Currently a client at the City is using WebLink for public records. One concern they had was that there is a log out link and when clicked it shows User Name and Password grayed out. Instinctively, users would probably just click log in to get access back to WebLink as there is nothing else on the page. Ideally, they would like to remove the log out component to avoid any confusion for users. Would this be possible or could this possibly be a feature request?

Hi Kevin,
You can remove this button by modifying the WebLink page's CSS. Specifically, you'll want to find the particular element that corresponds to the "Log Out" button and hide it. Note, however, that this will hide the Log Out button across the board, for all users. For directions on how to do this with CSS, check out this Solution Exchange Article! It describes how to modify a WebLink page's CSS to hide the "My WebLink" button, but the process is almost identical.
For more information on how you can customize the appearance and functionality of WebLink, take a look at the WebLink help files.
Thank you for your quick response Kelsey!
Looks like part of the communication on my part was lost initially as well. To add to my question, looks like we have done this for the customer in the past, but the changes were lost when they upgraded. As such, the customer is looking for a toggle button to turn it on and off, rather than having us adjust the code whenever we upgrade.
Any recommendation or knowledge to shoot my way regarding this?
For my own future reference, and for anyone else looking to do this quickly...
Edit the WebLinkStyles.css file and add this line:
a#LogoffLink {display:none; }
For public-facing, I also remove the "My WEblink" link by adding this line:
a#PrefsLink { display:none; }
Kelsey's awesome link has lots more you can customize, and some of the background behind it.
Enjoy!
