How do I make a log out go back to the splash page for anonymous users?

Description

This didn't seem to be a problem before I upgraded to Drupal 5.1. I have my site (http://www.altbikermice.us/) set up with a splash page for anonymous users and any users not signed in. Once signed in, users are sent to the frontpage I have set up with views (http://www.altbikermice.us/?q=frontpage).

The problem is when you log out, instead of going back to http://www.altbikermice.us/ the page stays at http://www.altbikermice.us/?q=frontpage and the now anonymous user sees the 403 error page. I like my themed 403 page, but I'm really tired of seeing it. And I'm waiting for my users to start complaining that they must be doing something wrong. Is there something I forget to set or a code I need to add?

Same exact problem on 1.9. Anyone come up with a solution?

Thanks,

Try changing your link to be: http://www.altbikermice.us/?q=front_page

That works for me.

In your ADVANCED FRONT PAGE settings, in the option to set the DEFAULT FRONT PAGE of your site, type in front_page instead of what you have at the moment, i.e. frontpage

Ive made a little headway... Here is what I have and what Ive done.

I have a site with several user roles, each with a different home page. When the user logs in, he/she is being directed ONLY to the homepage for the Anonymous user and not for thier user type. IF I click the home link after I log in, it will go to the correct user.

This is in addition to the logout issue. What I did to correct this is disable the "Redirect your site HOME links to:" option. Now when I logout I dont get the 403. This still seems broken.

The problem still exists that none of my roles go to thier homepage immediatley upon login, even with the "front_page" option.

Hi Imangold,

can you post (or email me) a link to your website so I can have a look?

Unfortunatley, no. I appreciate your willingness to help but I can't do that.

I, too, have an issue with logout. I have the overide breadcrumb setting on for my authenticated users. The logout process leads to my redirect link, which cause an access denied notice. If the overide is deactivated, then the home and the main title link leads to the splash page.

Maybe a logout redirect specific link would be nice.

this sounds like a caching issue. Recommend you use the omit from cache module.
