Magento - How to add static page link to main menu?

- Hello friends finally I find the solution for add static page link to main menu in magento CMS,

- First find the top.phtml file from this page: app/design/frontend/default/YourThemeName/template/catalog/navigation/top.phtml

- Before do any changes on this file please take copy of orignal top.phtml file,

- Below is default code of top.phtml file:

<?php $_menu = $this->renderCategoriesMenuHtml(0,'level-top') ?>

<?php if($_menu): ?>

<div class="nav-container">

    <ul id="nav">

       <?php echo $_menu ?>

    </ul>

</div>

<?php endif ?>

- You shoud modified as per below example where I add Home link:

<?php $_menu = $this->renderCategoriesMenuHtml(0,'level-top') ?>

<?php if($_menu): ?>

<div class="nav-container">

    <ul id="nav">

     <li><a href="/">Home</a><li>

     <?php echo $_menu ?>

    </ul>

</div>

<?php endif ?>

- Or you should also add and magento block shord code (In block you define static menu link in <ul><li> format):

<?php $_menu = $this->renderCategoriesMenuHtml(0,'level-top') ?>

<?php if($_menu): ?>

<div class="nav-container">

    <ul id="nav">

     <li><a href="/">Home</a><li>

     <?php echo $_menu ?>

     <?php echo $this->getLayout()->createBlock('cms/block')->setBlockId('navbar_links')->toHtml() ?>  

   </ul>

</div>

<?php endif ?>

- In above example 'navbar_links' is block identifier name.

Magento - The PDO extension is required for this adapter but the extension is not loaded.

When I upload site live from my local server and getting such kind of error that the PDO extension is required for this adapter but the extension is not loaded.

So I think that the pdo.so php extension must be required in server. And first check in php.ini file If you have access of that file.

;extension=pdo_mysql.so

Please uncomment the above line to activate it

extension=pdo_mysql.so

Save the file and restart the server.


If you have no access of the php.ini file, follow the following steps

Step 1. Please check your Magento installation directory there must me a file named as php.ini.sample.

Step 2. Now rename the file from php.ini.sample to php.ini

Step 3. Put the below code into it

extension = pdo.so
extension = pdo_sqlite.so
extension = sqlite.so
extension = pdo_mysql.so

Step 4. Now refresh your browser cache and the problem has been solved.
