Adding a button on primarynav

ranto

Hello,
I would like to add a button in the primary nav linking to another website, is there any mean to do that without passing through a plug-in?
I'm trying to figure out a way to do that.

@ranto a plugin is the best way.

Can you give me an example of syntax that can be used?
Because I did not fully understand the sample plugin on Wiki.
Or If somebody does have already this kind of plug-in. That would be great.
Thanks a lot for your collaboration,
Regards,
ranto

@ranto Unfortunately beyond the wiki I'm not sure, I've never developed a plugin myself. You may have better luck taking a look at some of the existing plugins in the plugins directory for inspiration.

Actually I have a clue but I do not know how to insert a page inside the common_local_url.
The plugin should be like this:
function showPrimaryNav()
{
$user = common_current_user();
$this->elementStart('dl', array('id' => 'site_nav_global_primary'));
// TRANS: DT element for primary navigation menu. String is hidden in default CSS.
$this->element('dt', null, _('Primary site navigation'));
$this->elementStart('dd');
$this->elementStart('ul', array('class' => 'nav'));
if (Event::handle('StartPrimaryNav', array($this))) {
if ($user) {
// TRANS: Link to go to an external page
$tooltip = _m('TOOLTIP', 'go to mypage');
$this->menuItem(common_local_url('mypage.php'),
}
Event::handle('EndPrimaryNav', array($this));
}
$this->elementEnd('ul');
$this->elementEnd('dd');
$this->elementEnd('dl');
But now how to insert another page inside common_local_url , because statusnet does not accept other page (really weird :( )
BR,
