Adding Links to Magento Menu Bar

26 July 2009 2 Comments

Look for the top.phtml corresponding to your menu.

You can find the top.phtml files using SSH shell with this command.

Come to the app/ folder
find -name top.phtml

./design/frontend/default/iphone/template/catalog/navigation/top.phtml
./design/frontend/default/default/template/catalog/navigation/top.phtml
./design/frontend/default/blank/template/catalog/navigation/top.phtml
./design/frontend/default/modern/template/catalog/navigation/top.phtml

From above you should be able to locate your themes top.phtml

now edit the top.phtml

nano design/frontend/default/modern/template/catalog/navigation/top.phtml

<ul id=”nav”>
<li><a href=”<?php echo $this->getUrl(”)?>”><?php echo $this->__(’Home’) ?></a></li>

<?php foreach ($this->getStoreCategories() as $_category): ?>
<?php echo $this->drawItem($_category) ?>
<?php endforeach ?>

<li><a href=”<?php echo $this->getUrl(’about-magento-demo-store’)?>”><?php echo $this->__(’About Us’) ?></a></li>

</ul>

I have added two links “Home” and “About Us” in the above code (colored yellow)
