'logout' is not called by hook_user when logging out.

Posted by giantjupiter on December 5, 2008 at 1:39pm

Hi,

'logout' is not called by hook_user() when logging out.

I added the line

drupal_set_message('in xxxx_user(), op = ' . $op);

as the first line in the hook_user(). I cannot see 'logout' after clicking logging out.

I can see other parameters, like 'login', ...

All I want to do is to clear some stuff after the user logs out. Where else I can do it?

Thanks.

Same problem with Drupal

Same problem with Drupal 6.8. I hope this can be fixed ASAP.

The problem is with the session destroy

When you click logout, the function user_logout() is called. You can see there that it invokes the 'logout' hook.

The problem is that when a user logs out, his session is destroyed, and with it all the messages you set. This is why you can't see your drupal_set_message().

I want to display a message as well and am wondering how to do it...
