Just a note: I've found this works great with "http://" or just "www." without "http://", but it doesn't work for "https://".

I assume that's missing in the ajax code, or something like that. I tried duplicating the second script tag group an changing the second group to ... $('a[href^="https://"]') ..., but that didn't work.

Oh well, that's not really very tragic, the rest works just fine, regardless of whether a forum member uses the url bbcode tags. Most don't. :|

Its annoying when another forum using the older phpbb 2.x has links opening up in a new window and then I find that my forum using phpbb 3.0.12 doesn't have this ability.

Soooooooo coming here and finding this MOD I thought 'Great!'.

Installed it and it did not work. It was added by hand, not through AUTOMOD.

Here is where I put it (code is right at the bottom of the following code in the header section of the overall_header.html file):

Code: Select all

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd">

Any idea why it doesn't work? Flushed cache twice, deleted file from server and re-uploaded the altered one. Still nothing.

Well..... I read another post about refreshing the template files, went and did it and the MOD worked. Wow!
Thank you for this MOD. Its awesome!

Here are the instructions I found:

Don't forget to refresh the appropriate style component after you have made all the changes by going to your Administration Control Panel => Styles => (Templates/Themes) => prosilver and click on refresh.

find:

Code: Select all

$(document).ready(function() {
      $('a[href^="http://"]').filter(function() {return this.hostname && this.hostname !== location.hostname;}).attr('target', '_blank');
   }); 
add after:

Code: Select all

$(document).ready(function() {
      $('a[href^="https://"]').filter(function() {return this.hostname && this.hostname !== location.hostname;}).attr('target', '_blank');
   });

Probably because of this line

Code: Select all

<script type="text/javascript" src="http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.4.4/jquery.min.js"></script>  
you probably have two jQuery libraries being loaded.

Thanks :)

I have this:

Code: Select all

<script type="text/javascript" src="{T_TEMPLATE_PATH}/jquery-1.9.1.min.js"></script>
And this:

Code: Select all

<script type="text/javascript" src="{ROOT_PATH}mchat/jquery-1.10.2.min.js"></script>
Do I need them both ?

Cheers

EDIT: solved..
Just replaced my code

Code: Select all

<script type="text/javascript" src="{T_TEMPLATE_PATH}/jquery-1.9.1.min.js"></script>
with this:

Code: Select all

<script type="text/javascript" src="http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.4.4/jquery.min.js"></script>         
<script type="text/javascript">                                         
   $(document).ready(function() {
      $('a[href^="http://"]').filter(function() {return this.hostname && this.hostname !== location.hostname;}).attr('target', '_blank');
   });
