Personalized logout redirect and message

Hi guys,

I'm wondering if I would need to create an auto action (or if this is something Auto Actions would even handle) for members to either be redirected to a personalized type of "thanks and see you soon message" upon logout (personalized via name etc) or some type of window or panel that would pop up conveying a similar message; or if this is something handled in Joomla itself or some other CB function?

Question: The logout redirection for custom page is simple enough, but how would we personalize an exit salutation for each member?


Thanks Magic

...BTW: On the registration glitch (users not receiving registration emails) turned out their were some glitches with the host provider's servers. (You're right, external provider may be best route to go for this type of service. Thanks for tip. ...And as far as local server, I'm not sure if we ever actually had registrations working. Could have been we got some things confused with multiple jobs working and just ended up thinking registrations were working. If we did get that working, I can't remember how I did it. f (maybe you've got an idea). At any rate, we seem to be moving along quite nicely about now... thanks again

Redirecting to a Joomla article with your logout message is basically the only solution. Using Joomlas message queue will not work, because the session is lost on logout which is where the message is queued so the logout message is lost on logout.

But how could we personalize the message to each specific member?

How would tell Joomla that it's the CB member that just logged out?

One way you could do that is use CB Auto Actions to redirect to a Code action. The Code action would need the Triggers set to None and Method set to HTML. Next in your redirect you'd redirect to the Code actions direct URL with &users=[user_id] you then should be able to use substitutions just fine in your Code action to personalize it. Examples as follows.

Action 1
Triggers: onAfterLogout
Action: Redirect
User: Automatic
Access: Everybody
URL: index.php?option=com_comprofiler&view=pluginclass&plugin=cbautoactions&action=action&actions=CODE_ACTION_ID_HERE&users=[user_id]

Action 2
Triggers: None
Action: Code
User: Automatic
Access: Everybody
Method: HTML
Code:

Thanks Kyle,

Will give it a go.

Let you know how it's working.
