logout hook no longer works after upgrade

[jimsweb]

Hello - appreciate if someone could guide me here.

the following logout hook has been working correctly so far. However it stopped working when i upgraded to v 8.0. Can anyone comment why this hook failing after upgrade?

/**
redirect to login page without taking then to WHMCS domain search page when user logs out
 */

<?php

function logout_redirect($vars) {
    header( 'Location: https://xxxxxx.com/clientarea.php' ) ;
}

add_hook("ClientLogout",1,"logout_redirect",""); 

?>

because the ClientLogout hook point got deprecated in v8, you should be able to use the UserLogout hook point in the same way, but i've not tested that yet.

thank you @brian!   i trried out following code per your suggestions, still it is not working..  please comment if i'm doing it wrong or not.

 

/**

 */

<?php

function logout_redirect($vars) {
    header( 'Location: https://xxxxxx.com/clientarea.php' ) ;
}

the following hook should work...

<?php
add_hook('UserLogout', 1, function($vars) {
	header('Location: clientarea.php');
	exit;
});

remember that if you're redirecting to another WHMCS page, you shouldn't need to use the full URL.

it's a v8 hook and only users can login into v8 - so as written, the hook should redirect every user logging out to the same URL.

to predict the next question you're thinking - can you detect whether the user is a user or an owner and redirect them to different locations ?? the answer should be yes, you just need to determine who the user is and redirect accordingly.

😄 😃  😃  😄 😃  I am not going to do that again. Clients were just going round and round after login, they clicked billing to pay their invoices and again landed up to home.  I am looking for something which can automatically take clients to -  https://domainname.com/clients/clientarea.php

I also wanted to know about a hook and have messaged you, can you please have a look. 

Thanks
