How can I add a "Logout" button or link to my pages?  I'm using FEU and CustomContent.  The code works fine, but I want to add Logout functionality, with a redirect to a login page or the non-password-protected Homepage, etc...

Look at the module help....

There's a param you can pass to the feusers module to display a logout button.  and also look in the preferences for redirecting.

sorry, Calguy - I completely missed that part of the Help...  thanks!!

Calguy - another question.

How can I change the link text for {$link_changesettings} or {$link_logout}, or the {$prompt_loggedin} text?  For example, if I want it to say "Hello, user" instead of "Welcome, user"...  And if I want the links to say "Update Profile" or "Logoff the System"...

Thanks much.  I did check the Help this time, and I don't think this is covered

this is a bit more complex.

a) create an /module_custom/FrontEndUsers/lang/en_US.php file
b) search in the /modules/FrontEndUsers/lang/en_US.php file for the string you want to change
c) Copy the line(s) you found in step b to the file you created in step a
d) Change the strings to whatever you want.

This functionality was added in the 0.12 series to allow overriding any string in any module without having to worry about re-changing that file when you upgrade the module.

worked perfectly!  the isolated "module_custom" directory is a great idea/feature...

thanks for your help!

stupid question, I guess... but is it possible, to add a log out link to the menu instead of heaving the logout template displayed on a page?

so that people can just chose "log out" in the menu on the left (or top, doesn't matter) and the actually are logged out?
I tried playing around with linking inside CMS but can't get any parameters to work.... maybe I'm just too stupid... or it's not possible. *lol*

Help or hints would be appreciated.
