One-click logout button

Hi

I am enthusiastic about the new one-click logout button I found in the top right corner of the JEvents control panel. In my opinion the default logout procedure in Joomla 4 is not very user friendly, since you need to click then move the mouse down and then click once more. From the very first version of Joomla 4.0.0 I have been looking for a way to have a one-click logout. Now I found JEvents that is providing exactly this desired feature.

Of course it would be necessary to have this one-click logout button not only within the JEvents component. It should be visible everywhere in the Back-End. Could you give me a hint how this could be managed? Is there a little plugin that needs to be installed? Of course I am not able to write such an extension myself. But I would appreciate it very much.

Thank you and kind regards
Chris

Hey Chris,

Glad you like it!

You sure can, actually all you need to do is override the core mod_user. So

Go to -> Administrator Templates -> Atum -> Create Overrides -> mod_user
Edit: html->mod_user->default.php

and replace it with the attached.

It will add a power button icon to the right of the user menu.
