I want to create a custom top link in magento 2 for my custom module, but when i load the home page, the custom top link doesn't show up, here's my view/frontend/layout/default.xml:

<?xml version="1.0"?> 
<page xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation="urn:magento:framework:View/Layout/etc/page_configuration.xsd">
<body>
     <referenceBlock name="header.links">
         <block class="Lime\Confirmation\Block\Link" name="add-new-header-link">
             <arguments>
               <argument name="label" xsi:type="string" translate="true">Confirm Payment</argument>
               <argument name="path" xsi:type="string" translate="true">confirmation</argument>
             </arguments>
         </block>
     </referenceBlock>
</body>

My Block/Link.php:

namespace Lime\Confirmation\Block;

class Link extends \Magento\Framework\View\Element\Html\Link
{
/**
* Render block HTML.
*
* @return string
*/
protected function _toHtml()
    {
     if (false != $this->getTemplate()) {
     return parent::_toHtml();
     }
     return '<li><a ' . $this->getLinkAttributes() . ' >' . $this->escapeHtml($this->getLabel()) . '</a></li>';
    }
}

The top link block name is top.links not header.links:

<?xml version="1.0"?> 
<page xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation="urn:magento:framework:View/Layout/etc/page_configuration.xsd">
    <body>
        <referenceBlock name="top.links">
            <block class="Lime\Confirmation\Block\Link" name="add-new-header-link">
                <arguments>
                    <argument name="label" xsi:type="string" translate="true">Confirm Payment</argument>
                    <argument name="path" xsi:type="string" translate="true">confirmation</argument>
                </arguments>
            </block>
        </referenceBlock>
    </body>
</page>

Note : Make sure your clear the cache after replacing the code

  • Why do you use custom block Lime\Confirmation\Block\Link while you can use magento 2 default block class of Magento\Framework\View\Element\Html\Link?

  • Have you tried using Magento\Framework\View\Element\Html\Link as your block class?
