Thanks, couldn’t quite get those darn links removed with the other solutions. This one finally seemed to work.

Hi,
pay attention when you specify a “false” value: leave the tag empty (ie: ) or use 0 as false (ie: 0) otherwise you won’t get what you expect.

Thank you for your help.
Sincerely, Alessandro

@Yasmine - The code goes in a local.xml file. To learn about where to put the local.xml file, take a look at our blog post here. Thanks!

@ehansen,
Thanks for the tip. I’ll give that a shot and see how it goes.

@Brandon – The simplest solution for making changes like that is to use the Translate Inline tool. You can turn on this tool on the System > Configuration > Developer page.

New to Magento development here. Is there an easy way to edit the text of My WishList and My Account this way? I want to edit My Wishlist to simply say “Wishlist”. I would like to edit My Account to say “Sign In” (only when a user isn’t currently signed in).

Another option - you can copy the removeLinkByUrl method in app/code/core/Mage/Page/Block/Template/Links.php and paste it in a custom module that extends the Mage_Customer_Block_Account_Navigation class in app/code/core/Mage/Customer/Block/Account/Navigation.php. If you're going to go that far, you might as well add a custom helper to get the tag and review path with your baseUrl. Check out this comment.

@kkirchner,

I knew abou the easy way, but I was just wondering if it could be done the other way round Thanks for your time!

@Vier,

Both Tags and Reviews are Magento core modules which you can disable in the admin. Once you disable them, the links will no longer show up on your customer account list of links.

Under System > Configuration > Advanced (bottom of left sidebar) > Disable Module Output. Select Disabled for Mage_Review and Mage_Tag.

Sorry for the amount of spam, the code and pre tags didn’t work for me

Hi, I’m trying to edit the customer_account_navigation block to remove the My Tags and My Product Reviews links but I can’t make it. This is what I’ve tried so far in local.xml:

Also,

tagstag/customer/My Tags
tags
http://www.localhost.com/magento/index.php/tag/customer/
tagstag/customer/

Do you have any ideas? Thanks for the help!

@James Wyson – Thank you for catching that error. I’ve properly closed the beforeText tag.

Also, the log in link only shows when the user is logged out. And conversely, the log out link only shows when the user is logged in. So you have to wrap the remove login link in the customer_logged_out tag and the remove logout link in the customer_logged_in tag. The code shown above for local.xml is correct.

@James Wyson – Can you wrap your code examples in pre tags? See the example code above the comment box for details.

Also, kindly change the local.xml posted above to remove the log out url when the customer is logged out and to remove the log in url when the customer is logged in.

There is an error in the local.xml posted. The beforeText tag was not properly closed.

Kindly change to:

@Jerry – I tested the logged in and logged out on 1.4 with the blank theme and it worked for me… double check and make sure they’re after the tag.

Wow, Russ! That looks great. I’m definitely going to check this out – that could be super helpful!
