Creating a log out button at the .global_zone

Hi all, how to go about in creating a button for logout at the .global_zone class. Thanks in advance.
Reasons for doing that:
1. User need not to go back to the <Home> page to logout
2. Able to logout in any zones.

Put an HTML link into the TOP template at an appropriate position.

Code


<a href="{$PAGE_LINK*,:login:logout}">Logout</a>

Nice 'ask', thesea. Thanks.
Nice solution Chris (of course). I tried it and it works.
Just in case anyybody else is following the thread, I was encouraged to add it to my Admin Zone 'zone menu', and it works there as well.

:thumbs:

Take my advice. I'm not using it!

Yes, and No!

The "Admin Zone" zone menu was a recent introduction and isn't activated by default.

Take my advice. I'm not using it!

Are you referring to the Management Navigation?

I must be missing out on something here. :/

Probably.

To all, I am unsure of where to place this line of code. Can someone please direct me to do so? When i put at the top template, it appears after the [edit menu] and when I press it, yes, it will logout but the logout button still appears at the home page. Shouldn't the logout button appears only when user has login?

This'll answer your second query…

Code


{+START,IF,{$NOT,{$IS_GUEST}}}
<a href="{$PAGE_LINK*,:login:logout}">Logout</a>
{+END}

For the first, try the MENU_ZONE template.

Sorry if i have asked a dumb question =) But i tried it out, yes both can work, but how come when i'm at admin zone, the logout button does not have a "|" infront but when i log in as a normal user, there is a "|" infront? I tried to type in the "|" infront but it turns out the admin account has a "| logout" but the normal account will have a "| | logout". Please give me some direction to do it. Thanks in advance, and i apologies for giving more and more questions on this topic.

PS: i edit the code at the menu_zone template
