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

Please click the install button if you use.

Enjoy!

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?

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://

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

This works
