Log out and return to the page you were at

This hack was requested by theflow for God knows how many times.
I'm surprised no one has ever came up with a way to do this, as it's very simple.

Description: This hack lets you place a log out link on any of your pages, and it makes you go back to where you clicked the link from after you have logged out.

Files to edit: member.php.

Templates to add: redirect_logout.

Templates to edit: Any that you want to put the logout link on.

Tested on: vBulletin v2.0.3.

Installation:
1) Open members.php and find

PHP Code:

  eval("standarderror(\"".gettemplate("error_cookieclear")."\");"); 


and replace it with

PHP Code:

  $url = $HTTP_REFERER;
  eval("standardredirect(\"".gettemplate("redirect_logout")."\",\"$url\");"); 


2) Add a template called redirect_logout and put

All cookies cleared. Please wait.

or, as a matter of fact, any other message you want to be displayed.

3) Place

<smallfont><a href="member.php?s=$session[sessionhash]&action=logout">Log Out</a></smallfont>

on any template you want to give the option to log out.

Enjoy this, and please feedback!

Is there anyway to have an outside VB log in script, which does this? I know there's one already out, but me and a bunch of the others requested a "go whatever URL you want" after logging in script. Maybe you can mix the scripts together, and see what you come up with! :-D

First of all, what hack are you talking about?
Also, what happends when you log in using that script? Where does it take you?

Firefly, any progress on the requested tweeks for this hack? I can't use it yet in current state. Thank you.

theflow, you can edit the message at the bottom in the standardredirect template. Use $url for the place you were coming from and $bburl for the forum's index.

I don't know how to write code, and I am wanting the 2 options to be there, but I also want it to auto-redirect you to where you were after 5 seconds.

I also want to get the "Unregistered" pre-fill text removed from all username entry screens.

I also want to hold the unregistered "screen name" from a preview screen to a Submit action.

To remove Unregistered open sessions.php in your admin folder and replace

PHP Code:

  $bbuserinfo['username']=iif ($loginusername=="","Unregistered",htmlspecialchars($loginusername)); 


with

PHP Code:

  $bbuserinfo['username']=iif ($loginusername=="","",htmlspecialchars($loginusername)); 


In your standardredirect template replace

PHP Code:

<smallfont><a href="$url">Click here if you do not want to wait any longer<br>
        (or if your browser does not automatically forward you)</a></smallfont> 


with

PHP Code:

<smallfont><a href="$url">Click here to come back to where you came from</a><br>
<a href="$bburl">Click here to go to the forum index</a></smallfont> 


and that's it.

As for holding the new name to the preview screen it's complicated, I'm still trying to figure it all out.

Sorry, I've been trying to find out how to do this for over an hour now, and I just can't do it... I think you'll need a real expert for this one. Sorry.
