re Author URL same window

[lipex666]

Hello excuse me if this has been posted I have tried to read most of the posts.

For Author URL and Screenshot URL and possibly others clicking on the link opens up in the same parent window.

I have quickly looked through the php files and Im not a coder can you point me in the right direction please.

I would like the links to open up ina new window please.

I had a thought and there is a plugin for joomla 1.5 called mfBlank

That has fixed my issue and url's open in a new window :-)

I'm feeling high today (not literally) so lipex can have some juicy +rep. It's the least I can do.

target="_blank" in your link tag should work, if I recall right.

ThanksWingedPanther however this needs to be in one of the php files code and where in the code.

I had a quick look but weighed up time on searching for this to just using the plugin and carried on fixing the rest of my site.

I would like to still know though or suggest it can be added to the next version please.

Yes, that attribute opens it in a new window, or tab in FF.

The opening of a new window is controlled by HTML and the browser, or javascript and the browser. PHP code can only generate HTML to be sent to the browser, but not control how the browser renders it. What you are describing has to be handled in the link tag in the resulting HTML.

Just remember, lipex: all the PHP happens before the page is sent across to the browser. Bear this in mind, you should see the logic.
