Customize Site Settings Page In SharePoint 2010

When building complex SharePoint applications we often require adding some custom administrative pages to offer various application settings. This can be done by extending site settings page (/_layouts/settings.aspx) with custom sections and links.

Steps To  Add Custom Sections and Links in Site Settings Page.

Create an Empty SharePoint project and add an Empty Element to it

Write the below code in it inside Elements tag.

<CustomActionGroup

Id="MyCustomGroup"

Title="My Custom Group"

Description="This is my custom group"

ImageUrl="_layouts/images/SiteSettings_SiteCollectionAdmin_48x48.png"

Location="Microsoft.SharePoint.SiteSettings"

RequiredAdmin="Delegated"

Sequence="1" />

<CustomAction

Id="MyFirstAdminAction"

Title="My First Admin Action"

Description="This is a short description of my first admin action."

Location="Microsoft.SharePoint.SiteSettings"

GroupId="MyCustomGroup"

Sequence="100" >

<UrlAction Url="~site/_layouts/MyAdminPage.aspx" />

</CustomAction>

 

Deploy the Solution and you can see “My Custom Group”  in Site Settings Page.
