specify whether
your customers will see it in their control panels:
1 Go to Server > Custom Buttons and click Add New Button.
2 Specify properties of the button:
Type the text that will show on your button in the Button label box.
Choose the location for your button. To place it in the navigation pane, select
the Navigation pane option from the Location drop-down box. To place it on each
client's home page or desktop, select the Client home page option. To place it on
each domain owner's home page or desktop (domain owners are your reseller's
customers), select the Domain administration page option.
Specify the priority of the button. Plesk will arrange your custom buttons on the
control panel in accordance with the priority you define: the lower the number –
the higher is priority. Buttons are placed in the left-to-right order.
To use an image for a button background, type the path to its location or click
Browse to browse for the desired file. 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 check boxes, specify whether to include the information, such as
domain name, FTP login, FTP password and other data to be transferred within
the URL. These data can be used for processing by external web applications.
