Title: Is there a way to redirect to the frontpage when logging out?
Post by: wakewatcher on August 22, 2021, 01:39:54 AM
This might be a SMF question.  But is there a setting in TP that tells SMF to just go back to the front page ala mysite.com/smf/index.php when logging out? When I logout now I get this url
mysite.com/smf/index.php?action=forum. I looked at the SMF admin stuff and didn't see where I could change that.  Thx.

Try it now and see if it's doing what you need.

I changed the setting in TinyPortal Admin > Settings > How to redirect after login

I changed it to "Redirect to frontpage"

I was looking for the best of both worlds.  To redirect to the forum on login and redirect to the front page on logout. I did a simple hack on SMF LoginOut.php.

Quoteafter:
// Off to the merry board index we go!
   if ($redirect)
   {
insert this:
   // Off to the merry board index we go!
   if ($redirect)
   {
       // this is my gludge to redirect to the front page when loging out.
       $_SESSION['logout_url'] = "mysite.xxx/index.php"; //try to remember I did this when upgrading.

There's probably a better way that won't catch up to me on the Next SMF upgrade.

Looks like you are getting there....

Alternatively you could have used upper and lower panel blocks for four Frontpage content; just set the blocks in the block setting to only show on the Frontpage...

Obviously I still don't grok TP all that well as I don't understand how that would take me back to the frontpage instead of the forum page on logout but I'll keep playing with it! Thx.

I don't think many people log out, they just close the browser tab.
Time out, perhaps, but not log out.
