Hello,

I can´t find any way to make URL´s in blocks open in a new window. I´ve added the old "target=_blank" after the path you type in the block configuration page and nothing happens. I used the same method to make the primary links open in a new window and that worked.

This must be used be many and seem trivial to many so could somebody give me a litle hint!?

It would be best if there was an option to make the links open in a new window or not in the block configuration page itself.

best regards, Logi

I'm not sure what you mean. If you say 'The path you type in the configuration page' & 'option to make the links open in a new window' it looks like you enter the paths in the wrong textfield.
What do you mean with 'nothing happens;?

Do you make a custom block with the blockcontents as:

<a href="http://example.com" target="_blank">Text</a>

The above works for me.

Try posting the html you use; perhaps a syntax error?

HI, and thanks for the swift reply!

Yes this was unclear. The blocks have menus in them and that is where I am typing the link:

http://www.somesite.com/admin/menu/item/edit/592

There we have a path field: that has this link for example:

https://ugla.khi.is/kennsluskra/index.php?tab=skoli&chapter=content&id=9...

What do I have to do to get it to open in a new window? I tried adding /"target="_blank" to the end like it did with my primary links URL and it still opens in the same window (= nothing new happens)

What am I doing wrong here??

thanks, Logi
