Open navigation buttons in new tab?

[JoeBrodsky]

Hey guys I'm trying to figure out when you click a button on the navigation bar for it to open a new tab rather than taking you away from the actual website. 

I posted a picture below, for example when I click "Eastern Conference"  I want the google doc to open up in a new tab rather than taking you off the website.

how did you add them?

how did you add them?

I have some of them left normally on the original navigation bar, the others such as League Docs and Rosters tabs are used from the
6 Custom Buttons mod

according to the mod you just insert full url for external links to make them open in new window well I dont think you can with that mod maybe need to add them all in subs.php

What would I need to add in the subs.php to get the links to open in new tabs?

[Deaks]

firstly do you know how to add new tabs in subs.php?

[JoeBrodsky]

Nope lol

One thing...   if you are using a mod and you have quesitons on how to use that mod or how to modify the mod to do something, you really need to be asking those questions in the support topic dedicated to that mod.

How do I add buttons to SMF 2.0?

This will help

To make it open in new window you need to add

                  'target' => "_blank",

To the code for a new window

[Steve]

'target' => "_blank",

Is that a typo or something new or the same as target="_blank" which is what I thought it was. That's been from years ago though.

[Matthew K.]

Same thing. I'd use single-quotes though to be consistent.

[Kindred]

AFAIK, you need the single quotes, because in this case, the target is part of the button array....  not an html value

Like Bryan said; the 'target' => "_blank", is the way to go. Click on the link below, and it will show you exactly where to put it in your subs.php

Actually, I meant this bit:

=> instead of just =

[Deaks]

Steve

target="_blank" is for html

as in the subs the button is not being built by html its slightly different

[Steve]

Ah, okay. I understand now. Thanks.

You can use single quotes or double quotes as array values. It doesn't matter.

[Kindred]

Lab... you missed my point...  Steve was asking about using title = instead of 'title' =>
I caught and covered the explanation for the first bit (the quotes) and br30 saw the part that I missed (the = versus =>) and clarified that..
