Logout Redirect: to a link of your choice!

Hello everybody!

What if we can redirect the logout to a specific link determined by us?
It's easy, see the code below!

var LogoutRedirect = '/portal' ; // <- Change the link for what you want!

if (localStorage.getItem("logout")) {
   localStorage.removeItem("logout");
   location.href = LogoutRedirect;
};
jQuery(function() {
   if (!_userdata.session_logged_in) {
      return false;
   }
   var _ToolBar = setInterval(function() {
      if (document.getElementById('fa_welcome') !== null) {
         clearInterval(_ToolBar);
         jQuery('a[href$="logout=1"]').attr('href', jQuery('#logout').attr('href'));

         jQuery('a[href*="logout=1"]').click(function(event) {
            localStorage.setItem("logout", 1);
         });
      }
   }, 1000);
});


I await your feedback,

It's not a bad Idea. I was wondering, wouldn't it be better to just use cookies instead of localStorage ? This way older browsers that don't support the Storage API can also make use of this plugin.

I also noticed that LogoutRedirect had a global scope when you can simply wrap it in an anonymous function to keep it local, unless there was a reason it needed to be global ? Lastly would be the polling for the toolbar; I found that initiating a second document ready event applies what you need as soon as the toolbar ( and sceditor ) are ready.

This would be my suggestion to improving it :

Code:

// use an anonymous function so our variables have a local scope
(function() {
  // startup variables
  var redirection = '/t1-', // redirect link
      logout, // logout link
      menu, // toolbar menulist
      setState = function() { my_setcookie('faLogout', 'true') }; // set the cookie state
 
  // if the cookie isn't empty, redirection will occur
  if (my_getcookie('faLogout')) {
    my_setcookie('faLogout', ''); // empty the cookie
    window.location.href = redirection; // redirect the user
  }
 
  // execution for when the document is ready
  $(function() {
    if (!_userdata.session_logged_in) return; // return if the user is logged out
   
    logout = document.getElementById('logout'); // get and set the logout button
    logout.onclick = setState; // set the cookie on click
   
    // ecxecution for when the toolbar is ready
    $(function() {
      menu = document.getElementById('fa_menulist'); // get and set the menulist
     
      // if the menu isn't null, the following will be executed
      if (menu) {
        menu = menu.lastChild.firstChild; // change the menu to the logout option
        menu.href = logout.href; // change the href so the tid and key can initiate an instant logout
        menu.onclick = setState; // set the cookie on click
      }
    });
  });
})();

I like this overall

@Ange Tuteur
Yes, a great improvement, very good!!!

That's what we need: Discuss and make improvements in the codes!!!

Hello @JScript

nice resource I must tell

just a little "suggestion".. it could be useful to have this redirect even on login
maybe an admin wants its member to be redirected to an html page after the login

what do you think?

@Niko
A great idea, that would be the reverse of the actual code or we can merge all?

This will no longer be supported by JScript: https://help.forumotion.com/t151137-in-memory-of-jscript-joao-carlos.
