How do I prevent going back to previous page after user is logged out?

[Warwick JC]

I have a page that when logging in from a previous logout, the login page redirects back to the same page. 

I want to have a default redirect to the index page instead.

Using

auth.settings.login_next = URL('default','index')

does not help.

1. Is there a better way out in js or some form of settings.
2. Is there a way of restricting this feature to specific pages only? such as if a user is in natgeo.html, gets logged out after expiration time, should be redirected to index.html and not back to natgeo.html.

What about the following?

auth.settings.login_onaccept = lambda form: __on_login()
auth.settings.logout_onlogout = lambda user: __on_logout()

def __on_login():

    # whatever you want to do

    return None

def __on_logout():

    # whatever you want to do   

    return None

To solve your problem use the request object to redirect

HTH,

Hi

Thanks for this.

I put these functions in the model.py, I hope its correct.

def __on_login():

    redirect(URL('index'))

    return None

def __on_logout():

    redirect(URL('index')) 

    return None

Another simple way is  --

To pop out session variables like in code below for all the login session variables and redirect the user wherer-ever you want them to be.

This way since no valid session exists the user would be redirected to page where you intend them to be.

def sign_out():
    session.pop('user_name', None)
    redirect(URL(r=request, f='login'))
    return dict()
