Open Website Links In New Window

Hi Dave,

This is already possible in 3.0.2. When you make a field of type URL, simply check “open in a new window” inside Manage Form Fields for that field.

You can also make it nofollow if you like as well.

Excellent! Thank you and I apologize for the dumb question ??

Hi

What if I want the single listing’s page to be open in a new window/tab?
F.e. after clicking listing title or thumbnail in excerpt?

Pawe?

Hi Pawel,

Right now, we don’t have a configuration option for that. The listing detail views will open in the same window. URL fields that you define on the listing can support the new window/same window link setting above.

Hi

Thanks for your reply. Is there any way to modify one of the files to get the same result? Add target=”_blank” somewhere?

Yes, I’m sure there is. I’ll have to ask my developer specifically where, but he’s unavailable for a few days. I’ll let you know when I hear back.

OK, he responded more quickly than I thought:

There are two ways you could gain access to the detailed view of a listing: by clicking the link on the “Business Name” field or by clicking the “View” button.
Changing the behavior for the link can be done by modifying function get_field_html_value() inside form-fields.php (around line 71) and changing

$value = sprintf( '<a href="%s">%s</a>', get_permalink( $post_id ), get_the_title( $post_id ) );

to

$value = sprintf( '<a href="%s" target="_blank">%s</a>', get_permalink( $post_id ), get_the_title( $post_id ) );

Notice the target=”_blank” addition.

As for the “View” button refer to the file templates/parts/listing-buttons.tpl.php around line 15. Change

onclick="window.location.href = '<?php the_permalink(); ?>' "

to

onclick="window.open('<?php the_permalink(); ?>', '_blank');"

That should do the trick.
