Logout then return to index/home page

[mickeyboy1]

why is it that when you click logout is stays at the login screen

 

i am using 1.5 with custom theme, although this does also this in default theme so shouldnt matter.

 

how will i make it return to the home/index page ??

in this case is necessary to change the front controller, open the file

 

classes/controller/FrontController.php

 

in line 182 you've got

Tools::redirect(isset($_SERVER['HTTP_REFERER']) ? $_SERVER['HTTP_REFERER'] : null);

 

In the Tools::redirect() function use the url (or Link function - it's preffered and correct method) to your homepage

thanks for the reply vekia but im not quite sure what you mean by the "Link function"

 

please can you explain more

 

thanks

Link object is a prestashop Class which allows you to create easily links to the certain pages in your store.

for example, you have got many languages, and want to redirect user to the correct language version of the homepage, then you can use Link object and its function: getLanguageLink

 

$link->getLanguageLink();

Just an update on this......

 

I have turned on friendly url's and now the logout has stopped working

 

If i hover over the logout button the address is "shop/?mylogout="

 

On my test site (which hasnt got friendly url's switched on) the address on the logout button is "shop/index.php?mylogout="

and this works fine

 

 

Any ideas ??

I am using this code in blockuserinfo.tpl

{$link->getPageLink('index', true, NULL, "mylogout")

Would this code need changing if url re-writing is enabled

 

thanks in advance mb

After long searches through the forums last night i found the solution..

 

It was posted in another thread but this is what you need: https://github.com/PrestaShop/PrestaShop/commit/6aad506c80ee6948856587f0863b73c13eab5f2e

Just change the red code for the green

I am using ps version 1.5.3.1 and it was on line 581 in classes/Dispatcher.php
