LOGOUT action in process not logging user out

Rennur

I have a HTML button starting a 'LogoutUser' process.

The process:

DISPLAY QUESTION 'Are you sure you want to logout?'
If Question.Reply='Yes' Then LOGOUT LoggedInSystemUser

When the button is clicked the process start fine & the "Question' is displayed, but when you click 'Yes' nothing happens. I'm not logged out and can still access everything.

I was following advice for this post:

Rennur,
Nice menu/status bar. This is what i´m looking into when it comes to a custom html status bar (footer). When it comes to the status icons etc. did you just use Aware IM functions to count specific BO´s and then display them through a tag expression in the status bar?

Also, the design of the menu/status bar is great. Is this your customization with the bootstrap framework? Was it a hard/difficult customization?

Thanks

Hi hlp123,

Yes, the menu bar is made using the Bootstrap framework. Depending on you CSS/HTML skill level it should not be hard to implement. The Bootstrap website provides a ton of samples.

Lots of resources:
Awesome button generater
Layout Builder
Huge list of resources

Yes, the badge (status icons) icons are using a COUNT function to count the number of BOs

<<COUNT Object WHERE (Object.Date=CURRENT_DATE AND Object.Status='New')>>

Example messages button:
<button class="btn btn-info" type="button" title="My Messages" onclick="AwareApp.startProcess ('processName', AwareApp.getPanelId('main','tabName','panelName'))"><i class="icon-envelope icon-white"></i> <span class="badge badge-important"><<COUNT Object WHERE (Object.Date=CURRENT_DATE AND Object.Status='New')>></span></button>

You need to download Bootstrap, copy it to C:\AwareIM\Tomcat\webapps\AwareIM\bootstrap folder & include the link

<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="bootstrap/css/bootstrap.css">

in the <HEAD> element of the startup.html (I think you have to put in below the

I've changed my startup.html to a HTML5 doctype. Here is what it looks like:

Happy coding 🙂

Found the function to log out and redirect you to the login page after logout:

<button type="button" onclick="AwareApp.logout ('myLoginPage.html')">Sign Out</button>

Can anyone confirm the LOGOUT function in a process has a bug?

Cheers

Rennur,
BIG thanks for sharing 🙂.

Judging by a lack of replies, I guess LOGOUT function does not work. :?

Rennur,
Have you managed to get the html logout to work yet? If not, I tested the Library sample application and there Awaresoft use a html/custom button to log a user out and it works.

Try it yourself (log in as member):

Found the function to log out and redirect you to the login page after logout: 
Code:
<button type="button" onclick="AwareApp.logout ('myLoginPage.html')">Sign Out</button>

I use javascript: AwareApp.logout ('myLogin.html'), same as the Library app

Cheers

The LOGOUT action is a bit special - it logs out existing users EXCEPT the user who issued a request. This is normally used if you want to enforce licensing limitations - for example, when the new user who logs in kicks out all existing users.

The above comment only applies to the action in the rule, not to the Javascript method.

Rennur

Any suggestions on how to log yourself out using a process?

aware_support

You cannot at the moment.

Rennur,
I have found a solution to this that works (logs a user out from a process):

Create a VP called "Logout".
Make sure the VP is totally empty, the only thing you should have "active" is the "Main" frame.
In the "Main" frame go to the "Main" content panel and choose "Command" ("Selected panel"). From there choose "Logout" as the command type. Optionally add "exit" URL.
From a process use the following:
"DISPLAY PERSPECTIVE Logout"
The user is logged out.

Call the VP something else e.g. "VpLogout". It seems as though calling the VP "Logout" is a no-go.

Do you have just a generic logoff.jsp file that I can install on my new version of AwareIM. Seems that the original file that was included in my version 4.9 is not usable for version 7. I just need a generic version so that I can use it for all of my applications/business spaces that reference the logoff.jsp
