Opening Forum page in new window

[Disco_Stu]

Anyone know how to open the Forum page as a new tab on the browser without closing the CMS page?

You could do something like edit the navbar template and find:

<a href="{vb:link forumhome}">


(which seems to occur three times for some reason) and replace it with

<a href="{vb:link forumhome}" target="vbforum">


This has one flaw (that I know of) - if you arrive on the forum page from somewhere other than the CMS page then press the Forum button, it will open another window/tab on the same page. Maybe someone can figure out how to get around that. (I'm not sure why the forum button is even active when you're already there).

That worked great! But now when I press Home from the forum screen it opens another home page in the current forum tab instead of returning to the original home page.

I guess this isn't going to work because every article I click on in CMS refreshes the CMS page and that restarts the MP3 player.

I think I'll create a new nav tab and put the player on a separate page

Thanks

I guess that last comment was intended for your mp3 player thread? Anyway, I didn't think of the problem with going back to the CMS page. I don't really know how to handle that. Maybe there's some way to set the window name so you could set it depending on whether it's a CMS page or a forum page, then set the button links to target the right window.

Hopefully someone else will know if this can be done.
