Open attachments in new window (User Selection)

[Logikos]

This will give your users the option to open attachments in a new window. I wrote this cause i see some people like the fact that vB doesn't open a new window for attachments. But some people do like that, like myself. So why not make everyone happy :p

1 query just for this ?

[Logikos]

Well if you can come up with a no query way then that would be better, it only took me 15 mins to write the hack, and i found that to be the best way ATM.

1 query just for this ?
How do you figure it is adding an extra query? It looks like it is using the query that is already there to me. ;)

[Logikos]

i need to add that query too store the info for each user.

[alkatraz]

cool idea

i just hold SHIFT when I click to open any link in a new window (in IE)

[Zachery]

why not just use a user profile field ?

[Logikos]

you could do that as well.

Cause it don't meet XHTML standereds

[scotty]

there is a way to implement that feature *without* hacking the files (/me looks at zachery :) ):

- add a new user profile field: Single-Selection Radio Buttons
- title: "Open attachment in new window?"
- in options put "yes" and "no"
- after creating the field, remember the field number (e.g. 25)
- look into the "postbit_attachment*" templates and put into the href-tag (just before the closing ">" the following condition:
<if condition="($bbuserinfo[field25]=="yes")"> target="_blank"</if>
if you would like to make it standard, then put the following condition inside:
<if condition="(($bbuserinfo[field25]=="yes") OR ("$bbuserinfo[field25]==""))"> target="_blank"</if>
questions?

Was just gonna post that Scotty. :)

<if condition="($bbuserinfo[field25]=="yes")"> target="_blank"<if>


<if condition="(($bbuserinfo[field25]=="yes") OR ("$bbuserinfo[field25]==""))"> target="_blank"<if>

isn't the last <if> in both line supposed to be </if> :)

And thanks to both

[Natch]

If you still wanted xhtml compliance regardless of what the user has selected, why not use onclick="if(window.open(this.href)) return false" as the statement in the conditional?

EDIT:// <if condition="$bbuserinfo[fieldxx]=='Yes'||$bbuserinfo[fieldxx]==''"> onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;"</if>This works :)

[cnczone]

nothing is working

[scotty]

isn't the last <if> in both line supposed to be </if> :)

[cnczone]
