Prestashop add new item in Admin Panel Sidebar Menu

I have small problem on create a custom item inside Admin Panel Sidebar Menu.

Prestashop Version: 1.7.4.2

This is the currently sidebar menu in my prestashop:

Before Changes

I would like to add new item that links to external website. As I have researched I found out that, this need to be a controller in order to be placed inside there as shown here.

As example shown above, they need to create a new controller for that specific purpose. What I need is a hardcoded fixed external url address, so in the end this would be the result:

After Changes

What I did is put paint inside the jpg that I had screenshot to illustrate my point. And when they clicked the text, it will redirect to external page (not controller, etc) like http://www.google.com.

Is there a Form that I can hardcoded specific url and show it so that user can redirect when needed.

Sorry as this is only concept no php code provided, as I didn't know how to accomplish it.

Thank You.

You have two simple ways that don't needed to deep scan PrestaShop codes.

1- On your module => admin controller:

public function init()
{
    Tools::redirect('https://google.com');
}

2- on your module main php file:

-- add "back office header" hook

-- load jQuery file in this hook

-- change URL of your controller by jquery

All items that are shown in the sidebar menu have to be an AdminController class and added in the tab of PrestaShop.

Then, in your AdminController, you make the redirection:

<?php

class AdminMyModuleRedirectController extends ModuleAdminController
{
    public function init()
    {
        Tools::redirect('https://www.google.com');
    }
}

You still can manually modify the template that shows the sidebar menu, but it's not recommended.

Good luck
