Open in new window code for file system.

[fPortal]

I have been looking and cannot find this.
On my file system, I have my lists of folders and files, but I have a link as well.  Is there a way to make that link open in a new window like with a target command?

[fPortal]

Nevermind, I found a way in the template file.

Thank you anyway.

I was trying to locate the code I was given before for the same thing and I cant find my original post anywhere!.. would you mind sharing how you did it?

it would be greatly appreciated

mmm, i think this behavior should be included in the default template.

if no one disagrees with this, i will just go this way.

[chthonic]

LOL hi rejetto!


it would be a very useful thing.... even tho I searched the template code and made manual changes... it was still a bit of a task.. to make sure I didnt mess anything else up.

this would also prevent users from accidentally navigating away from the host site

Would be OK, but it can be done when setting url for link in vfs like:

Code: [Select]

http://www.google.com/"target=blank"

[rejetto]

this test should be ok to detect URLs outside hfs

check url for "://" and not (%host% or %ip%)

in template macros translates to

{.and| {.pos|://|%item-url%.} | {.not|{.pos|%host%|%item-url%.}{.pos|%ip%|%item-url%.}.}

I just added the target=_blank to the two sections in terayon 1.3.2 that handle URL's

as I said.. had to be very careful and make sure I wasnt messing up other links

having this be a default function is less hassle

There are also many cases where we dont want that a link opens a new browserwindow. If the user want's to open the link in a new window or tab, he can already do so rightclicking on the link.

[chthonic]

that's why they are called "options"

one could be to open in a new window.. another could be to force it to open in a frame and keep it on the same site with navigation.. that way you can view the external and still not leave the HFS server.

I use picture galleries because 250+ images load faster than if I used the thumbnail generator for the template... as a result.. its less hassle for those to open as a new window.

it's a simple matter regarding "ease of use"

I have several people asking me how to setup HFS and stunnel etc... more than willing to show them how.. but they aren't as computer technical as I am.. so they need easier options.

ok. you suggest it is not good that we do it always (by default) ?

i will delay this thing so that we can decide for the better.
maybe an option in the gui is the correct solution.
a global option, or inside the link itself.
unsure.

very nice workaround!

[chthonic]

make it an option in the gui.. that way we can decide on a per link basis.. something like...

option1: default = open in same window
option2: open in new tab
option3: open in new window

with additional option to make it the default behavior ... which can be over-ridden by custom link settings such as...

LINK OPTIONS: then can choose how that particular link works

Found r][m solution very good, simple and effective.

[rejetto]

there's nothing i can do to decide to open in tab or window.
this depends on the browser.
i guess a flag "open in new window" in the link properties is a good solution.

r][m solution is good, but cannot be thought as general solution for the masses.
