Chapter 2. User Interface

Only Administrator can add modules in the system. Modules can be managed on the Modules page. Here is displayed the list of all modules installed in this Plesk system. The Manage Modules icon will take you to the page where you can add, view or remove a module or several modules.

Names of the list elements and their number concur with the modules buttons, i.e. one button and one list element corresponds to one module. You can add a module in Plesk with the help of the Add Module icon. It provides access to the form of uploading the file with the source code of the module. The module distributive file represents either an RPM package for RPM-based Plesk, or a self-extracting shell script for Standard Plesk. Packages with modules can be provided with a digital signature. A module can be removed in a standard way by selecting it in the list and further clicking the Remove Selected button.

It should also be noted that modules can be installed not only from a control panel but also from a command line. At that, the registration of a module (i.e. the record about the installed module in the Plesk database) should be performed by an installation script.

The content of a module page is fully determined by a module itself.

You should not forget that if you change a Plesk skin, this will not effect the appearance of the module pages.
