Call Ajax Handler from outside of OctoberCMS

Need Help
#1

I search for a way to create a Logout link from outside of OctoberCMS.

So basically this here in a normal HTML page:
<a data-request="onLogout" data-request-data="redirect: 'https://my-october-page.com'">Logout</a>

I tried it together with the import of framework-extras and jquery but didnt have success.

Maybe someone has an idea of how I could get a solution for this problem.

Use {% do ajaxHandler('onLogout') %}

Hm wait, but I try to do this outside of OctoberCMS on a normal HTML page.

So basically Twig is not even compiled here…

Make a dedicated logout CMS page, that logs out when you make a GET call to it.

If the normal page is on the same host, you can call the URL using a basic AJAX call.

Or you make a redirect page

{% do ajaxHandler('onLogout') %}
{% do redirect('back/to/my/page.html') %}

uoh… ok this is a great solution!

Only open question: The onLogout generate a flash message which would be displayed on the /logout page if there wouldnt be a redirect. How to pass the message to the redirected page or how to add a custom flash message to this redirect page?

Please read the documentation link I gave.

The following properties can be expected in the resulting object.

flash flash messages set by the handler.

Sorry at that point - I did read it but this here is all I could do:

{% set result = ajaxHandler('onLogout') %}
{{ result.flash.success }}

This here stores the result of the handler, but the handler does not logout anymore, so… its kinda usless

{% do ajaxHandler('onLogout') %}
{% do redirect('/') %}

This here works, but the logout mssage is not displayed on the start page.

url = "/logout"
layout = "default"
title = "Logout"
==
function onEnd()
{
Flash::success('You have been successfully logged out!');
return Redirect::to('/');
}
==
{% do ajaxHandler('onLogout') %}

This here works as expected with the logout message on the startpage which you’re redirected to.

I just hoped there’s a combination of all to call the handler, then get the message from the handler somehow and pass this message as flash message to the redirect - the redirect with flash in twig is my problem, not the call of the handler.

The solution from the last post still had bugs. This here is the final solution:

url = "/logout"
layout = "none"
title = "Logout"
==
function onStart()
{
    # Not logged in 
    if(Auth::getUser() === null) {
        return Cms::redirect('/login');
    }
    # Logged in, call logout handler and redirect. Message comes from handler.
    else {
        $sessionComponent = new RainLab\User\Components\Session;
        $sessionComponent->onLogout();
        return Cms::redirect('/login/');
    }
}
==

So if you call the /logout from anywhere in your website now, there’s a redirect if the user is not logged in and if there’s a user logged in, he’s logged out.

I got a Layout called “none” btw… which is very empty obviously…
