The is a process for adding these kind of menu items in the backend. It generally assumes creation of an addon or change to the core schema to do so. What is going to be in this menu? Those items are NOT pages, but menu containers.

If you look at the file:

app/schemas/menu/menu.php

and then search for 'website' you will see an example of the schema you need to create.



You can either add your schema definition to this file (not recommended since it will get clobbered during an upgrade) or you can create a

app/addons/my_changes/schemas/menu/menu.post.php



As an example, here's what a menu.post.php file looks like for one of my addons that adds an “Auto Mail” menu item to the 'Customers' menu that will take the user to the user's auto_mail.manage controller

```php


/*

if( !defined('BOOTSTRAP') ) die('Access denied');
$schema['central']['customers']['items']['auto_mail'] = array(
'attrs' => array('class' => 'is-addon'),
'href' => 'auto_mail.manage',
'position' => 1100,
);
return $schema;

```

No easy to understand, do you have another more easy solution for this please?

Thank

Unfortunately not. It's just how it works. You have to have a destination for the menu and then you have to tell the system what that destination is, where you want the link and what it's to be named, etc.

If I'm not wrong, you cannot add external links or links to the store-front with this scheme

Not sure. could be restricted to only controller.mode (but guessing it just passes this value to fn_url()) in the current context (Admin/vendor). But there's certainly no reason you couldn't have for instance:

'href' => my_changes.vendor_info',

And simply have that mode redirect to /vendor_info.pdf

Right. I just wanted to say that you cannot use:



'href' => 'http://google.com',
