What's the reason for the Logout "Click here to continue..." button?

[northfork]

This has always bugged me. What is the reason WHMCS displays a "Click here to continue..." button when a user logs out of their account? See screenshot.

Why can't it just show the user account login page again once they log out? Just like WHMCS does when logging out of your admin area.

Am I missing something seems not needed for the user to click a button to do nothing. 

Thanks in advance.

let's not start making one of those lists - we'd be here for a while. 🙂

I suspect it's just a legacy thing... e.g WHMCS has always done that (as far as I can remember) when logging out.

simplest solution would be to use a hook to redirect the user to a specific page when they logout - that could be back to login.php, to your homepage or even an external link... I wrote the hook below for another user using v7.5 back in May 2018, but it would still work with v7.7.1 (and probably any version of WHMCS released in recent years)...

<?php

/**
* Client Logout Redirection Hook
* @author brian!
*/

function logout_redirect_hook($vars){

	$url = 'login.php';
	header( 'Location: '.$url );
}

add_hook('ClientLogout', 1, "logout_redirect_hook");

Perfect this is exactly what I was needing! Just tested and still works.

Thanks again @brian!
