logout in frontpage

[rafi]

hello,

the only way to logout is over the backend, right?
but can i add a button/link to logoff on the frontend, so people dont need to go on the backend?

Hi!

Serendpity has a "Loginform" sidebar plugin (serendipity_plugin_loginform) available through the Spartacus plugin or http://spartacus.s9y.org that offers you to have a login area, where you can also log out.

And of course you could add a HTML nugget sidebar plugin where you simply enter the link that's given to you in the backend.

HTH,

hi thanks for this information

now i have the plugin working on my side,

but when i click on its "logout"-button nothing happens.

the real logout url which works is /serendipity_admin.php?serendipity[adminModule]=logout
right...

but on the sidebar plugin its like this:

Code: Select all

       <div class="serendipitySideBarItem container_serendipity_plugin_loginform">

                     <h3 class="serendipitySideBarTitle serendipity_plugin_loginform">title</h3>
                  <div class="serendipitySideBarContent"><div class="serendipity_center">Welcome back, rafael</div><form id="loginform" action="/index.php?" method="post"><input type="hidden" name="serendipity[logout]" value="true" /><input type="submit" name="serendipity[action]" value="Logout >" /><div class="loginform_link_entry"><a href="http://blog.foo.com/serendipity_admin.php?serendipity[adminModule]=entries&serendipity[adminAction]=new">New Entry</a></div><div class="loginform_link_media"><a href="http://blog.foo.com/serendipity_admin.php?serendipity[adminModule]=media&serendipity[adminAction]=addSelect">Add media</a></div></form><div class="serendipity_edit_nugget"><a href="/serendipity_admin.php?serendipity[adminModule]=plugins&serendipity[plugin_to_conf]=serendipity_plugin_loginform:ed6cba4bdbb114c8280ba8f35a5fe1bb">Edit</a></div></div>

so i really wonder about the logout part

Code: Select all

<input type="submit" name="serendipity[action]" value="Logout >" />

how is it supposed to work?

thanks for help

Hi!

Did you also install the event-part of the plugin, "serendipity_event_loginform"? It is usually automatically downloaded when you install the sidebar plugin, so check if it's listed in your event plugin section as well. The logout must be performed by an event plugin...
