Magento - How to add/remove links on my account navigation?

Question

I am trying to remove links on my account navigation. I looked at the customer/account/navigation.phtml template. The template grabs links by $this->getLinks(). How do I edi

Answer 1

The answer to your question is ultimately, it depends. The links in that navigation are added via different layout XML files. Here's the code that first defines the block in layout/customer.xml. Notice that it also defines some links to add to the menu:

<block type="customer/account_navigation" name="customer_account_navigation" before="-" template="customer/account/navigation.phtml">
    <action method="addLink" translate="label" module="customer"><name>account</name><path>customer/account/</path><label>Account Dashboard</label></action>
    <action method="addLink" translate="label" module="customer"><name>account_edit</name><path>customer/account/edit/</path><label>Account Information</label></action>
    <action method="addLink" translate="label" module="customer"><name>address_book</name><path>customer/address/</path><label>Address Book</label></action>
</block>

Other menu items are defined in other layout files. For example, the Reviews module uses layout/review.xml to define its layout, and contains the following:

<customer_account>
    <!-- Mage_Review -->
    <reference name="customer_account_navigation">
        <action method="addLink" translate="label" module="review"><name>reviews</name><path>review/customer</path><label>My Product Reviews</label></action>
    </reference>
</customer_account>

To remove this link, just comment out or remove the <action method=...> tag and the menu item will disappear. If you want to find all menu items at once, use your favorite file search and find any instances of name="customer_account_navigation", which is the handle that Magento uses for that navigation block.

Answer 2

You can also use this free plug-and-play extension:

http://www.magentocommerce.com/magento-connect/manage-customer-account-menu.html

This extension does not touch any of the Magento core files.

With this extension you are able to:

1. Decide per menu item to show or hide it with one click in the Magento backend.
2. Rename menu items easily.

Answer 3

Open navigation.phtml

app/design/frontend/yourtheme/default/template/customer/account/navigation.phtml

replace

<?php $_links = $this->getLinks(); ?>

with unset link which you want to remove

<?php 
$_count = count($_links);
unset($_links['account']); // Account Information     
unset($_links['account_edit']); // Account Information  
unset($_links['address_book']); // Address Book
unset($_links['orders']); // My Orders
unset($_links['billing_agreements']); // Billing Agreements
unset($_links['recurring_profiles']); // Recurring Profiles
unset($_links['reviews']);  // My Product Reviews
unset($_links['wishlist']); // My Wishlist
unset($_links['OAuth Customer Tokens']); // My Applications
unset($_links['newsletter']); // Newsletter Subscriptions
unset($_links['downloadable_products']); // My Downloadable Products
unset($_links['tags']); // My Tags
unset($_links['invitations']); // My Invitations
unset($_links['enterprise_customerbalance']); // Store Credit
unset($_links['enterprise_reward']); // Reward Points
unset($_links['giftregistry']); // Gift Registry
unset($_links['enterprise_giftcardaccount']); // Gift Card Link
?>

Answer 4

You can also disable the menu items through the backend, without having to touch any code. Go into:

System > Configuration > Advanced

You'll be presented with a long list of options. Here are some of the key modules to set to 'Disabled' :

Mage_Downloadable -> My Downloadable Products
Mage_Newsletter -> My Newsletter
Mage_Review -> My Reviews
Mage_Tag -> My Tags
Mage_Wishlist -> My Wishlist

I also disabled Mage_Poll, as it has a tendency to show up in other page templates and can be annoying if you're not using it.

Answer 5

My solution was to completely remove the block in local.xml and create it with the blocks I needed, so, for example

<customer_account>
        <reference name="left">
            <action method="unsetChild">
                <name>customer_account_navigation</name>
            </action>
            <block type="customer/account_navigation" name="customer_account_navigation" before="-" template="customer/account/navigation.phtml">
                <action method="addLink" translate="label" module="customer">
                    <name>account</name>
                    <path>customer/account/</path>
                    <label>Account Dashboard</label>
                </action>
                <action method="addLink" translate="label" module="customer">
                    <name>account_edit</name>
                    <path>customer/account/edit/</path>
                    <label>Account Information</label>
                </action>
        </block>
    </reference>
</customer_account>

Step 1: Go To ( YourTemplate/customer/account/navigation.phtml )

<?php $_count = count($_links); /* Add or Remove Account Left Navigation Links Here -*/
unset($_links['account']); /* Account Info */     
unset($_links['account_edit']); /* Account Info */            
unset($_links['tags']); /* My Tags */
unset($_links['invitations']); /* My Invitations */
unset($_links['reviews']);  /* Reviews */
unset($_links['wishlist']); /* Wishlist */
unset($_links['newsletter']); /* Newsletter */
unset($_links['orders']); /* My Orders */
unset($_links['address_book']); /* Address */
unset($_links['enterprise_customerbalance']); /* Store Credit */
unset($_links['OAuth Customer Tokens']); /* My Applications */
unset($_links['enterprise_reward']); /* Reward Points */
unset($_links['giftregistry']); /* Gift Registry */
unset($_links['downloadable_products']); /* My Downloadable Products */
