URLs opening in same window

[allkary]

Hello, I'm pretty new here and I'm having some issues in setting up the forum correctly. I'm working on it for about a week but I keep reading this forum to solve my problems. I have really no knowledge of coding, I'm a blogger and all I know is writing and keeping a community so, please, don't be mad at me for asking this very question 
Well, I installed the Sunshine theme, I bought a premium SEO mod and I have few other mods installed like smilies, custom tabs, Global Headers Footers and Ad Management.
Well, I found out that all my posted links do open in the same window even if with firebug I see the Target=blank correctly working. I made a forum search and I've read of someone asking about iurls but I don't really know what that means and how to fix that. I also tried to delete all plugins (so much work!) and nothing changed.
Can anyone please help me in debugging my forum?

Thank you so much for helping!

You have the url bbcode which forces links into a new tab/window. The iurl bbcode behaves exactly the same as the url bbcode except without pushing it to a new tab.

Wait... Actually it's the default behaviour. If you click on something it opens in the same page... It's like this everywhere :| and if you need to open something in a new tab just right click on it and ress open in a new tab? Or use the [nobbc][url][/nobb] tag;)
P.s. Italiano pure io

EDIT: ninja'd, gf's fault v.v

I thought that SMF behaviour was set to open links in new tabs. Well, this is what should happen looking at the source code of that link I posted in previous message

Code Select Expand

<a href="http://www.latorredicotone.com/forum/seored/u=aHR0cDovL3BlcmxhY3JvY2hldC5ibG9nc3BvdC5pdC8yMDEzLzA4L3R1dG9yaWFsLWx1bWFjaGluYS5odG1s" rel="nofollow" onclick="recordOutboundLink(this, 'Outbound Links', 'http://perlacrochet.blogspot.it/2013/08/tutorial-lumachina.html'); return false;" class="bbc_link new_win" target="_blank">Perlacrochet: Tutorial Lumachina</a>

The " class="bbc_link new_win" target="_blank"" is what should make it opening outside the forum, isn't it?

@Ninja: buono a sapersi

[Arantor]

Yes, it is that. And it is done that way because the url bbcode is what makes it do that. If you don't want that, use iurl bbcode instead.

[allkary]

I do definitely want that, but it doesn't work.

[Arantor]

How are you putting links in, exactly?

Because this works:
https://www.google.com/

Code Select Expand

[iurl]https://www.google.com/[/iurl]

[allkary]

The one I posted above is a user link and is make using the [url] tag, I saw it editind her post.

[allkary]

Sorry for bothering, I know you have many things to do other than looking at my problem but I was wondering if there should be a way to overwrite the code using a "Important" tag or something like that?

[supernova777]

you can also do it like this:

Code Select Expand

[iurl="http://google.com"]click me[/iurl]

click me

What do you mean with "important" tag? O.O
Btw there is a custom BBC mod if you need it... Even if I think that it's not really what you are looking for: http://custom.simplemachines.org/mods/index.php?mod=3864

No, there isn't. The only option you have without redefining the url bbcode is the iurl bbcode as already outlined.

you can also do it like this:

Code Select Expand

[iurl="http://google.com']click me[/iurl]

click me

Wrong.
[iurl=http://google.com]Whatever[/iurl] is correct

EDIT: lol it was edited for good

[allkary]

Doesn't the IURL code open links in same window?

[Arantor]

Yes it does. That's the difference - url always opens to an external window, iurl always opens to the same window, like has been said already.

The i stands for internal - the idea being that you would use that for internal links within the site.

[allkary]

I'm sorry, I guess I did not explain my problem clearly.
Currently all the links people add to their posts do open in the same window, even if the code seems working fine (I inspected the link with firebug and everything is ok). I was wondering how this happened and if there is a way to make it working the correct way. My installation is brand new, I've just few mods installed and I never touched the code myself.

In this post you can see an example of link a user adeed, opening in same window http://www.latorredicotone.com/forum/index.php?topic=34.0 [nofollow]

[Kindred]

Well, their statements were partially incorrect.

By default, the URL tag opens a page without any argument on the link tag...

Which means that the link will default to the behavior of the BROWSER settings.  So, if they have set their browser settings to use the same window, that is what the URL tag will trigger.

The iurl tag specifically called out to use the same window.

[Arantor]

One of your mods has broken it. If you examine the link in your post, you will see there is an onclick event attached to that link, which is doing something to break the link's behaviour. Since that's not standard SMF code... it must be a mod you've installed.

By default, the URL tag opens a page without any argument on the link tag...

The url bbcode explicitly declares target=_blank as per lines 1568 and 1578, vs iurl which does not pre-empt any browser behaviour as per lines 1289 and 1299.

[allkary]

Yes and my code do have the target=blank tag, but still it doesn't work. Of course I don't want my users to leave the forum when following links.

Then you need to remove whatever mod it is that has been added, because all the additional code relating to outbound links is interfering so that it will work as it is supposed to.
