J1.6: How to execute an Action (Logout) by simply clicking on a Tab?
Hello,
At the moment I'm using a logout portlet the user can reach by clicking
on a tab, which is then showing a page with the logout portlet. Now I'm
trying to find a way to implement an Action, where a user can logout by
simply clicking on the tab.
Is that even possible?
Thanks a lot,
Sven.

I put the functionality in an extra portlet, which is used in a certain
psml file for users. The portlet is used for login and logout, depending
on the status of the user. Now I want to create an extra portlet for
logout, which is supposed to be executed, when a logged-in user is
clicking on a tab.
I hope I expressed my intentitions a bit more precicely this time.
Thank you very much,
Sven.

For the logout link, why not put some logic in your top nav to only
display the logout link if a user is already logged on. There are
examples of that in our top navigations.
As for the login link, it sounds like its only displayed on certain
pages, or are there other conditions?

I still think the Redirect portlet would work with a few changes
described in the last email. Im Sorry but for tabs, since tabs in J1 are
associated only with portlets, I can't think of another way to do this
without writing a portlet or extending the redirect portlet to work with
local links.

Hello David,
well, I only need a login for one part of my portal, not the whole
thing. So the login in the top nav would be useless for most of the users.
Is there really no easy way to execute the Logout action (or to logout
any other way) by clicking on a tab?
Thanks again for your help,
Sven.

Why not extend RedirectPortlet and override the createDynamicUrl method
instead generate a relative JsLink?
Anyway, you don't like the logout as a simple $link on the top nav ?

Hello David,
thanks a lot for your help, but unfortunately it dosen't work like that.
The pages with the portlets are not generated from the psml, when I
include this portlet in the portlet registry and refer to it in psml
files. The problem probably is, that you use a hard link to the psml
file of the admin (I tried to include this portlet in the psml of the
admin and not the other users, but it doesn't work either). Is there no
way to register the portlet with an relative path to the psml file,
where the portlet is used? Or maybe a different way to call the action
JLogoutUser?
I don't know what the problem is, but none of the pages, generated from
the psml files, are actually generated. All you can see is an empty page.
Thanks a lot,
Sven.

Well, what I meant was what I've finally ;) found in JetspeedPowerTool
source, i.e.: $jetspeed.getLoggedOn() and $jetspeed.getSubject() and
further $jetspeed.getSubject().getPrincipals().

Normally its done thru a link:
<a href="$jslink.setAction($config.getString("action.logout"))"
$FontStyle>$l10n.TOP_LOGOUT</a>
but to get it to work in a tab is more challenging
I would try a redirect portlet with the URL set to:
http://localhost:8080/jetspeed/portal/media-type/html/user/admin/page/default.psml?action=JLogoutUser
although you may want to extend and create that at runtime
See the portlets.xreg:
<portlet-entry name="RedirectPortlet" hidden="false"
type="abstract" application="false">
<meta-info>
<title>Redirect Portlet</title>
<description>Redirects the portal to the configured URL
when associated with a Jetspeed menu.</description>
</meta-info>
<classname>org.apache.jetspeed.portal.portlets.RedirectPortlet</classname>
<parameter name="url"
value="http://localhost:8080/jetspeed/portal/media-type/html/user/admin/page/default.psml?action=JLogoutUser"
hidden="false" cachedOnName="true" cachedOnValue="true">
<meta-info>
<title>URL</title>
<description>Redirects a menu option to this
URL</description>
</meta-info>
</parameter>
Just don't put it on the first tab or it will log you out immediately!

The question was for 1.6, this is a 2.0 solution

we don't store any user attributes in our tables
try getting it from the user attributes (which you will need to manage)

Well, I'm trying to perform a similar task. A solution in my case is
rather simple, as 'logut' action is realized with redirecting to
something like 'http://localhost:8080/jetspeed/login/logout' (of course,
generate the URL dynamicaly, so that it points to your portal's
appropriate resource), which link can be placed anywhere, even in a tab
(by a decorator script).
By the way, I'm trying to title such a link as 'logout username' and
'not log-on' if none user is logged on. Is there any Jetspeed global
variable in Velocity storing a name (or other data) of a current user?
Or I should rather create it myself?
