Adding link to the User Account sidebar menu using JavaScript

There might be a situation in which you want to add custom links to the sidebar menu of your user account pages. This can be done fairly easily with JavaScript.

• Log into your Store and navigate to "System → Modules → Custom Tags"
• Click on New button on top right

• Set the Position to "Footer - directly after </body> and before </html>"
• Set Page Type to "User Page"
• Add your code and click on Save

You can use this code as a template:

<script> 
$(document).ready(function(){ $('.my-account-sidebar ul').append('<li class="custom_link">
<a href="{YOUR URL HERE}">{MENU LINK TITLE}
</a></li>'); }); 
</script>

• Update the {YOUR URL HERE} with the URL to the page you want to link to.
• Change the {MENU LINK TITLE} to the text you want for this menu item.

Press the "Update" button in the top-right of the page to save your changes once done.
