How to create a footer link in custom theme and how to set path to that link ?

I have created custom feedback module which contains form for feedback.

Now I need to set link in custom theme and want to set path for the link.

The path should refer from my feedback module** Please help me

=> Custom Module:layout file

<page xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" layout="1column" xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation="urn:magento:framework:View/Layout/etc/page_configuration.xsd">
    <head>
        <title>
            Sample
        </title>
    </head>
    <body>
       <referenceContainer name="footer">
            <block class="Magento\Framework\View\Element\Template" template="X_Y::form.phtml"/>
        </referenceContainer>

    </body>
</page>

form.phtml

<div>
    <a id="feedback">Feedback</a>
.....
....
....
</div>

While clicking link it will show a popup. So here I have mentioned id, Now I have declared my link in custom theme, But How do I specify this id in link

  • You need to add footer links so you must need to add in custom theme. In custom module, layout file used for your controller action. Do not remove that file from custom module.

app/design/frontend/CustomName/customtheme/Magento_Theme/layout :

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<page layout="3columns" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation="urn:magento:framework:View/Layout/etc/page_configuration.xsd">
<update handle="default_head_blocks"/>
<body>

<referenceBlock name="footer_links">
<block class="Magento\Framework\View\Element\Html\Link\Current" name="custom-page">
<arguments>
<argument name="label" xsi:type="string">Title of your page</argument>
<argument name="path" xsi:type="string">url-key-of-your-page</argument>
</arguments>
</block>
</referenceBlock>

</body>
</page>

Create your default.xml on this above path and try it. It will works.

To add new links to footer links, use this code in <Vendor>\theme>\Magento_Theme\layout\default.xml

<referenceBlock name="footer_links">
    <block class="Magento\Framework\View\Element\Html\Link\Current" name="your-link-name">
        <arguments>
            <argument name="label" xsi:type="string">Title</argument>
            <argument name="path" xsi:type="string">path-of-your-page</argument>
        </arguments>
    </block>
</referenceBlock>

  • No. Then you can add it in your custom module. In this case no need to use custom theme.
