How to create a logout button!

Logging in to the customer portal is easy, just redirect to the page and force.com does the rest.

 

But, I can't find any way of logging out! Checked the forums, documentation etc.

 

Any ideas? Thanks!

You have the example as part of the sample header component:

 

 

<apex:outputLink value="{!$Site.Prefix}/secur/logout.jsp" rendered="{!NOT(ISPICKVAL($User.UserType,'Guest'))}">{!$Label.site.logout}</apex:outputLink>
 
Also, make sure you populate the Logout URL field for your portal if you want to take users to a page other than the site home page after logout (on the portal details page)
