action method addLink add query string to url

Frederik Krautwald Total Posts: 56 Joined: 2007-09-25 Reykjavík, Iceland Ignore user	I have searched the forum thin and tried suggestions, but somehow I can´t find any info on how to a query string to a link using <action method="addLink"/> I have found this info for the build-up: `<action method="addLink" translate="label title" module="checkout"> <label>Checkout</label> <url>checkout</url> <title>Checkout</title> <prepare>true</prepare> <urlParams/> <position>60</position> <li/> <a>class="top-link-checkout"</a> </action>` But if I add the query string, say ?___store=default at the end of the content in the <url> tag, the html output looks like this http://mydomain.tld/checkout?___store=default/. Notice the added slash in the end prevents it from working. I then experimented with the <urlParams> tag, which also lacks total documentation and no forum posts describing the usage of it. So, I tried to add it like this: `<urlParams> <store>default</store> </urlParams>` which outputs http://mydomain.tld/checkout/index/index/store/default/. Again, tough luck!!! Does anyone know how to overcome this? Thanks! Signature Icelandic Web Design and Web hosting

With your current setup, try turning <prepare>true</prepare> to just <prepare/>, and try the URL as <url>/checkout?___store=default</url>, or what ever the extension. `<action method="addLink" translate="label title" module="checkout"> <label>Checkout</label> <url>/checkout?___store=default</url> <title>Checkout</title> <prepare/> <urlParams/> <position>60</position> <li/> <a>class="top-link-checkout"</a> </action>` I had issues with the < prepare>(true\|false)</prepare> just keep changing my URLS to relative, including http://www.domain.tld/ type urls. I found that by changing it to just < prepare /> (ignore the spaces), it solved my issue of Magento rewriting my URL’s. Let me know how that goes…

I did, somehow, get around it in the project that had issue (but can’t exactly remember what I did). Anyway, this is definitely useful information you have provided. Thank you.

I finally figured it out so if you had the same problem hopefully this will save you a good few hours. The syntax for adding in a querystring to the URL for the action XML is this: `<action method="addLink" translate="label" module="customer"><name>account_myurl</name><url>myurl</url><label>My URL</label><params><_query>filtered=user</_query></params></action>` I pretty much guessed the tags for the params bit. This is for Magento CE 1.6.1 btw.

P.S to change text just use the Label. I have no labels because I am using CSS icons.
