New button opened in a new tab

[mtmd]

Hi,
I would like to know how can I add a new button, near "Reply", "Add Poll", etc.., that open a new tab or a popup. I've modified $normal_buttons, adding a new line and now the new button it's shown, but the link is opened in the same tab :/ how can i do?
Thank you

ps. Sorry for my poor english!

To open a new tab, I believe you need the target="_blank" thing, like this:

Code Select Expand

<a href="http://www.someurlcom/" target="_blank">Button text</a>

and your English is fine!

Hi, welcome to SMF.

To be more precise, add the following to 'url'

Code Select Expand


" target="_blank

So like for the "print" button, it would be done like this:

Code Select Expand


'print' => array('text' => 'print', 'image' => 'print.gif', 'lang' => true, 'custom' => 'rel="new_win nofollow"', 'url' => $scripturl . '?action=printpage;topic=' . $context['current_topic'] . '.0" target="_blank'),

Ta, matey!

No problem. Since the url is in an array it's not quite done in the conventional manner.

mtmd, if you do have any difficulties, please post the code you have added.

It's perfect! It works!
