Logout does not work was created by foesl
Hi, I am currently setting up a new Joomla 1.7 site. My problem is this: It is possible to login to the site via the SC login module, but it is not possible to logout in the module. When you click on logout nothing happens - with the standard Joomla module logout works. Is this a common problem? What can I do to fix it?

Regards Michael

Michael,
The logout button should definitely work :)

Can you tell me what happens when you try to logout? Does the page look like it reloads? Does it do 'nothing'? Are there any errors you can see?

If possible, can you post or private message the URL of the site you're working on and we can look into it further.

Thanks,
Alex

you can try it here:

The errorlog shows nothing.

Michael,
The Javascript file that JFBConnect needs to include on the page isn't there. Everything else about the page looks right, so it seems all our plugins are enabled properly and I don't know any other reason it wouldn't be there. Do you have anything that would block certain Javascript files from appearing on the page? In particular, the file /components/com_jfbconnect/includes/jfbconnect.js should be included in the head section of the page.

Let us know if you have any ideas.

Thanks,
Alex

Thank you for the respond - this was the problem! :-)

But I found another one: When you are logged into the site and search something in the searchbox (for example "The Godfather") - and the press logout you get redirected to a strange page with some parts of your last search... This does not happen when I use the standard Joomla Loginbox. Note that I have modified the login module quite a bit, but the problem also occurs with a clean installation of the module.

Michael,
We're investigating another report of something similar. It appears to be that AJAX requests can mess with some of our detection for the 'current' page, used when logging in and out. For now, we'd recommend setting the Returning User Redirection and Logout Redirection to a specific menu item instead of leaving the user on the current page.

We hope to have a solution soon to the problem, but changing those settings should fix you for now.

Thanks, and sorry for the inconvenience,
Alex
