[ABD] Opening External Link in New Window

[digioz]

Modification Name: Opening External Link in New Window
Author: digioz

Modification Description: Open External URL in a New Window
Modification Version: 1.0.0

Requirements: None
Supported PHPBB Versions: 3.0.8, 3.0.9, 3.0.10

Download: link_mod_1.0.0.zip
Source Code: DigiOz Github phpbb-mods

Demo: Demo Forum

Description: I was looking for this feature and the existing mods related to this subject all involved making changes to the actual database records, and I didn't want to do that. So this is an alternate way to open all external links using jQuery library




Update:
7/28/11 - Added ModX Installer Download Link for installing through AutoMod.

• Open the file "./styles/prosilver/template/overall_header.html (repeat for all other styles).
• Add the following code to the header region of the template (~line 92)

  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');
     });                     
  </script>
  

That's all!

Brilliant … I added it after this ..

Code: Select all

<!-- IF not S_USER_LOGGED_IN and not S_IN_UCP -->
	<form action="{U_LOGIN_LOGOUT}" method="post">
		<table class="toplogin" cellspacing="0">
		    <tr>
		        <td><span class="gensmall">{L_USERNAME}:</span></td>
		        <td><input class="post" type="text" name="username" size="10" style="width: 75px" /></td>
		        <td nowrap="nowrap"><input type="checkbox" checked="true" class="radio" name="autologin" /><span style="vertical-align: middle;" class="gensmall">{L_LOG_ME_IN}</span></td>
		    </tr>
		    <tr>
		        <td><span class="gensmall">{L_PASSWORD}:</span></td>
		        <td><input class="post" type="password" name="password" size="10" style="width: 75px" /></td>
		        <td><input type="submit" class="btnmain" name="login" value="{L_LOGIN}" /></td>
		    </tr>
		</table>
		{S_FORM_TOKEN}
	</form>
	<!-- ENDIF -->

I don't know why I put it there,, But it works just fine..

Thank You...

[digioz]

You could do that. I included it in the header region because that's the recommended place for it. Doesn't mean it won't work elsewhere though.

[artikkk]

not work for me.. please tell me where i place your code

[digioz]

The code goes in the overall header file, right before the </head> tag. Make sure to clear cache once you have made the change for it to take effect.

Thank you. Everything works fine.

so this will automatically open external links in a new window? instead of the target="">

Correct. This gives you an easy and clean way to open up all external hyperlinks in new windows.

I am not familiar with slimbox. Do you have a link for it?

As for the beta stage download link, I wasn't aware this was required. I will put a modx package together for this as soon as I find the time.
