Redirect home after logout

[modifiedcontent]

I think you can create a simple logout link with

<a href="admin/login/logout">log out</a>

But it redirects to the login form in the admin area. Can I hook into logout and change the redirect? Default redirect home would make sense.

Or is the way to do this still to create a logout template + page with session->logout()  and a redirect?

You can hook before ProcessLogin::executeLogout and set the desired url.

<?php

wire()->addHookBefore("ProcessLogin::executeLogout", null, "setRedirect");

function setRedirect(HookEvent $event) {
	$event->object->setLogoutURL($pages->get('/')->httpUrl);
}

Thanks BitPoet.

I get server errors when I put this in ready.php.  - should it go there or could you also put it in a functions.php file within the templates folder? This is the error I get on logout:

Error: Uncaught Error: Call to a member function get() on null in /var/www/html/site/ready.php:6

This error message was shown because: you are logged in as a Superuser. Error has been logged.

This version produces no errors, but doesn't do anything either:

wire()->addHookBefore("ProcessLogin::executeLogout", null, "setRedirect");

function setRedirect(HookEvent $event) {
	$event->object->setLogoutURL('/');
}

Probably unrelated, but does it make any difference if you do wire()->... or wire->... ?

Why is redirect to homepage not default behavior anyway?! The login form in the admin area is the last place you want to be when you log out. Wordpress has the same annoying illogical default behavior. Is there some obscure reason why it makes sense?

This should work:

    wire()->addHookBefore("ProcessLogin::executeLogout", null, "setRedirect");

    function setRedirect(HookEvent $event) {
        $event->object->setLogoutURL(wire('pages')->get('/')->httpUrl);
    }

Thanks adrian !

Yes, that does seem to work.

I have seen another hooked function like this:

$wire->addHookAfter ...

Is wire() and $wire and wire-> etc. all the same? What's what? I guess I'll have to study up on that...

And would this work within the templates folder, in a functions.php or something like that? I'll have to try that...  The ready.php file is awkward.

Why? Ready.php is my best friend

adrian's solution works well, but causes an internal server error on one page that loads an external script:

2017-04-02 07:06:03	guest	http://mysite.com/http404/	Error: 	Cannot redeclare setRedirect() (previously declared in /var/www/html/site/assets/cache/FileCompiler/site/ready.php:5) (line 5 of /var/www/html/site/assets/cache/FileCompiler/site/ready.php)

Renaming the function did not fix it. Don't have time to dig into this right now. Leaving this note here and will report back...

Works well if you change null for $this. Was erroring before.
