Sign out link

[iainbeeston]

It'd be really useful to have a sign out link in the navbar, maybe allowing a path to be passed in in the avo initializer so it supports different frameworks.

It looks like it does automatically add this but only if your user model is called "user". If you have a user model with another name there is an undocumented config option: you have to set config.current_user_resource_name = :my_model in config/initializers/avo.rb. (I wonder why we need both current_user_resource_name and config.current_user_method?)

I was just about to answer about current_user_resource_name. Odd that it's not documented. I'm on it!

The reason that there are two of them is that not everyone is using the current_SOMETHING method. You might use Current.user or something else and the Avo.config.current_user_method is actually a block that takes whatever you pass it and fetches the current user.

(It isn’t related to this issue, but I think documentation about how user avatars and names are picked up automatically would be useful too!)

So true! On it!
