No more links in new window?

Thanks, I was able to make "external" links in posts/signatures open in a new window by enabling the "Open posted links in a new window?" option in ACP and rebuilt content. However the previous version of IPB (2.3.x) used to open "internal" links posted in posts/signatures also to open in a new window as well. Is there any way to enable that in IPB 3?


You would need to modify public/js/ipb.js to do that.

I believe this is the code snippet in that file:



Could you please let me know how it should look like to make that setting?

        /* ------------------------------ */

        /**

         * Open the link in a new window

         *

         * @param       {event}         e               The event

         * @param       {boolean}       force   Force new window regardless of host?

        */

        openNewWindow: function(e, link, force)

        {

                var ourHost     = document.location.host;

                var newHost = link.host;


                /**

                 * Open a new window, if link is to a different host

                 */

                if( ourHost != newHost || force )

                {

                        window.open(link.href);

                        Event.stop(e);

                        return false;

                }

                else

                {

                        return true;

                }

        },

After

var newHost = link.host;

add

force = true


That would do it.

Thanks, I tried that and Rebuilt content however its still opening in the same page for internal links.

Use the peer to peer forums if you need help modifying the software. Was posting a quick example of one way that you should be able to accomplish it - if that didn't work, better to use the resource forums.
