adding custom page's link in homepage in opencart

I am new in opencart, and I am trying to build a new eCommerce site using opencart where I need to add some custom static page ( some additional page ). So I follow the link New Page For OpenCart and opencart php custom page without using the "information" feature, and I can create a new custom page. But my problem is, how can I get this page's link on my home and others page so that people view my page.

Creating your link would depend greatly on how the page has been created, and where it's located.

Urls are built based on the location ie: route of your controller.

Let's say your new page has been built in:

catalog/controller/common/mypage.php

Obviously you'll need to follow the code standards listed in the posts you referenced for created a correct class that extends the Controller, a language file, a model class (if your page needs to interact with the database) and a view file.

Once all that is correct via the previous posts you can create a link anywhere on the catalog (front) by calling the url class and passing in the required information.

You'll need to pass in a route, any arguments such as an id or customer, and whether the url should be secure.

$link = $this->url->link('common/mypage', 'mypage_id=' . $this->request->get['mypage_id'], 'SSL');

$arguments and 'SSL' being optional if they're needed.

If you are creating a new page that way, you will be to access the page (called "newpage" for example) at: /index.php?route=common/newpage or /index.php?route=common/home/newpage depending how you set it up.

The simplest way of creating a new page is to create a new information page. You can input your custom html there if needs be. The link would then look like:

/index.php?route=information/information&information_id=x where the id is the id of your new page.

To add this link into your main menu you can edit template/common/header.tpl and hardcode in the new link.
