Text Logout link Joomla 1.6

Ladies and gentlemen,
I am currently doing an alternative layout for mod_login. When the user is logged in I would prefer the log out link to be in text rather than a button. In Joomla 1.5 this was as easy as template overriding mod_login and changing the logout input button to something like this:
Code: Select all
<p>
<a href="index.php?option=com_user&task=logout&return=Lw">Log Out</a>
</p>
In Joomla 1.6 this seems to no longer work. Anyone have a new solution? Any help would be much appreciated.
-Zach

It's just the matter of styling the button in your template's css.
Use Firebug or Opera Dragonfly to find the right css

Hey!
Include the following in your link:
../index.php?option=com_users&task=user.logout
'../' is for absolute path
I found this link in '/components/com_users/views/login/tmpl/default_logout.php' - as form action.
For me, it works just fine!

The logout button is styled by this in personal.css:
Code: Select all
input.button, button.button, button.validate {
background-attachment: scroll;
background-clip: border-box;
background-color: #ffffff;
background-image: url("http://localhost/joomla/1.6/templates/beez_20/images/nature/arrow1.gif");
background-origin: padding-box;
background-position: 0% 0%;
background-repeat: no-repeat;
background-size: auto;
border-bottom-color: #dddddd;
border-bottom-style: solid;
border-bottom-width: 1px;
border-left-color: #dddddd;
border-left-style: solid;
border-left-width: 1px;
border-right-color: #dddddd;
border-right-style: solid;
border-right-width: 1px;
border-top-color: #dddddd;
border-top-style: solid;
border-top-width: 1px;
color: #444444;
}

Man I've been struggling with this for two days - hope this solution helps someone else:
Code: Select all
<a href="<?php echo JRoute::_('/index.php?option=com_users&task=user.logout&'. JUtility::getToken() .'=1'); ?>">Log Out</a>

Is there any way to get that into a menu item?

Here people, i found a solution to override the joomla token in get method:
If you are trying to write a link to logout in your template, just copy and past the following code:
<a href="index.php?option=com_users&task=user.logout&<?php echo JUtility::getToken(); ?>=1&return=<?php echo base64_encode($this->baseurl); ?>">LOGOUT</a>
Works like a charm.

No, its use the php code to get the current token, there is no way to do this in a menu item.
BUT, id did it aniway with javascript:
I create a url menu item with the class "logoutclass"
then i put that code in my template, and put a class "tpllogoutclass" in the <a> element.
then, with jquery, i did this:
$(".logoutclass").attr("href", $(".tpllogoutclass").attr("href"));
and it works, the menu item now has the link to logout.

That is very cool! However, it is not what I am looking for (but still cool).
I want to make a text link that says "login" and when the user is logged in, it says "logout."
I can do this, in a module/article, with PHP very easily. I just cannot do it in a menu item.
Anyone know how? Or if it is possible? (J 1.5)

to make a menu-item logout in Joomla 1.6 you can use the free version of
Redirect-on-Login.
In Joomla 1.5 make a menu-item type 'url' to
Code: Select all
index.php?option=com_user&task=logout
and if you want it to redirect to a specific url, base 64 encode the url and send it along like:
Code: Select all
index.php?option=com_user&task=logout&return=aW5kZXgucGh
To redirect to a specific url in Joomla 1.6 you can do something like:
Code: Select all
index.php?option=com_redirectonlogin&view=logout&return=aW5kZXgucGh
but then you got to create a 'url' menu-item instead of a 'redirect-on-login' > 'logout' menu-item.

Hi everyone!
This problem caused a headache for me too, but i found a pretty good solution. The posts here were really useful.
This is the way i created a logout link in the main menu:
1) Install the Flexi Custom Code module.
2) Create a menu item called "Logout" with a type of "Login form". It should be visible to logged in users only. (access: registered)
3) Set the Flexi Custom Code module to any visible position. At the Menu Assignment tab select only "Logout"
4) Use the following code in the module:
<?php
$loloc = "Location: index.php?option=com_users&task=user.logout&";
$loloc .= JUtility::getToken();
$loloc .= "=1&return=";
$loloc .= base64_encode(JURI::root() . "\n");
header( $loloc );
?>
If you want a login button as well you should simply add another menu item which is only visible to not logged in visitors. This will make it look like the login button changes to logout when you are logged in.

Crazy that something so easy as having a logout link on a menu has to be so hard. These basic things have to be better handled in the core. Thanks for the pointer for how to rig this up to work from a menu. Requiring a two-step logout is not good.

Thanks for posting this wwr. That works great! I hope they add this to the core, I understand the need for tokens, but in the case of logging a user out, it shouldn't be an issue.

Thanks wwr, that works. This is one hell of a workaround for something which should sure be CORE though!
This used to be a quick fix in 1.5 with the url "index.php?option=com_user&task=logout&return=Lw"

Now there's an app for that. Seems to work fine.
Quick Logout:

I created a Javascript function witch I added at the top of the component template:
<?php
$salir = JURI::base().'/index.php?option=com_users&task=user.logout&'. JUtility::getToken() .'=1';
//$salir = JRoute::_($this->baseurl.'/index.php?option=com_users&task=user.logout&'. JUtility::getToken() .'=1');
echo "<script language=\"JavaScript\">
function salir(){
location.href=\"$salir\";
self.focus();
}</script>";
?>
Then call with a external URL from the MENU:
javascript:salir();

Did anyone get this to work on >= 1.7.3?
All that Quick Logout gives me is this error message:
Code: Select all
Fatal error: Cannot redeclare BannersParseRoute() (previously declared in [site]\components\com_quicklogout\router.php:40) in [site]\components\com_banners\router.php on line 70
Strangely, this refers to banners, which I don't use at all.
EDIT: Now I tried turning off the Banner module and all banners (none of which were displayed). Quick logout works. Good first step, but I will soon need banners, so I can't leave it like that ...

Thanks for posting your error message.
I am the author of Quick Logout and will be glad to help you figure out what is happening here.
And, as you note, there is actually no code in quick logout that touches "BannersParseRoute" ... so that is a new one to me.
Send me a private message and we can work on this and try to sort it out. I'll be glad to help you fix this.

Hi jmuehleisen - were you able to resolve this issue? I am having the same problem - i.e. getting an error message similar to lausianne's when using Quick Logout with Joomla 1.7.3.

I think so.
Try the attached version of the Quick Logout ... it has what (I hope) is the fix to this particular bug.
Actually, lausianne gave me the clue I needed, and I think this version should work better when banners are in use.
Give it a try and let me know how it goes. You should be able to install it right on top of the previous version.

I'm using this link for Joomla 2.5:
href="index.php?option=com_users&task=user.logout&<?php echo JUtility::getToken(); ?>=1&return=<?php echo urlencode(base64_encode('REDIRECT PAGE HERE')); ?>"
Just replace the "REDIRECT PAGE HERE" with the page you want to redirect too. I use '/' to have it redirect to the home page.
Hope this helps someone.
