Page History

...

The page displays all the shortcuts that have already been created. By default, they are

• Home. Takes you to the home-page of your back-office.
• My shop. Takes you to the home-page of your shop. This is akin as clicking on the "View my shop", located at the top right of the back-office.
• New category. This special link takes you directly to the category creation form.
• New product. This special link takes you directly to the product creation page.
• New voucher. This special link takes you directly to the voucher/cart rule creation page.

...

• Name. Give the shortcut a unique name. Make it short and descriptive.
• URL. Indicate the page's address. Here is how you can use even pages with complex links as quick links:
  1. While keeping the link creation page open, go to the "Orders" page under the "Orders" menu in a new browser tab.
  2. Copy its web address from the browser's address bar. For instance, http://www.myprestashop.com/adminadmin8945/index.php?controller=AdminOrders&token=f326b0419984706791c03f7e96599147.
  3. Remove the whole &token=xxx part and keep the important specific bits (i.e., do not keep the domain and admin /admin8945 folder). In our case: index.php?controller=AdminOrders.
  4. Paste the result in the "URL" field of the creation form.
• Open in new window. Indicate whether you want to have this tab open in a new window or not. In general, link to the back-office should be kept within the same tab/window, and links leading outside of the back-office (front-office, other site altogether) should open in a new window/tab.

Note that you absolutely can create links to other websites, for instance your PayPal account or your webmail. Simply paste the complete URL in the "URL" field, including the http:// prefix.
