Only External Links Open in New Windows
 

This hack modifies the [url] tag such that links that point outside of your forums' URL open in new windows. Links that point to anything in your domain open in the same window.

Screenshot not applicable.

heh i never realised that they opened in the same window anyways, lol anyways nice hack

/me clicks install

They don't; by default all [url] links open in new windows, regardless of the URL.

Nice, but when you have a shoutbox/vbchat on the index it opens links in the chat and not as a new page. :confused:

That's because it's an iframe...

Your code is wrong in the instructions file.

This:

return "<a href=\"$righturl\" target=\"blank\">".str_replace('\"', '"', $hyperlink)."</a>";

should be this:

return "<a href=\"$righturl\" target=\"_blank\">".str_replace('\"', '"', $hyperlink)."</a>";

You missed the underscore. ;)

Gah, fixed :)

Excellent hack!
I was waiting for a long time for that.
Clicks install!

Do you know if this hack will also work with VbPortal? Do you know if I need to change anything else in VbPortal or just this hack in VBulletin? Any help on this would be greatly apreciated.

Thanks.

Best regards,
Bob :confused:

If vBPortal uses vB's code parsing functions then it will work.

Does not work with VbPortal at all. It works as long as your in the Forum tab area but I added this hack and no change to my site or pages at all. Still opens new page when you click below on either home or contact us. Do you see any other ways around this? Thanks.

Regards,
Bob

I don't know. I don't officially support his hack, especially when it comes to interactions between other hacks.

Finally got it to work. I was placing "target=blank" in the field which will indeed place another page in the way.

So far so good ... My screw up .. I am still in the learning phase of all this.
