Magento – Top Links Only Show When Customer is Logged In

layout

I've eliminated all of my top links with the exception of:

Login

My Cart

I've done this by commenting out the appropriate sections in my themes customer.xml file.

Now what I would like to do is have the following display when the customer logs in:

My Account

Compare

Wish list

I have tried to place the layout information as follows for My Account however I haven't be able to get it to work:

  <customer_logged_in>
    <reference name="top.links">
<action method="addLink" translate="label title" module="customer"><label>Log Out</label><url helper="customer/getLogoutUrl"/><title>Log Out</title><prepare/><urlParams/><position>10</position></action>
<action method="addLink" translate="label title" module="customer"><label>My Account</label><url helper="customer/getAccountUrl"/><title>My Account</title><prepare/><urlParams/><position>10</position></action>
    </reference>
</customer_logged_in>

How can I display the customer specific links only when they are logged in?

My final xml modifications are the following:

    <customer_logged_in>
    <reference name="top.links">
        <action method="addLink" translate="label title" module="customer"><label>Log Out</label><url helper="customer/getLogoutUrl"/><title>Log Out</title><prepare/><urlParams/><position>10</position></action>
        <action method="addLink" translate="label title" module="customer"><label>My Account</label><url helper="customer/getAccountUrl"/><title>My Account</title><prepare/><urlParams/><position>10</position></action>
        <action method="addLink" translate="label title">
        <label>Compare</label>
        <url>catalog/product_compare/index/</url>
        <title>Compare</title>
        <prepare>false</prepare>
        <position>20</position>
        <target>_blank</target>
</action>
    </reference>
</customer_logged_in>

This will show only Log Out, My Account and Compare in the top links menu for customers that are logged in. When logged out only Login.

Note: I have the wishlist disabled in the admin panel.

Magento – Add Top Links on condition basis in magento

The second piece of code actually works but it does not display anything because there are no links attached to the block.
page/template/links.phtml starts with this:

<?php $_links = $this->getLinks(); ?>
<?php if(count($_links)>0): ?>

If there are no links there is nothing to display. You need to add links to your block. Something like this:

$block = Mage::app()->getLayout()->createBlock('page/template_links');
$title = $label = Mage::helper('customer')->__('My Account');
$url = Mage::helper('customer')->getAccountUrl();
$prepareUrl = false;
$urlParams = array();
$position = 10;
$liParams=null;
$aParams=null;
$beforeText=''; 
$afterText='';
$block->addLink($label, $url, $title, $prepareUrl, $urlParams, $position, $liParams, $aParams, $beforeText, $afterText);
//add more links here
echo $block->setTemplate('page/template/links.phtml')->toHtml();

Not all parameters are mandatory for the addLink method. I just added them here so you can see all the possibilities. For more info take a look at this method: Mage_Page_Block_Template_Links::addLink().

Customer Account – Remove Newsletter Link from Navigation

You need to rewrite Magento's Customer Mage_Customer_Block_Account_Navigation Block class.

create config.xml file in the app/code/local/Neo/CustomerNavigationLinks/etc

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<config>
    <modules>
        <Neo_CustomerNavigationLinks>
            <version>0.0.1</version>
        </Neo_CustomerNavigationLinks>
    </modules>
    <global>
        <blocks>
            <customer>
                <rewrite>
                    <account_navigation>Neo_CustomerNavigationLinks_Block_Account_Navigation</account_navigation>
                </rewrite>
            </customer>
        </blocks>
        <helpers>
            <customernavigationlinks>
                <class>Neo_CustomerNavigationLinks_Helper</class>
            </customernavigationlinks>
        </helpers>
    </global>
</config>

in Neo/CustomerNavigationLinks/Block/Account/ careate a file called Navigation.php with the following content in it

<?php

class Neo_CustomerNavigationLinks_Block_Account_Navigation extends Mage_Customer_Block_Account_Navigation
{
    public function removeLinkByName($name)
    {
        unset($this->_links[$name]);
        return $this;
    }
}
?>

in app/etc/modules create a file called Neo_CustomerNavigationLinks.xml with the following content

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<config>
    <modules>
        <Neo_CustomerNavigationLinks>
            <active>true</active>
            <codePool>local</codePool>
        </Neo_CustomerNavigationLinks>
    </modules>
</config>

Now in local.xml add following content

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