Internal links

[DemOnstar]

How do I get links to open in the same tab instead of another one?
I think I remember having the same problem with 4 but it has been so long that I have forgotten.

Thanks. . .

Try changing the target attribute to target="_self" to the anchor (<a></a>) tag(s). Since this is the default, you could simply remove the target="_blank" from the anchor, and this should work too.

earlier versions of vb4 had this issue, but it was later corrected. I used to have a plugin which fixed it, but not sure if I still have the code lying around.

wouldn't that change all links, not just internal ones?

I wasn't sure, but I thought perhaps there was a specific link (or links) in certain templates that the OP wanted to change.

Otherwise, changing all internal links could likely be done using javascript, as expressed by Joe in his product:

Open Internal Links in Same Tab - Ported by BOP5 (VB 4.x & VB 3.x)

Cool, I figured there was a plugin out there for it

I used the the product mentioned but I thought it was for 4?
I notice that all links open up a new tab in 5 and perhaps 4 was the same? Sometimes it is useful and other times not, so I guess each individual link has to be changed rather than a global solution.

Okay. . . .Thanks for the pointers. . .

The product linked is for 4, Mark was just giving it as an example.
I do not have a license for 5, so I really can't help much more, as I cannot look at the code, but I'm pretty sure a plugin will be required.

I checked it and noticed this. . .

I think I may try it in 5 and see what happens . . .

Cheers. . .

It went like this. . .

The following dependencies were not met:

    This product is not compatible with version 5.1.10 of vBulletin. (Compatible starting with 3.6.0 / Incompatible with 5.0.0 and greater)

Worth a try. . .

And for your curiosity, this is what the .xml looks like.
