Sidebar Link Pinning Extension (Sidebar Manager)
Last updated on Jul 10, 2026 2:22 AM
Background & Limitations
- Locked Navigations: The CyberPanel left navigation sidebar is locked by default, containing only core system features.
- Slow Navigation: Administrators and users must click through multiple submenus to access frequently used tools (e.g., SSL Manager, White Label settings).
- No External Link Support: Third-party administrative tools (like phpMyAdmin, documentations, or customer support ticketing systems) cannot be pinned to the navigation, preventing a unified workspace.
Solution
The Sidebar Manager extension provides navigation menu customizability:
A. Custom Link Group Management
- Create new sidebar menu groups (e.g., "Quick Access", "System Tools", "External Links").
- Choose the ordering position of new groups (e.g., after "Dashboard" or "Hosting").
B. Quick Link Pinning
- Pin any internal CyberPanel route or external URL.
- One-click template pinning for all active White Label extensions.
- Choose from FontAwesome icons for each shortcut.
C. Visual Sorting & State Persistence
- Drag-and-drop submenus and groups to rearrange the layout.
- Saves configuration to
/usr/local/CyberCP/whiteLabel_data/sidebar_pin_config.json, preserving layouts across system upgrades.
