Remove navigation links from My Account

Question

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:

Answer 1

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.

Answer 2

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.

Answer 3

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.

Answer 4

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.

Answer 5

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>
