Remove navigation links from My Account

I am running Mage 1.5.0.1 and I am trying to remove the navigation links from the My Account section.

My local.xml has the following which works fine:

 <customer_account>
    <reference name="root">
        <action method="setTemplate"><template>page/staticpage.phtml</template></action>
    </reference>
   <reference name="left">
        <remove name="cart_sidebar" /> 
        <remove name="catalog.compare.sidebar" />   
    </reference>
 </customer_account>

When I try to add the following code the system throws and error:

   <reference name="customer_account_navigation">
    <action method="removeLinkByName"><name>recurring_profiles</name></action>
    <action method="removeLinkByName">&l开发者_JAVA百科t;name>billing_agreements</name></action>
</reference>

Error

Invalid method Mage_Customer_Block_Account_Navigation::removeLinkByName

I saw this function in 1.4, is it not supported anymore or am I doing something wrong?

I had a similar problem, and I didn't want to comment out addLink node because we want to implement our changes in local.xml only. Ended up writing a small module to do it:

app\etc\modules\Stackoverflow_Customerlinks.xml:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<config>
    <modules>
        <Stackoverflow_Customerlinks>
            <active>true</active>
            <codePool>local</codePool>
        </Stackoverflow_Customerlinks>
    </modules>
</config>

app\code\local\Stackoverflow\Customerlinks\Block\Account\Navigation.php:

<?php

class Stackoverflow_Customerlinks_Block_Account_Navigation extends Mage_Customer_Block_Account_Navigation {

    public function removeLinkByName($name) {
        unset($this->_links[$name]);
    }

}

app\code\local\Stackoverflow\Customerlinks\etc\config.xml:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<config>
    <global>
        <blocks>
            <customer>
                <rewrite>
                    <account_navigation>Stackoverflow_Customerlinks_Block_Account_Navigation</account_navigation>
                </rewrite>
            </customer>
        </blocks>
    </global>
</config>

After that, you can simply make the changes through local.xml:

<customer_account>
    <reference name="customer_account_navigation">
        <action method="removeLinkByName"><name>recurring_profiles</name></action>
        <action method="removeLinkByName"><name>billing_agreements</name></action>
    </reference>
</customer_account>

Have fun :)

By default, we don't have such method as "removeLink". Therefore, the trick is to remove the whole block using "unsetChild" approach and add the needed links block back with our own links added to it in local.xml

<customer_account translate="label">
        <reference name="left">
            <!--Unset the whole block then add back later-->
            <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>
                <action method="addLink" translate="label" module="customer"><name>address_book</name><path>customer/address/</path><label>Address Book</label></action>
                <action method="addLink" translate="label" module="sales"><name>orders</name><path>sales/order/history/</path><label>My Orders</label></action>
                <action method="addLink" translate="label" module="review"><name>reviews</name><path>review/customer</path><label>My Product Reviews</label></action>
                <action method="addLink" translate="label" module="wishlist" ifconfig="wishlist/general/active"><name>wishlist</name><path>wishlist/</path><label>My Favorite</label></action>
                <action method="addLink" translate="label" module="newsletter"><name>newsletter</name><path>newsletter/manage/</path><label>Newsletter Subscriptions</label></action>
            </block>
            <remove name="catalog.compare.sidebar"/>
        </reference>
    </customer_account>

Just to inform you guys about all the links in the navigation menu. To remove all links in local.xml:

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<layout version="0.1.0">
    <customer_account>
        <reference name="customer_account_navigation" >
                <!-- remove the link using your custom method -->
                <action method="removeLinkByName"><name>recurring_profiles</name></action>
                <action method="removeLinkByName"><name>billing_agreements</name></action>
                <action method="removeLinkByName"><name>reviews</name></action>
                <action method="removeLinkByName"><name>downloadable_products</name></action>
                <action method="removeLinkByName"><name>OAuth Customer Tokens</name></action>

                <action method="removeLinkByName"><name>account</name></action>
                <action method="removeLinkByName"><name>account_edit</name></action>
                <action method="removeLinkByName"><name>address_book</name></action>
                <action method="removeLinkByName"><name>orders</name></action>
                <action method="removeLinkByName"><name>tags</name></action>
                <action method="removeLinkByName"><name>wishlist</name></action>
                <action method="removeLinkByName"><name>newsletter</name></action>

        </reference>
    </customer_account>
</layout>

Thanks for your answer Daniel Sloof

You can use that:

    <customer_account>
        <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>
     </customer_account>

Rewriting is not solution...

I just refactored account dashboard links and removed CSS nth-child selectors as I had before and instead changed app/design/frontend/default/your_theme/template/customer/account/navigation.phtml to this

<div class="block block-account">
<div class="block-title">
    <strong><span><?php echo $this->__('My Account'); ?></span></strong>
</div>
<div class="block-content">
    <ul>
        <?php $_links = $this->getLinks(); ?>
        <?php $_index = 1; ?>


            <?php $_count = count($_links); 
                unset($_links['recurring_profiles']); 
                unset($_links['billing_agreements']); 
                unset($_links['reviews']);
                unset($_links['tags']);
                unset($_links['OAuth Customer Tokens']);
                unset($_links['downloadable_products']); 
            ?>


        <?php foreach ($_links as $_link): ?>
            <?php $_last = ($_index++ >= $_count); ?>
            <?php if ($this->isActive($_link)): ?>
                <li class="current<?php echo ($_last ? ' last' : '') ?>"><strong><?php echo $_link->getLabel() ?></strong></li>
            <?php else: ?>
                <li<?php echo ($_last ? ' class="last"' : '') ?>><a href="<?php echo $_link->getUrl() ?>"><?php echo $_link->getLabel() ?></a></li>
            <?php endif; ?>
        <?php endforeach; ?>
    </ul>
</div>

basically unset any unwanted links.

There are other various xml file that refer to <reference name="customer_account_navigation"> where you can copy the xml file to your layout directory and comment out the addLink node other than that, I see a removeLinkByUrl that you might try instead.

You can also, override declaration by empty link - without define 'path' and 'label', direcly in local.xml:

<customer_account>
    <reference name="customer_account_navigation">
        <action method="addLink"><name>tags</name></action>
        <action method="addLink"><name>newsletter</name></action>
    </reference>
</customer_account>

Go to app/design/frontend/YourPackageName/YourThemeName/layout/, create a sales/ directory if there isn't one, and create an empty file or directory named billing_agreement.xml and recurring_profile.xml.

Cleanest method ever, no custom functions, no CSS hacking, no logic in template files.

This completely hides the Billing Agreements and Recurring Profiles features from the user.

This module makes functionality ordering or show the links of my own, does not make for layout and phtml overwrites the block and makes all the logic there.

http://www.magentocommerce.com/magento-connect/customer-navigation.html

• The cleanest solution would be to make an overwrite of the box and add a method to remove links from layout.

My Account Navigation links comes from customer.xml file.

            <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>

My apperoach is to bring power of css and avoid hevy code modifications.

E.G.

/* CUSTOMER ACCOUNT LEFT NAV DISABLER */
.block-content li:nth-child(4),
.block-content li:nth-child(5),
.block-content li:nth-child(6),
.block-content li:nth-child(8){display: none;}

Obviously change selectors to your themes customer navigation li, and use li:nth-child() sudo with number between parenthesis which you want to remove. Use comments in customer.xml as well just in case u don't forget what you did 6 month down the line.
