Magento. How to manage customer account dashboard links

This tutorial will teach you how to remove links from customer account navigation menu in Magento:

The best approach is to make a small module and remove all these links from one xml file. To do so follow the steps below.

You can use any code editor available to create/edit the files mentioned (for example Notepad ++ ), we’re using hosting cpanel.

1. Access the installation root of your site.

2. Create xml file of the module ‘Prasan_CustomerNavigationLinks.xml‘ in app/etc/modules/ with the following code in it:

   
   
   
   
   true
   local
   
   
   

3. Create the module config.xml file in app/code/local/Prasan/CustomerNavigationLinks/etc/ with the following code in it:

   
   
   
   
   0.0.1
   
   
   
   
   
   
   prasan_customernavigationlinks.xml
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   Prasan_CustomerNavigationLinks_Block_Account_Navigation
   
   
   
   
   

4. Access app/code/local/Prasan/CustomerNavigationLinks/ directory and create Block/Account/ path there. Now create there module block file ‘Navigation.php‘with the following code in it:

   _links[$name]);
   return $this;
   }
   }

5. Now create prasan_customernavigationlinks.xml file in app/design/frontend/base/default/layout/ with the following content in it:

   
   
   
   
   
   
   account 
   
   
   account_edit 
   
   
   address_book 
   
   
   orders 
   
   
   billing_agreements 
   
   
   recurring_profiles 
   
   
   reviews 
   
   
   tags 
   
   
   wishlist 
   
   
   OAuth Customer Tokens 
   
   
   newsletter 
   
   
   
   downloadable_products 
   
   
   
   

6. After you’re done, all the navigation links from customer account will be removed. To enable any link required, simply open prasan_customernavigationlinks.xml file and comment it out like this – .
