Is there any way to change the page that the logout link takes the customer to? It currently directs to acatalog/index.html.

This is a Perl hack but it does seem to work.

In your 'Site1' folder, open AccountsScript.pl and search for:

sub CaccLogout

a little way underneath it search for the code:

#
# Generate redirect page
#
$sHTML = "<HTML><HEAD><META HTTP-EQUIV=\"refresh\" CONTENT=\"0; URL=".$sBaseFile."\"></HEAD><BODY></BODY></HTML>";

change it to:

#
# Generate redirect page
#
$sHTML = "<HTML><HEAD><META HTTP-EQUIV=\"refresh\" CONTENT=\"0; URL=http://www.actinic.co.uk/\"></HEAD><BODY></BODY></HTML>";

Obviously replacing http://www.actinic.co.uk/ with your own custom URL.

Actinic is not able to provide any detailed support for script changes made. If you find that there is a problem, an original copy of the script can be found within the 'Original' folder in your installation. Copy this into your site folder.

I have looked at he perl code in version 7. (Perl newbie). And the code to direct a logout landing page has changed. I see its for the good as the html isn't hard coded. Gu how do I change the hash element g_pSetupBlob{'HOMEPAGEURL'}, or where is it set I can't find a reference to it anywhere else. Back to being a perl newbie and trying to grasp hashes and trying to fix the page.
All I really want to do is add a prompt to the log out page that says "you have successfully logged out"

Thanks

Hi Dan,

I see where you are coming from, its looks like version 7 script had changed to allow a variable rather than printing out the html.
I will ask the development team if they can help and will post here once i have found some information.

Kind Regards

Hi Dan, just got some information back from the development team.

Edit AccountsScript.pl
Search for 'sub CaccLogout'
Scroll down to...

#
# Generate redirect page
#
my @Response = ACTINIC::BounceToPagePlain(0, undef, undef,
$::g_sWebSiteUrl, $::g_sContentUrl, $::g_pSetupBlob,
$sBaseFile, \%::g_InputHash);

In the above, the zero (0) indicates no bounce delay in seconds. Change
this to a suitable delay period to allow reading of the message. Setting
it to -1 will prevent the page from bouncing.

Change the first 'undef' to the desired text message, this can include
HTML.

The above will display a page with just the 'message' text. For a better
appearance, change BounceToPagePlain to BounceToPageEnhanced.

e.g.

my @Response = ACTINIC::BounceToPageEnhanced.(5, "You are now logged out",
undef, $::g_sWebSiteUrl, $::g_sContentUrl, $::g_pSetupBlob,
$sBaseFile, \%::g_InputHash);

The above will display a formatted page for 5 seconds with the message
"You are now logged out".

Kind Regards

This has satisified my client but I would still like to be able to send users to a page that telss them that they logged out, not just the interstitial page.

But this works for now.

Thanks
