Magento – How do add a class to the Wishlist Link in the Top Menu

classmagento-1.7toplinkstopmenuwishlist

I want to add a class to the wishlist link in the top menu.

In my app/design/frontend/default/abcd/layout/wishlist.xml, I have a reference:

<reference name="top.links">
    <block type="wishlist/links" name="wishlist_link" />
    <action method="addLinkBlock"><blockName>wishlist_link</blockName></action>
</reference>

I know you can add a class using the addLink method as described in this answer. However the addLinkBlock method only takes one blockName argument. So how can I add a class to the wishlist link in the top menu?

I followed some suggestions from this Magento Forum post, but none of them did the trick for me, but the last one was close. Here's what I did:

Copy /app/code/core/Mage/Wishlist/Block/Links.php to /app/code/local/Mage/Wishlist/Block/Links.php
Inside the _toHtml() method, add $this->a_params = 'class="your-class"'; just before the return parent::_toHtml(); statement

First copy topmenu.phtml from

/app/design/frontend/rwd/default/template/page/html/

Save this file as topmenu.phtml to

/app/design/frontend/YOUR PACKAGE/YOUR THEME/template/page/html/

Edit this file within lines 38-40, paste the following:

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

To create:

<ol class="nav-primary">
<?php echo $this->getLayout()->createBlock('cms/block')->setBlockId('home-link')->toHtml(); ?>
<?php echo $_menu ?>
<?php echo $this->getLayout()->createBlock('cms/block')->setBlockId('post-menu-links')->toHtml(); ?>
</ol>

Save and re-upload this file.

Create a CMS > Static Block, named home-link enter the following into your block (Hide Editor, as needed):

<li class="level0 nav-1 parent"><a href='{{config path="web/unsecure/base_url"}}' title='Home Page' class='level0'>Home</a></li>

Note: I leave all of the class names consistent with 1.9. Feel free to adjust class names as needed.

Save your new Static Block.

Create a CMS > Static Block, named post-menu-links Enter the following into your block (Hide Editor, as needed):

<li class="level0 nav-1 parent"><a href="CUSTOMPATH-1.HTML" title="LINK TITLE #1" class="level0">LINKNAME #1</a></li>
<li class="level0 nav-1 parent"><a href="CUSTOMPATH-2.HTML" title="LINK TITLE #2" class="level0">LINKNAME #2</a></li>
<!--  and so on, as needed ...  -->

Save your new Static Block.
