open links in new tab

Hello,

If you are talking about custom field links they should open in a new window by default if its an external URL, we have a filter to prevent it.

Maybe we are not talking about the same thing? Can you provide and example link?

Thanks,

Hi Stiofan,

I am still on a test-environment. But we can use the demo site:

https://demos.ayecode.io/elementor-real-estate-directory/

The links to the detail-pages* should open in a seperate browser-tab. I cannot add target=”_blank” as the links are generated by the script…

How do I do that?

Regards,

Erik

Ah, i understand you now. If you are using a page builder it might be different but if you are using our shortcodes/blocks then this code snippet will make that happen:

add_filter('geodir_widget_post_title_output','_my_open_gd_title_new_window',15,6);
function _my_open_gd_title_new_window($output, $title_tag, $instance, $args, $content, $widget ){
	
	return $output ? str_replace('href=','target="blank" href=',$output) : $output;
}

Its a bit more complicated to do this for the images but if you really need that let me know and i will provide a snippet.

Thanks,

Stiofan

P.S. you can install the plugni “code snippets” to add the above code snippet.

Thank you Stiofan, that works!

Talking about pagebuilders: I also made a sidebar with “events” with the help of Elementor. (In Elementor, I added GD>Post Meta for adding the link to the event).

I would like to do the same there (apply a filter hook to open events in new tab). However, I am having a hard time finding the right name of the filter to use… Do you have any tips?

Are you using the pro version? I think it can be done with their post title element if so?
