How to have redirect boards open in a new tab or window?

[ApplianceJunk]

Is there a setting that lets you choice to open a redirect board in a new tab?

If not can the code be easily manually edited to allow redirect boards to open in a new tab?

Thanks,

There is not a setting for it. I remember adding one being a pain in the crotch.

If you want it on a per board setup, it's a real pain, though doing it for all redirect boards is not so bad.

Doing it for all redirect boards is what I had in mind.

Could you give me some direction on how to go about it?

Thanks,

[Arantor]

Sure, edit BoardIndex.template.php (and this will be pretty much as-is again in MessageIndex.template.php if you have child boards that are redirects)

Code Select Expand

<td class="info">
<a class="subject" href="', $board['href'], '" name="b', $board['id'], '">', $board['name'], '</a>';

Code Select Expand

<td class="info">
<a class="subject" href="', $board['href'], '" name="b', $board['id'], '"', $board['is_redirect'] ? ' target="_blank"' : '', '>', $board['name'], '</a>';

That worked great, thanks!

Glad to hear.

I just noticed when I click on the redirect icon it opens the board in the same window.

How would I edit the code so clicking on the redirect icon also opens the redirect board in a new window?

It could be this line:

Code Select Expand

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

May be change it to: ?

Code Select Expand

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

ahrasis, that did not seem to work.

I get this when I tried it.

Code Select Expand

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_CONSTANT_ENCAPSED_STRING in /home/applianc/public_html/forums/Themes/default/BoardIndex.template.php on line 186

Try this instead.

Code Select Expand


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

Kays, that works great. Thanks.

[ApplianceJunk]

Kays, after some more testing it does not work as I had in mind.

Your edit ends up opening all the board icons in new tabs. I would like to have just the redirect icons open in new tabs, if that is possible.

Thanks,

[Arantor]

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"' : '', '>';

Arantor, that works great! Thank you.

I was just looking at the code you provided originally to the code I have been giving for the redirect icon and thinking I must need a $board['is_redirect'] in there someplace, but did not know how to go about it.

Maybe someday I will be able to figure more of this stuff out on my own.

Thanks everyone.

Sorry for the trouble ApplianceJunk. And thanks for the above guide guys. I am learning a lot on how code and to place the code at the right place today.

[ApplianceJunk]

No trouble at all.

Hi,

I am trying to use this plugin but couldn't find the code that is mentioned in my forum. I am using vertex theme.

Please help in using this plugin successfully.
