Is it possible to add custom notifications on the task notification bar in Plesk

Question

Is it possible to add custom notifications on the task notification bar?

Answer

This feature is yet to be implemented in Plesk. Take part in our product improvement and vote for the related feature request at Plesk UserVoice.

Top voted features are likely to be implemented in next product releases.

As a workaround, it’s possible to use legacy extension Broadcast Message which allows a message on each Plesk page visible to all users (the Plesk administrator, customers, and resellers):

Broadcast Message extension

Download the extension.
Log into Plesk.
Go to Plesk > Extensions > Extensions Catalog, find the Panel.ini Editor extension, and press the Install button.
After the end of the installation, press the Open button and click on the Editor tab.
Add the following rows to the end of the opened file:
```
[ext-catalog]
extensionUpload = true
```
and press the Save button.
Upload the extension on Plesk > Extensions > My Extensions > Upload Extension.

Additional Information

It is possible to manipulate the notifications in Broadcast Message extension via CLI with the following commands:

Enable or disable the notifications:

# plesk db “update ModuleSettings set value = 1 where name = ‘enable’ and module_id in (select id from Modules where name = ‘broadcast-message’)” — turn notifications on

# plesk db “update ModuleSettings set value = 0 where name = ‘enable’ and module_id in (select id from Modules where name = ‘broadcast-message’)” — turn notifications off

Edit the notification text:

# plesk db “update ModuleSettings set value = ‘<new message>’ where name = ‘message’ and module_id in (select id from Modules where name = ‘broadcast-message’)”
