Title: Make link open in new window
Post by: enmom on September 01, 2015, 05:10:53 PM

If this is already on here somewhere then just point me in the right direction! I've looked for a while and couldn't find anything.

I've added 'links' page and would like for each of them to open in a new window when clicked but unsure of how to do this....can it be done and if so can someone help me figure it out?

Thanks for any help I can get.

This can be done by adding the target="_blank" to attribute tags.

Example;

Code: [Select]

<a href="http://simpleportal.net/">Simple Portal</a<

Code: [Select]

<a href="http://simpleportal.net/" target="_blank">Simple Portal</a>

Sorry, just seeing this (my email notification must not be working?) and thanks for your help! I'll give it a try.

Since I am 100% sure of the solution provided, I am marking this as solved. Feel free to reply and report any issues you may find :)
On another note... You may have forgot to update your profile, because it says you are still running SMF 2.0.6, which is old, buggy, and with some security issues. Also shows that you are not running SimplePortal, but I don't think you'd be here if that was true :P

alt is only used for 3 HTML tags, none of which are the hyperlink tag.
the bbcode's of url (new page) and iurl (same page) are for hyperlinks as Ninja had referenced.

Yes Ninja ZX-10RR and Chen Zhen... I appreciate your reply. What i mean was how do i add target="_blank" to BBcode url and how do i add alt attribute to BBcode img tag? I think i question is clear now.

You don't add that to BBCode as it's HTML, please read the page I linked.
