Date fields have a 'custom' format whose description contains a link to PHP's website. This patch makes this link open in a new window.

It uses target="_blank". This isn't considered standard, but we already have target="_blank" in the help files.

This patch is needed to make the Create a list of recent stories page simpler (it now contains a bulky explanation for opening a page in a new window).

(BTW, I searched the 'includes' source files for more external links, but couldn't find more.)

Thanks for making the page. The other good reason is that if the user doesn't know to open a new window or tab, some of the current settings on the views page get lost upon return.

Ok, makes sense. I hate taking people away from forms unexpectedly. COmmitted.
