Menu items are store in the data set tables. These are flexible framework to store data.

The best way to do this with creation of extension and use of Developer Tools https://github.com/abantecart/developer_tools_extension

There are 2 ways to add admin menu item:

1. PHP API functions (easier)
Make sure you put this code in controller of admin section for one time run.

Code Select Expand


$menu = new AMenu ( "admin" );
$menu->insertMenuItem ( array (  "item_id" => "unique_name",
"parent_id"=>"sale",
"item_text" => "text_unique_name",
"item_url" => "extension/unique_name",
"item_type"=>"core",
"sort_order"=>"6")
);

$data = array('language_id' => 0,
'section' => 1,
'block' => 'common/header',
'language_key' => 'text_unique_name',
'language_value' => 'Menu Name');

$this->loader->model('localisation/language_definitions');
$model = $this->registry->get('model_localisation_language_definitions');
$model->addLanguageDefinition();



NOTE:
item_text - This is text entry that need to be present in language. Can be added to XML, but will not be automatically loaded is site is already live

item_url - This can be rt (route) or full URL for external links. 

2. Direct database insert ( more advanced )
Here you need to add new unique dataset_column_id and row_id
