Overview

cPanel & WHM can send alerts to users for various reasons (for example, when someone changes their account settings or an account approaches a quota). You can select the notifications that an account receives with the following interfaces:

  • cPanel’s Contact Information interface (cPanel » Home » Preferences » Contact Information).

  • The Notifications section of WHM’s Tweak Settings interface (WHM » Home » Server Configuration » Tweak Settings).

  • WHM’s Contact Manager interface (WHM » Home » Server Contacts » Contact Manager).

The notifications use Template Toolkit templates that hosting providers can customize. For example, you can add your logo to a notification, or include a link to your support website. This document explains which notification templates exist and how to customize them.

Available notification templates

cPanel & WHM stores the templates in subdirectories under the /usr/local/cpanel/etc/icontact_templates/ directory. Each subdirectory’s name represents the module that triggers the alert.

Warning:

The system will overwrite any changes that you make to the templates in this directory. For more information about the custom templates directory, read the Customize a template section below.

These templates use the notification_name.type.tmpl naming convention, where notification_name represents the name of the notification that triggers the alert and type represents the type of template.

Notification types

Notification templates use the following types:

  • subject — Subject line template, which allows you to configure the subject line of the message.
  • html or text — Message body template, which allows you to configure the body of the message.
  • html — HTML version.
  • text — Plaintext version.
  • If the text template does not exist, the system will derive the text template from the HTML template.
Note:

Additional WP Toolkit notification templates may be available based on third-party installations. For more information, read Plesk’s WP Toolkit documentation.

Additional templates and resources

The system includes the following subdirectories:

  • include — This directory contains several useful template snippets and icons in .png file format that you may wish to use in your templates.
  • wrapper — The main notification template wrapper. This wrapper standardizes the format of each notification and it includes the header, body, and footer in the message. The standard footer contains links that allow the user to disable or change the importance of that type of notification.

If you plan to customize any templates, you must copy these two directories to the /var/cpanel/templates/icontact_templates/ custom templates directory.

Available variables

Notification templates use two kinds of variables: CPANEL and NOTICE.

CPANEL variables

All of the notification templates can use the following CPANEL variables:

  • locale (object) — If the system directs this notification at a user, this variable returns the user’s locale. Otherwise, the variable returns the server’s locale.
  • split_time_dhms (function) — This function converts a number of seconds into a four-member array that indicates days, hours, minutes, and seconds. Use this function to transform system times to human-readable times.

NOTICE variables

Each template lists its allowed NOTICE variables and their descriptions in the header comments.

For example, [% NOTICE.ip_address %] displays the IP address of a request.

Customize a template

To customize a template, copy the desired template from the /usr/local/cpanel/etc/icontact_templates/ directory to the /var/cpanel/templates/icontact_templates/ custom templates directory, and make your changes to the copy.

The system uses templates in the custom templates directory before it uses templates from the original directory.

Warning:

You must store both of the following files in the /var/cpanel/templates/icontact_templates/ directory:

  • The customized wrapper template.
  • The notification template that the wrapper customizes.

Example

Note:

The following example demonstrates how to add the Example Hosting, Inc. company name to the subject line of account creation notifications.

To customize a template, perform the following steps:

  1. Log in to the server via SSH as the root user.
  2. If this is your first template customization, run the following command to make the custom templates directory and copy the files in the include and wrapper directories to the custom templates directory:
    mkdir /var/cpanel/templates/icontact_templates && cp -rpl /usr/local/cpanel/etc/icontact_templates/{include,wrapper} /var/cpanel/templates/icontact_templates
  3. Copy the /usr/local/cpanel/etc/icontact_templates/wwwacct/Notify.subject.tmpl file to the /var/cpanel/templates/icontact_templates/wwwacct/Notify.subject.tmpl file.
  4. Open the /var/cpanel/templates/icontact_templates/wwwacct/Notify.subject.tmpl file in a text editor and locate the following entry:
    1
    2
    3
    
    [%-
     CPANEL.locale.maketext(‘New account on [_1] ([_2])’, NOTICE.host_server,NOTICE.domain);
    -%]
  5. Edit the entry from step 4 in the Notify.subject.tmpl file to appear similar to the following example:
    1
    2
    3
    
    [%-
     CPANEL.locale.maketext(‘Example Hosting, Inc.: New account on [_1] ([_2])’, NOTICE.host_server,NOTICE.domain);
    -%]
  6. Run the following command to rebuild the files:
    /usr/local/cpanel/bin/rebuild-templates
