Open "Forum Links" in New Window?

[AFCassidy]

Hi all, I have a chat program that doesn't integrate with vBulletin... but I'd like to add a link on my forums. So, I was going to use a forum link (where it looks like a forum but is an external URL).

But... I need it to open in a new window and open without a toolbar. Is there any way to do this?

So you want a link to your forum and when it's clicked you want it to open in a new window without a toolbar right?

I think what he's getting at is when you set up a new forum in admincp you can make it a link by putting in the url of the page, i have for my flashchat. When you are on your forum the links are showed as forums but with no new post etc and when you click them it takes you to that page, but it will take you away from the forum, what he' is after is someone to make it possible to add an option when making this kind of link so it will open in a new window so his members can still browse his forum.

Exactly. And, if possible, an option to remove the toolbars from the new window that opens.

Something like:

onclick="window.open('index.php','SITE CHAT NAME','width=786,height=600,left='+((screen.width-786)/2)+',top='+((screen.height - 600)/2)+',toolbar=no,menubar=no,scrollbars=yes, status=no,resizable=no');"

?

Add that as a filed to a image or button that launches to your chat I think. Um, I'm in the right area, I've lost my resource now...

That's probably the right code, but it doesn't work if you put that in the field in the admin panel.

Anyone?
