Custom Logout Option

Hi There,

Basically my issue is on my website www.craftkeg.com , I'm trying to save space by not having a login box.

Instead I've got a HikaShop » Registration form menu item called My Account so people can log into their account/create a new one. However the problem is without having the login box on screen, I've lost the ability of having the Logout button too.

Is there a way to get to a Logout button without having the Login Box module enabled? Perhaps if I had the php it uses and just inserting it somewhere like the User control panel?

Cheers,

Matthew

Hi,

Another solution will just be to create a joomla login menu, then your customer will be able to login/logout without doing it through the login module.

Hi Mohamed,

I did consider this as an option originally. However the issue is when they login they are greeted to a blank page with the Logout button on it and would then need to navigate back to a seperate menu item to get to their User control panel.

I didn't think this approach would be the most intuative (and our research show that are targeted audience of publicans aren't the most tech savvy to begin with!)

You could use your login module and configure it to only display for registered users. That way, it wouldn't show unless the user is logged in.

How would a login module work if a user has to log in first to be able to see it?

Is it very complicated to add a Logout button to the Customer Account page (the first page you see when you login using HikaShop » Registration form)

I'm sorry for some reason when I read module I thought it said 'menu', confused myself there! That could work...
