Description

Simple feature request to have an option to have the link to terms/policies page to open in a new(_blank) or parent (_self) window. Someone mentioned it in a different issue and offered a "quick and dirty" patch of code to accomplish it. Just making a formal request for it.

I suggest to give it a higher priority since that improve usability remarkably.

This is workaround I'm using before the issue is resolved:
1. Create the TOU page
2. Create a jumper page, title it as Agreement or the like. Include a line like "I have read and understand TOU", linking the text to the above real TOU page, with target="_blank".
3. Set the jumper page as the TOU page in the module
4. Don't use @link - then the content of jumper page will be show and user can click it for TOU content, in a new window.

Bad to admin but perfect to end users :-)

I'm not sure why a patch would be necessary? Read the README.txt file. You can theme the terms of use anyway you like in template.php.

Thanks for the tips on theme. That's good but an option on admin UI would be better? Anyway, the theme solution is good enough.
