I want to remove the product_options_wrapper block from the product view page according to the logedin user via frontend router controller.
I know that I can programmatically append a new block but I didn't find a remove function. :-(
Tried sth. like that
$this->getLayout()->unsetBlock('product_options_wrapper');
$this->getLayout()->getBlock('product.info')->remove('product_options_wrapper');
But nothing works.
The OP code should work, if it used the correct block name, which is product.info.options.wrapper, as opposed to the block alias.
$this->loadLayout();
//e.g.
if (Mage::getSingleton('customer/session')->getCustomerGroupId() == [id]){
$this->getLayout()->unsetBlock('product.info.options.wrapper');
}
$this->renderLayout();
