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 site and navigate to "System → Modules → Custom Tags". Add a new tag, with the position of "Footer", and the page type "User Page".

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.
