Is it possible to let links open in a new window?

What needs to be customized?

Would be nice to have an answer. I also need the links opened in a new window, but it seems this would have to be changed in many different places adding a "target=_blank" to the HREF. Is there an easier way? Thanks for a reply.

Hello,

Well, the main reason why we haven't put it as a setting in Admin - there are a lot templates which can work in different way from each our. For example in one place you want links to open in a new window when in another you don't. That's why we decided that you can simply change the Item template yourself and set it the way you like.

General Link element template is "default/inlink/link_element.tpl" and there you need to add a target="_blank" to the following code:

<a href="<inp:link _field="redirect&quot/>&quottarget="_blank"><inp:link _field="name&quot/></a>

. For your reference - "default/inlink/detail.tpl" template is a link "details" template.

Thank you.

Hello Maria,

Is there anywhere we can see your In-portal installation in order to troubleshoot the problem?

Thanks.
