Plug-in example: how to add a menu module

This article walks you through the steps you need to perform to add a custom module into the interface module.

Interface description

To add a new menu item, create an XML file:

  • create an xml file ispmgr_mod_menu.xml

The path must necessarily be /usr/local/mgr5/etc/xml/ and the name must be ispmgr_mod_<any name>.xml

The XML file must have read and write permissions for the root user.

touch /usr/local/mgr5/etc/xml/ispmgr_mod_menu.xml
  • add the following description to this file:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<mgrdata>
        <mainmenu level="admin+">
                <modernmenu>
                        <node name="my_group">
                                <node name="myfunc" />
                        </node>
                </modernmenu>
        </mainmenu>

        <handler name="myaddon.sh" type="xml">
                <func name="myfunc" />
        </handler>

        <lang name="ru">
                <messages name="desktop">
                        <msg name="modernmenu_my_group">New menu item</msg>
                        <msg name="modernmenu_myfunc">Test</msg>
                </messages>
        </lang>
</mgrdata>

As you can see from the file, the mainmenu tag specifies at what level the section will be visible. In the example - admin+ - super administrator level.

node_name='administrator' - the new menu item will be added to the 'Administrators' section;

node_name='my_group' - the new menu item will be added to the section created by the user;

node_name='myfunc' - declare your function. In order for the panel to start displaying our menu item, it is necessary to have a function with the corresponding name in the panel.

Adding a custom function

Add a handler for the myaddon function (already added in the ispmanager_mod_menu.xml file):

<handler name="myaddon.sh" type="xml"> 
<func name="myfunc" /> 
</handler>
  • The addon must be located in the /usr/local/mgr5/addon/ directory
  • Create myaddon.xml file in the /usr/local/mgr5/addon directory:
touch myaddon.xml

Add a plugin to the file (what will be displayed on the page of the created section, don't forget to specify the name of the function we added func="myfunc".

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<doc lang="ru" func="myfunc" binary="/ispmgr">
        <metadata name="myfunc" type="list" key="name" mgr="ispmgr">
                <toolbar view="buttontext">
                        <toolgrp name="new">

                                <toolbtn name="delete" func="webdomain.delete" type="group" img="t-delete" sprite="yes"/>ls 
                        </toolgrp>
                </toolbar>

                <coldata>
                        <col type="data" name="name" sort="alpha" convert="punycode" sorted="-1"/>

More details about plugin writing options can be found in the documentation
Please note that the provision of technical support services does not apply to self-written plugins.

Create a file myaddon.sh in the addon folder (add a handler)

touch myaddon.sh

Set permissions for the handler with the following commands:

chmod 750 /usr/local/mgr5/addon/<handler_file_name>
chown 0:0 /usr/local/mgr5/addon/<handler_file_name>
  • Add two lines to the myaddon.sh file
#!/bin/bash 
cat /usr/local/mgr5/addon/myaddon.xml

To make the panel re-read all changes, restart it with the command pkill -9 core.

When you click on the Test section (which is the name given to it in the lang block), myaddon.sh will be called, which should return a full xml with the necessary data to the panel.
