Logging out a webuser on page load

I am wondering if it is possible to log out a webuser without using a log out button?

So instead of clicking on anything, loading any page that is outside of a certain group would contain a line of code that would terminate the logged in session.

Please let me know if this is possible.

Thanks!

You could put a Snippet on those pages... e.g. build a template that is used for all pages that would log out the user, and inside that template, but your "forced-logout" snippet. Any time one of those pages is loaded, the Snippet could force any logged in users to be logged out. Have a look at the existing logout Snippet(s) to see how to enforce this.

Yes, that’s what I was thinking though I can’t code in PHP (next thing to learn). I looked at Login snippet but that is way too complicated for me to dechiper.

If the snippet is quick to write could you give me an example?

It’s simple... but not so simple I can spit out a quick example of it

No probs!

I want to start learning php soon so I hope eventually I will get a better grasp of the whole thing.

Thanks!

Can I ask ’Why?’

if a user opens another page on the site in a new tab, or window they are going to be logged out - possibly annoying
if a user merely closes the window or just surfs to a different site they will not be logged off...
