Address to redirect users to: Question

[Arebias]

When creating a new board and using the option of Address to redirect users to: I can't seem to figure out how to force the link to create in new tab or window.

Any help would be appreciated.

How is the info added?  Is it coded in or is it just typing in an address in a input field?

Just typed in the address.

I messed around trying to use BB code but no luck.

You can't choose the target window.  The field will only accept a url.

You can alter the default behavior for redirect boards quite easily.

Themes/default/BoardIndex.template.php
FIND

Code Select Expand

<a href="', ($board['is_redirect'] || $context['user']['is_guest'] ? $board['href'] : $scripturl . '?action=unread;board=' . $board['id'] . '.0;children'), '">';
REPLACE

Code Select Expand

<a href="', ($board['is_redirect'] || $context['user']['is_guest'] ? $board['href'] : $scripturl . '?action=unread;board=' . $board['id'] . '.0;children'), '"'. ($board['is_redirect']? ' target="_blank"': '') .'>';

AND

FIND

Code Select Expand

<h4><a href="', $board['href'], '" name="b', $board['id'], '">', $board['name'], '</a>';

REPLACE

Code Select Expand

<h4><a href="', $board['href'], '" name="b', $board['id'], '"'. ($board['is_redirect']? ' target="_blank"': '') .'>', $board['name'], '</a>';

Themes/default/MessageIndex.template.php
FIND

Code Select Expand

<a href="', ($board['is_redirect'] || $context['user']['is_guest'] ? $board['href'] : $scripturl . '?action=unread;board=' . $board['id'] . '.0;children'), '">';

AND

FIND

Code Select Expand

<h4><a href="', $board['href'], '" name="b', $board['id'], '">', $board['name'], '</a>';

REPLACE

<h4><a href="', $board['href'], '" name="b', $board['id'], '"'. ($board['is_redirect']? ' target="_blank"': '') .'>', $board['name'], '</a>';

I thank you for that. That is what I was hoping for was that someone could come in here and tell me where and how. You did just that. I will probably do that tomorrow. Will make sure and post my results.

Thanks again.

[Arebias]

Well that did not work very well. I found the references fine and replaced as directed. Then it could not load the page.

Maybe you could take a second look at the code you provided and check for errors.

I will try to bump this up a bit.

Big Thx for this tut, worked well.

[Arebias]

I went back and looked at what I had, or had not, done correctly. It was, of-course, on my end and now it works great.

Thanks you for that fix.
