README

Hide unwanted links from the customer My Account sidebar in Magento without editing templates or layout XML. Pure admin config, zero frontend assets, Hyvä-safe by design.

Commercial eTechFlow module. Per-domain HMAC license or eTechFlow bundle key activates the module on your production host. Dev / staging / *.magento.cloud / localhost etc. auto-detect and bypass licensing.

What it does

Two modes:

Mode	Behaviour
Hide selected links	Every link picked is hidden from the customer sidebar; the rest stays visible.
Show only selected links	Only the picked links remain; everything else is hidden.

Standard Magento + Adobe Commerce link names are in the multi-select. For third-party extension links, use the Extra block names textarea — list any layout block name and the module manages it.

Features

Inverse mode (show only the picked ones)	✓
Configure entirely from admin — zero coding	✓
Works on Magento Open Source + Adobe Commerce + Hyvä	✓

Installation

# Option A — Composer
composer require etechflow/module-account-links-manager:^1.0
bin/magento module:enable ETechFlow_AccountLinksManager
bin/magento setup:upgrade
bin/magento setup:di:compile      # production mode only
bin/magento cache:flush

Configuration

Admin → Stores → Configuration → eTechFlow → Customer Dashboard Links Manager

Field	Description
License → Production Environment	Yes for live sites, No for dev/staging on non-standard domains.
License → License Key	Paste your per-domain key (or bundle key under any eTechFlow module).
General → Enable Module	Master switch — turns the filtering on/off without uninstalling.
General → Action	Hide selected / Show only selected.
General → Links	Multi-select of standard Magento + Adobe Commerce links.
General → Extra block names	Newline-separated block names for third-party extension links.

Per-store-view configuration is supported.

Smoke test

bin/magento etechflow:alm:verify

Should print ✅ ALL CHECKS PASSED. v1.0.0 verified.

How it works

The module registers a plugin on Magento\Framework\View\Element\Html\Links::beforeToHtml() (frontend-scoped DI). When the customer-account navigation block is about to render:

1. Check the module is enabled + licensed.
2. Read the configured action mode + managed block-name list.
3. For each child link block, decide if it should be removed (based on mode).
4. Remove via Layout::unsetChild() — the same mechanism <referenceBlock remove="true"/> uses in layout XML.

Result: the link never renders. No HTML rewriting, no CSS hiding.

Why Hyvä-safe

Hyvä replaces storefront templates and JS but keeps the PHP block classes. The customer-account navigation is still rendered by a class extending Magento\Framework\View\Element\Html\Links. Our plugin hooks the parent class and guards by getNameInLayout() === 'customer_account_navigation' — works on every theme, doesn't touch footer or other Links blocks.

The module ships zero frontend assets: no JS, no CSS, no .phtml overrides. Nothing for Hyvä to clash with.

Uninstall

bin/magento module:disable ETechFlow_AccountLinksManager
bin/magento cache:flush

# Composer:
composer remove etechflow/module-account-links-manager
# Manual:
rm -rf app/code/ETechFlow/AccountLinksManager
bin/magento setup:upgrade
bin/magento cache:flush

Optional cleanup of leftover config entries:

DELETE FROM core_config_data WHERE path LIKE 'etechflow_accountlinks/%';
