To add a link to the customer navigation – edit the  <otrs>\OTRS\Kernal\Output\HTML\Standard\CustomerNavigationBar.dtl file.

You will see a section of the file with <!-- dtl:block:Item -->

 

Insert a standard HTML link after the end of the dtl:block:item (which is what builds the standard links)

Example:

<!-- dtl:block:Item -->

<td>

<a href="http://www.google.com" target="_blank" onmouseover="window.status='Preferences'; return true;" onmouseout="window.status='';" class="navitem"><img src="/otrs-web/images/Standard/GoogleG.png" alt="Preferences" border="0"><br>Google</a>

      </td>

 

You’ll also need a graphic for the button most likely so add that to the <otrs>\OTRS\var\httpd\htdocs\images\Standard folder

 

The same process applies if you are adding the link to the Admin interface, just use the AdminNavigationBar.dtl

Subject: [otrs] Add a frontend link for browsing PDF documents

 

Hi, is there a simple way to add a new icon to the frontend page which links to a page with some PDF docs. I'd like to keep those PDFs within OTRS for authentication purposes. I.e. only authorized customers with ticket reporting credentials should be able to access this page with PDF docs.

I'm using OTRS 2.4.7 BTW
