Forum Link... how to make it open a new window

[Firepower_426]

Reference: http://www.mk5gti.com (I had to redo it, don't ask)

Anyways, The Gallery links to an outside page. Is it possible for me to make this open a new window? Otherwise it's a pain for those who are not able to tab browse. Thanks!

Go to:

Admin CP --> Styles & Templates --> Style Manager --> « » --> Forum Home Templates --> forumhome_forumbit_level2_post

Find:

<a href="forumdisplay.php?$session[sessionurl]f=$forum[forumid]">

Replace it with:

<a href="forumdisplay.php?$session[sessionurl]f=$forum[forumid]"<if condition="$forum['forumid'] == [color=red][b]X[/b][/color]"> target="_blank">

... replacing X with the forum ID of the gallery forum.

Actually, you would need to use

<a href="forumdisplay.php?$session[sessionurl]f=$forum[forumid]"<if condition="$forum['forumid'] == [color=red]X[/color]"> target="_blank"</if>>

Thanks guys!

How would one modify the code above if you wanted multiple forum links to open in a new window? For example, I have two outside links setup. Just use a comma?

When I attempt to use the code provided by WetWired above, I get an error:

Parse error: parse error, unexpected T_CONSTANT_ENCAPSED_STRING in /home/tannerwo/public_html/forums/includes/adminfunctions_template.php(3096) : eval()'d code on line 13

On the other hand, the original code by daemon doesn't seem to open a new window. Do I need to do something else here? Or am I just crazy

[Tannerman]

Still looking for some assistance on this code. Thanks!

There's nothing wrong with his code. Did you replace the red X with the forum ID you want this done for?

Yes, I did. I'd like this to happen with forum ID #130

I replaced the source code of:

<a href="forumdisplay.php?$session[sessionurl]f=$forum[forumid]">

with:

<a href="forumdisplay.php?$session[sessionurl]f=$forum[forumid]"<if condition="$forum['forumid'] == 130"> target="_blank"</if>>

Didn't get an error tonight, but this also doesn't seem seem to open in new window either, so I don't know what gives. I assume the template doesn't need to be republished or something odd like that. Also, how would this be done for multiple forums (ie. 130, 131)?

[Firepower_426]

Ditto. I need to know how this would work for 3 forums! Copying and pasting only allows it to work for one. Anyone? Thanks!

[Firepower_426]

Yeah, I've fooled around with that code quite a bit and I still can't manipulate it the way I need it too. If I put it in 3 times it only allows the first mentioned forum to open in a new window, every following code is worthless. Thanks guys!

[Firepower_426]

Bump! Anyone? I've got the navbar all set, but that was simply done with target="_blank". Any ideas for these? Thanks!

[Firepower_426]

Bump!

[Firepower_426]

No one, sigh.
