      try {
        await window.$memberstackDom.logout();
        console.log('Logged out successfully');
        
        setTimeout(() => {
          location.reload();
        }, 1000); // Refresh the page 1 second after logout

      } catch (error) {

v0.2 - Attribute value sets timer

This script will now set the logout timer based on the content of the [ms-code-logout-timer] element when the page loads. Please note that the content of this element should be in the format MM:SS.

Tutorial

Here's a simple summary of what this script does:

1. When the webpage first loads, it looks for an HTML element on the page that has the attribute `ms-code-logout-timer`. It expects the content of this element to be a time like "10:00" (for 10 minutes) or "00:30" (for 30 seconds).

2. It then starts a countdown from the specified time. This countdown is displayed on the page by updating the content of the `ms-code-logout-timer` element every second.

3. The script also keeps an eye on any activity on the page, such as moving the mouse, pressing a key, or touching the screen (on a touch-enabled device). If it detects any of these activities, it resets the countdown back to its original starting value.

4. If the countdown ever reaches zero, it will automatically redirect the user to a page with the URL "/expired". After the redirection, the countdown restarts from the initial time.

5. Lastly, any member who lands on the /expired page will be logged out automatically.

"We've been using Memberstack for a long time, and it has helped us achieve things we would have never thought possible using Webflow. It's allowed us to build platforms with great depth and functionality and the team behind it has always been super helpful and receptive to feedback"

"Been building a membership site with Memberstack and Jetboost for a client. Feels like magic building with these tools. As someone who’s worked in an agency where some of these apps were coded from scratch, I finally get the hype now. This is a lot faster and a lot cheaper."

Félix Meens

"One of the best products to start a membership site - I like the ease of use of Memberstack. I was able to my membership site up and running within a day. Doesn't get easier than that. Also provides the functionality I need to make the user experience more custom."

"My business wouldn't be what it is without Memberstack. If you think $30/month is expensive, try hiring a developer to integrate custom recommendations into your site for that price. Incredibly flexible set of tools for those willing to put in some minimal efforts to watch their well put together documentation."
