Re: Auth Component does not logout via URL

Prof.No Time

try to take a coffee cup and get relaxed, this is my current solution/
tips/tricks for the moment

1)put this in your AppController class
final protected function _logout() {
if (!empty($this->Cookie)) {
//this ensures if you were using the Cookie component along with the
Auth component (the famous remember me checkbox)
//and you have saved the credentials inside cookie
//you should delete the credentials from the cookie when you log out
//no need to verify if you have already saved the credentials inside
cookie, no error is thrown
$this->Cookie->del($this->Auth->sessionKey);
}
return $this->Auth->logout();
}

2)your UsersController class logout() method should be now like this
public function logout() {
$this->redirect($this->_logout());
}

3)your UsersController class beforeFilter() method/callback should be
now like this
public function beforeFilter() {
...
parent::beforeFilter();
//please specify the always allowed actions... logout should be the
first one of course
$this->Auth->allow
('logout','forgotpassword','resetpassword','activate','register'/* put
here any other always-allowed action*/);
if ($this->Auth->user()) {
if (in_array($this->params['action'],array
('forgotpassword','resetpassword','register','activate'))) {
//if you are forgetting your password,
//if you resetting your password,
//if you are registering as a new user,
//or if you are activating you new accout via url
//you should not be logged in ... yea this is logic
$this->_logout();
} elseif($this->params['action']=='login') {
//you are already logged in, no need to login again
$this->redirect($this->Auth->redirect());
}
} elseif ($this->params['action']=='logout') {
//you are already logged out, no need to log out again
$this->redirect($this->Auth->redirect());
}
...
}

now have a nice baking day....
