Landing page after signing out

wohoo · April 2008

When clicking the "Sign Out" link on the top-right corner, Vanilla sends the user to an almost blank page with a "You have been signed out successfully" message. What would I need to change so the user will be kept on the same page or at the very least sent to the forum index upon signing out?

Thanks a bunch!

Good question, that "almost blank" page annoys me too.

It shouldn't be too hard to to re-direct to another page with relevant content.

Sounds like an extension request to me.

You could also make a theme with just one file overridden to suit your needs: people_signout_form_validpostback.php

If you want to go the extension route, here's the relevant Delegates: Leave::PreValidPostBackRender, Leave::PostValidPostBackRender (location in library/People/People.Control.Leave.php)

Yeah, messing with people_signout_form_validpostback.php isn't getting me the desired effect.

Can you explain what to change in the "/people/People.Control.Leave.php" to have it redirect to Vanilla index or another URL?

You can create a new theme or just alter people_signout_form_validpostback.php to:


<?php
// Note: This file is included from the library/People/People.Control.Leave.php class.

echo '<div class="FormComplete">
<h2>'.$this->Context->GetDefinition('SignOutSuccessful').'</h2>
<ul>
<li><a href="'.GetUrl($this->Context->Configuration, $this->Context->SelfUrl).'">'.$this->Context->GetDefinition('SignInAgain').'</a></li>
</ul>
</div>';
// Redirect back to index after signing out
header('Location: '.GetUrl($this->Context->Configuration, 'index.php'));
?>

Sweet, works like a charm. I'm working on a highly customized theme, so adding another template *.php isn't a big deal.
Thanks sjeeps!
