Open in New Window command?

Nuke Cadet Joined: Apr 21, 2003 Posts: 5

is there such a command I could enter to have a certain page open in a new window?

We currently have one section of our site on a different host and want to have that page open in a new window to leave the Nuke in behind rather than change to another page.

Any suggestios would be greatly appreciated, thanks in advance for your time. Surprised

Depends how you are calling the page. If you are calling the page with hyperlink, then add the target="_newpage_" to the link:

Code:

Of cours _newPage_ can be whatever you want to name it. You can also use the JavaScript open() function. You can look that one up Wink

Hey Raven,
Thanks for your time. Here is the code for what I am attempting to do. The link is built into the top of a theme and i just can't get it to work with the code you gave me. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you again.

Code:

."<td height=\"20\" width=\"16%\" bgcolor=\"#C0C0C0\" class=\"navbox\" align=\"center\" style=\"cursor:hand\" onMouseOver=\"this.style.background='#808080'\" onMouseOut=\"this.style.background='#C0C0C0'\" onClick=\"window.location.href='http://fbforums.chicagoblastvbc.com/index.php'\">\n"
."<a class=\"topnav\" href=\"http://fbforums.chicagoblastvbc.com/index.php\">".Forums."</a>\n"
."</td>\n

I want a similar kinda solution. I mean when I click on the "Read More.." (that appears at the bottom of the news stories), the extended part should open in a new window.

Please help me, which file should I edit, and what'll be the new coding for it.

Open modules/news/index.php and look for:

$story_link = "<a href=\"article.html$s_sid$r_options\" >";

somewhere round line 105

change to

$story_link = "<a href=\"article.html$s_sid$r_options\" target=\"_blank\">";

and modules/news/categories.php approx line 77

change

$story_link = "<a href=\"article.html$s_sid$r_options\">";

to

$story_link = "<a href=\"article.html$s_sid$r_options\" target=\"_blank\">";

Hello,
I have been studying the above replies to solve my problem, but can't seem to get any of them to work:

I use the "downloads" module for .pdf files, and would like for each one to open up in a new window, as you click on it.

I've tried to change the admin/download.php, but to no avail - can anyone help?

Here's an example of one of my changes (search for first occurance of "fileurl" to see the original version):

Code:

.""._FILEURL.": <input type=\"text\" name=\"url\" value=\"$url\" size=\"50\" maxlength=\"100\">&[ <a href=\"$url\" target=\"new\">"._CHECK."</a> ]<br>"

Many, many thanks,
Susanne
