Open link in new window?

From the main category window (where the images scroll through giving different headlines) is there a way to change options so that some can open in new windows, others can open in main window?

I want to use this to link to some of my own articles, as well as link to outside sources, but anything "outside" i want to open in a new window so that people aren't driven away from my site.

You can use metod described here:

Please post an URL to your site, and I'll provide more detailed description on how to do it.

if possible, i'd rather just edit the .php file, wherever it's located, to add the target="_blank" attribute

can you tell me which file would control those links?

Is there a chance you could post an url to site where you would like to make the change and make a screenshot of elements that should have this functionality?

we can use this, since it's the same thing, i dont want to publicly post a domain

If i want to open "Avatar-The Game" in a new window instead of the current window, that's what I'm aiming to achieve.

I would suggest to stick to JS method, only modify it so it address only this module:

Code: Select all

$('#gkHeader a.gkIsTextItem').each(function() {
   var a = new RegExp('/' + window.location.host + '/');
   if(!a.test(this.href)) {
       $(this).click(function(event) {
           event.preventDefault();
           event.stopPropagation();
           window.open(this.href, '_blank');
       });
   }
});


Creating such method in php would require writing new functionalities to our modules, and sadly this is beyond our support.
