Forum Links In New Tabs

[borbole]

This will make that all the forums that you will turn into redirected links, to open in a new window. I saw it being requested at a thread here.

Anyway, find the following code at the node_link_level_2 template.

<div class="nodeText">
<h3 class="nodeTitle"><a href="{xen:link link-forums, $link}" data-description-x="#nodeDescription-{$link.node_id}">{$link.title}</a></h3>
<xen:if is="{$link.description}"><blockquote class="nodeDescription muted baseHtml" id="nodeDescription-{$link.node_id}">{xen:raw $link.description}</blockquote></xen:if>
</div>

And change it to:

<div class="nodeText">
<h3 class="nodeTitle"><a href="{xen:link link-forums, $link}" target="_blank" data-description-x="#nodeDescription-{$link.node_id}">{$link.title}</a></h3>
<xen:if is="{$link.description}"><blockquote class="nodeDescription muted baseHtml" id="nodeDescription-{$link.node_id}">{xen:raw $link.description}</blockquote></xen:if>
</div>

I've suggested this before but it would be nice if somehow we can get some kind of counter on the right hand side showing how many people have been redirected to that link. anyway. nice work and thanks

 

[borbole]

I agree. That would be a nice feature to have. Thank you for your feedback

Yes it is. But that is the easiest way to make them open in a new tab.

jQuery is loaded on each page in xenForo if my memory serves me correctly. You might want to look at this:-

I know how to replace it but that would require more work. Hence me taking the easy way.

Don't take this the wrong way but I think all mods should output valid HTML - this breaks xenForo's validation. I am quite suprised you don't want to fix it in fact given that you offer forum services. Will all your services output code from 2005?

[edit]Apologies, I just noticed this is a template modification, not a mod

I am not taking this the wrong way and I am all for valid HTML but I think that you are making a mountin out of a molehill. And this was made on the fly as already explained above and not part of my forum services at all btw

Not anymore . The latest working drafts on HTML5 (published as well as non-published) don't list target as a deprecated attribute. In fact, the base element now supports the target attribute too. (status given in 3rd link below)

Well I never...

I'm so pleased this got added back!! I always wondered in fact why they removed it!

All's well that ends well

Preview?

Preview?

Do you mean a screenshot? If so, I don''t think it is possible. As it says, it makes the forums that serve as links to open in a new tab.

Most probably want to change this code as well: This will open the link in a new window if the link is clicked in the forum drop down menu.

find the following code at the node_link_level_n template.

Change:

<h4 class="nodeTitle"><a href="{xen:link link-forums, $link}" class="menuRow">{$link.title}</a></h4>

to:

<h4 class="nodeTitle"><a href="{xen:link link-forums, $link}" target="_blank" class="menuRow">{$link.title}</a></h4>
