Using navbar hook code to place url link inside clientarea template?

[paperweight]

I have a custom hook to add an item to my menu:

add_hook('ClientAreaPrimaryNavbar', 1, function (MenuItem $primaryNavbar) {
       $data=Capsule::table('tblhosting')->where('userid',$_SESSION['uid'])->where('domainstatus','Active')->first();
       if($data){
           $secondaryNavbar = Menu::secondaryNavbar();
           $contactUsLink = $secondaryNavbar->getChild('Account');
           $contactUsLink->addChild('map', array(
               'label' => Lang::trans('myserver_productdetailschange'),
               'uri' => 'clientarea.php?action=productdetails&id='.$data->id.'',
               'order' => 10,
           ));
       }
});

 

I want to add a url link on the clientarea.php page to that same url link in the menu. I am uncertain how to unpackage the navbar hook code above to place new code inside clientarea.php. Is there an easy and fast method?

 

Thank you~

Take a look at panels, it's probably what you're looking for

Thanks for your help, but I'm not using panels for this. Instead I just want to output a link like this

<a href="uri">label</a>

that will be outside the panel structure (I'm pasting it above the beginning of the panels on its own. Any ideas?

don't you just need to create a hook that passes the $id value back to the template as a Smarty variable?

 

you know the URI is going to be 'clientarea.php?action=productdetails&id=XX' - where XX is the $id value from your query.
