[Workaround OK] "Logout" popup blocked .. instead, how to redir to logout page?
-
So if the logout button is blocked by the average AdBlock Plus extension, then I'm wondering if, instead, I can redirect users to the logout page itself?
But how do I do that?
-
It isn't a button that's being blocked, but the opening of a new tab, windows or popup.
Also known with this definition : a popup.popup control is handled in the users (visitors) browser.
You have NO control about navigator's settings that a visitor is using on his device.

EDIT: Confirmed this method works – use my HTML below, upload it as logout page (as logout.html, the 'legit way' in admin panel), and set the redirect AFTER login to "logout.html". This seems to be a legit workaround for now. I can also confirm the logout button still disconnects you normally. :)

That's what PFS is about mate :) In the time you said this, I logged into /etc/captiveportal-logout-something , took out the js that made it a popup, and suddenly works fine, just an ugly window that can be edited.
Still a lot of work to do, but 100% far from "NO control".
If anyone is interested, use this template (still needs work, but it's a start):
<title>Logout</title> **Click the button below to disconnect**I'm hoping to use redirect page to simply redirect to logout page…
ALTERNATELY,
If anyone knows the exact PHP script that logs a user out, that'd be fantastic... something like
http://pfsip:8000/?logouturl=&sessionid=&cpzone=&logout=
If we could figure this out, could make a simple script to even embed/replace the login page. When logged in, simply replace the submit button with the logout button using jquery

Because its a free world.
You have the right to be wrong. Me also ;)Anyway, your new approach isn't a popup solution (as implemented by pfSense) but you use the Redirect - which is, I guess, a better solution.
Just one question : why isn't it implemented already ?Now, that's why I'm here ;D
Have a look at this https://forum.pfsense.org/index.php?topic=77143.0 - read all pages (more then 6) and you will find out how to access this needed $sessionid so you can create an URL that will log you out.

"Why isn't this already implemented as a feature?"
Good question! This should really be the default feature with popup blockers being almost default these days.
