Open attachments in new window (User Selection)
 

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

you want this hack? Go to my site...

1 query just for this ?

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.

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

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

cool idea

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

why not just use a user profile field ?

you could do that as well.

i don't know why they changed this in 3.03. sucks ass

Cause it don't meet XHTML standereds

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 you would like to make it standard, then put the following condition inside:
questions?

Was just gonna post that Scotty. :)

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

And thanks to both

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:// This works :)

nothing is working

sorry, you are right!

You're hack does not work for me.
