Set target=”_blank” on links – open links in new tab

I couldn’t find any option to open slider banner links in a new tab/window so I have modified my site’s local code as follows:

in the “responsive_headerimageslider.php” file, under the array “extract(shortcode_atts….”

I have added the line:

“target_blank” => ”,

And then set that as:

if( $target_blank ) {
$target_blank = ” target=’_blank’ “;
}

Then in the “design” files echo out the var $target_blank:

a href=”<?php echo $sliderurl; ?>” <?php echo $target_blank ?> class=”image-link” > </a

Finally, when calling the slider just add the attribute target_blank=”true” where you want it:

echo do_shortcode(‘[sp_responsiveslider cat_id=”6″ speed=”5000″ autoplay_interval=”5000″ target_blank=”true”]’);

Hope this helps!
