Dear Dhiren,
Your article is very useful for me to understand and create a customised menu in magento. I have another request from customer, they hope create menu with header which is similar with magento stores menu:
Settings
All Stores
Configuration
Terms and Conditions
Order Status
then we can add our customised menu items under the header. Is there any way to implement it?
Many thanks!
