Self made logout button in a PHP block help.

That's because SMF2's code has changed. You'll probably have to do something like this:

Code Select Expand


"', $scripturl,'?action=logout;', $context['session_var'] ,'=', $context['session_id'],'"

That's a no go. If I enter that via the menu manager I get "You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near ''?action=logout;', $context['session_var'] ,'=', $context['session_id'],'"' WHER' at line 1".
I've even tried putting it in manually in mysql.. it goes in but the link does nothing but go to the main page.
The mouse over just comes up "http://mywebsite.com/index.php". No session info at all.

I'm guessing there's no way to do this within the tpmenu structure.

So are you trying to do it in the menu manager or a php block like the title of the topic says?

I ended up making a PHP article page with logout confirmation. Like this.

Code Select Expand

$logoutlink = '<a href="' . $scripturl . '?action=logout;' . $context['session_var'] . '=' . $context['session_id'] . '">[LOGOUT]</a>';
echo "<center><font size=3>Please confirm logout....<br>";
echo $logoutlink;
echo "</font></center>";


Then I made a link in menu manager to link to that article. But I would prefer to find a cleaner way of adding a logout link the menu manager menu. :crazy2:

You could just place that code into a php block, tested and seems to work fine on our test site!

Then I end up writing the whole damn nav block.. a dozen links that always change... the menu manager at least makes this easy and modular.
Oh and i have seperate nav blocks for guest and members.
Especially with articles.. just a drop menu boom link done... lol
I guess i'll just stick to my way until tinyportal decides to add logout option to menus...

Well there's no way to pass in any type of variables in the menu manager. Sorry.
