User tests: Successful: Unsuccessful:
This Pull Requests adds a new Menu Item Type "Logout" to the available menu item types. It allows users to create a menu item "Logout" that directly logouts a user when clicking on the menu item. Optionally you can set a page to redirect after logout, otherwise the user will be redirected to the default (home) page.
In this way it is no longer needed to use the "Login" menu-item type to logout, which shows a page with a "Logout" button only.
For the JFIELD_LOGOUT_REDIRECT_PAGE_DESC and JFIELD_LOGOUT_REDIRECT_PAGE_LABEL the same description is used as for the mod_login with the similar functionality (MOD_LOGIN_FIELD_LOGOUT_REDIRECTURL_DESC and MOD_LOGIN_FIELD_LOGOUT_REDIRECTURL_LABEL).
Test instructions
After applying the patch you can create a new menu-item from type "Logout"
Provide a title and typically you would set the Access to "Registered" so only logged-in users can see the logout menu-item.
Optionally you can select a "Logout Redirection Page" under "Options" that will be used to redirect the user to after logout. "Default" will return to the default (home) page.
Save the menu item and login with a user on the frontend of the website. The logout menu item should be visible. Clicking on the logout menu item should end your user session and redirect to the page set.

Excellent new feature! No more having to use a 3pd extension to accomplish this task.
Tested and found to work great.
Tested. All good!

@brianteeman Can we get your language review? If you are ok with it we can set it RTC ;) Thanks for all the testers and @sanderpotjer

The other way around: Is there a way to hide a login menu-item for registered users, when the have logged in?
When using a login menu-item and a logout menu-item both menu-items are visible after a successful login. Ideally only the logout menu-item should be visible.
@waader yes you can hide login items for users who are logged in. See

Create a new Menu-Item -> Users -> Logout and let the Default-Option. Logged in as Administrator and it Works. Very cool and easy to use.

@test success, after applying the patch I can see a new "Logout" option for com_users, creating a menu item as described and clicking on it after I've logged in, the logout went fine.

Default logout page set to the homepage instead of current page. Usage of current page is not possible as that would be the logout page (results in loop). Default page makes more sense as well to prevent 404 errors on logout when logging out while being on a page that is only visible for registered users.
