How create a link like this?

[Havouza]

I have some links in the footer. One should go to an external page and I want it to open in a new tab. So I wrote it like this www.example.com/index.php target="_blank" The links are saved in a table The target attribute is shown when I hover the link but it does open in the same window when I click on it. Is there some other way to do this else than the obvious, right click

Can you post a link to your site?

[Havouza]

www.host-thirty.com I am working with the footer. It is the link to control panel

[wakabayashi]

You have html error in it. You mess up with quote sign (").

Yours: <a href="https://webadmin-lin.demo.plesk.com:8443/smb target =&quot;_blank&quot;" title="Plesk Control Panel">Plesk Control Panel</a>

Correct: <a href="https://webadmin-lin.demo.plesk.com:8443/smb" target ="_blank" title="Plesk Control Panel">Plesk Control Panel</a>

The problem is that I can only save the clean link in the db. Need to look into the tpl I think

[Havouza]

the error you see happened because I tried to save the target also and it is not possible

[Havouza]

This is the code in the tpl. To me it looks if a target is hardcoded here, all links will open in a new tab. Solution for that is to only place links here that should open outside the shop

            <ul id="footercustom_link_informations">
                <li class="footercustom_link_title footercustom_title">{$blocktitle1|escape:'html':'UTF-8'}</li>
                {foreach from=$blocks1 item=block name=loop}
                    <li>{if $block.link}<a href="{$block.link|escape:'html':'UTF-8'}" title="{$block.title|escape:'html':'UTF-8'}">{/if}{if $block.title}{$block.title|escape:'html':'UTF-8'}{/if}{if $block.link}</a>{/if}</li>
                {/foreach}
            </ul>

Unless you have enough skills to modify the module to have a checkbox to determine target (blank or self) for each link.

[Havouza]

Me? 62 y o fart. I doubt it. I probably have to ask someone about where to place the target code ;-) I often use trial and error but I have just broken one shop so I must admit my limitations

Yeah you could solve it in your tpl file. The solution which comes to my mind is a bit ugly. But you could use something like: {if $block.id==anynumber}target="_blank"{/if}

I don't use this module, so I don't know if you have access to the id...

[Havouza]

@wakabayashi yes I have access to the ID. Where should this code be placed please?

[wakabayashi]

```

• {$blocktitle1|escape:'html':'UTF-8'}
{foreach from=$blocks1 item=block name=loop}
• {if $block.link}{/if}{if $block.title}{$block.title|escape:'html':'UTF-8'}{/if}{if $block.link}{/if}
{/foreach}

```

Try it like this...

[Havouza]

Worked like a dream. THANKS, I own you one!

[wakabayashi]

You are welcome! Feel free to mark it as "solved".

[Havouza]

How do I do that?

[wakabayashi]

There is a menu "topic tools". I can do it there. But not sure, if it is because I am moderator. Anyway: somebody did it :D

[Havouza]

Yes I found it. Have done. Thanks. Back to the footer
