Hi @Sebastien_Duke - Welcome to the forum :waving_hand:

Straight off the bat - I’m not a coder :man_technologist:

What you’re running into depends on whether your app is built in Classic or the new Next Gen version. Given the fact that you’re missing the JavaScript section I think you’re on Next Gen.

  • Next Gen (the new React version): At the moment, only custom CSS is supported – no JavaScript yet. That means it isn’t possible right now to override the logout redirect to always go back to your General Login page.

  • Classic (the existing jQuery version): This is possible. With a little bit of custom JavaScript, you can catch the logout action and send users back to /login instead of the role-specific login page.

If you were on Classic, (according to my good friend, ChatGPT ), you could do something like this. I’m sure you know better than me.

$(document).on('knack-scene-render.any', function(event, scene) {
  $('a.kn-log-out').off('click').on('click', function(e) {
    e.preventDefault();
    Knack.logout();
    window.location.href = '/login'; // Always go back to General Login
  });
});

If you’re on Next Gen, this isn’t possible yet – Knack are currently working on introducing JavaScript.

Not a lot of help I’m afraid :thinking:
