Extension Structure – meta.xml

Here is a sample meta.xml file describing an extension called “Test
extension”.

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<module>
  <id>test-extension</id>
  <name>Test extension</name>
  <description>Add description here...</description>
  <category>example</category>
  <category>help</category>
  <buy_url>http://example.com/</buy_url>
  <version>1.0</version>
  <release>1</release>
  <vendor>Plesk</vendor>
  <url>http://your-company-web-site</url>
  <support_url>http://your-company-web-site/support</support_url>
  <plesk_min_version>12.5.0</plesk_min_version>
</module>

The description of the available elements within the module node is
as follows:

• id

  The identifier of an extension. It is used as a part of the URL of
  the extension root. For example, if an extension ID is
  sample-extension, the extension is available at
  http://<plesk-host-name>:<port>/modules/sample-extension.

  • Compose the ID based on the chosen extension name (see below).
    Note that the extension ID is used as a part of its URL in the
    catalog, therefore, unique meaningful words can provide for more
    effective SEO.
  • All words must be in lower case.
  • Separate words with dashes.

• name

  The name the administrators will see in the extensions list in Plesk
  (Server Management > Extensions) after installing the
  extension.

  • Choose a name shorter than 60 characters. Preferably, 25
    characters or less, to make sure the name fits whole into a
    promotion block title on the web site.
  • The name must be in English. Other languages are recommended,…
