I have added the custom tab on the customer dashboard using the code:

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<page xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation="urn:magento:framework:View/Layout/etc/page_configuration.xsd">
    <body>
        <referenceBlock name="customer_account_navigation">
            <!-- <update handle="customer_account_navigation"/> -->

            <block class="Magento\Framework\View\Element\Html\Link\Current" name="demo-link">
                <arguments>
                    <argument name="path" xsi:type="string">addprofile/index</argument>
                    <argument name="label" xsi:type="string">Demo Link</argument>
                </arguments>
            </block>
        </referenceBlock>
    </body>
</page>

Now what I want is I want to show this tab to only a particular customer group. As the link was added through the XML file and when I checked the navigation.phtml it is rendering all the links using

<?php echo $block->getChildHtml();?>

So I wasn't able to add some condition there.

can anyone help?

Thanks

I hope you get an idea from this, I have not tested. I have tried like remove that block programatically when customer group id is not match with our expectation, .

protected $_customersession;
public function __construct(\Magento\Customer\Model\Session $customersession)
{
  $this->_customersession=$customersession
}

public function yourMethod()
{
    if($this->_customersession->isLoggedIn())
    {
        $cgid=$customerSession->getCustomer()->getGroupId();  // get Customer Group Id
        if($cgid!="yourExpectedId")
        {
            $layout = $this->getLayout();
            $block = $layout->getBlock('demo-link'); // block name
            $layout->unsetElement('demo-link'); //remove block
        }
    }
}

  • in layout you can't find customer group for add tab, as I know the only possibilities to check from controller so you should need to apply this logic in your custom controller execute method.

  • oh you right! in your case you need to override and try this logic in app/code/Magento/Customer/Controller/Account/Index.php
