QUESTION Need user cookie on logout

[craiga]

Hi

Wanted to grab the username cookie just before the user logs out of GS.

I'm currently using 

Code:

get_cookie('GS_ADMIN_USERNAME')

to obtain the user name when the user logs in.  I have been looking through the docs for a hook to allow me to grab the user name when they log out. I thought that the following might help but it's a no go probably because the user data is deleted before I can grab it.

Code:

logout - Fired when a user logs out

Any ideas would be good, thanks

Cheers Shawn, I've been thinking I may have to use session variable s to accomplish what I want. I am looking at tracking who is logged in.

As you had taken interest in the "Multi-user update?" thread, with my unpublished usermgr plugin you can do this quite easily with the current_user function in the page_access hook (is executed inside common hook, before user is logged out): 

PHP Code:

<?php
// register your plugin stuff, then ...

function do_something_with_username() {
  $current_user = current_user();
  $username = $current_user->id;
  // or $current_user->get('usr');
}

add_action('page-access', 'do_something_with_username');
