How and where can i change it so when a members name is clicked it will open in a new window?
Re: open new window when click username
Whereabouts, board-wide or just in the topics?
Re: open new window when click username
board-wide would be nice
Re: open new window when click username
I am not 100% sure it is that easy. Check out a mod called 'Prime Links' over at phpBB and also check any contrib folder on the download, as got a feeling primehalo made it possible for other link formats to open in new windows too (as opposed to just topics and post links)
See what is missing after installing that and we can work it out. For instance, it may be easy enough to target=_blank on the author call in viewtopic profiles as a start.

Re: open new window when click username
Thanks, just installed this mod. There is a user website format in the contrib folder that i have also done.
In-line Add after
On testing on my forum the user websites in all areas still open in the same window? I'll have a look at the other files in the contrib folder.
Code: Select all
href="{memberrow.U_WWW}"
Code: Select all
{EXTERNAL_LINK_TARGET}
Re: open new window when click username
Sadly this MOD does not seem to want to open anything in a new window. I'm using the latest version of phpbb3 and wonder if this MOD is out of date?
Re: open new window when click username
no it is not out of date, i am using it in about three sites running the newest version of phpbb, and it works perfectly!
Re: open new window when click username
Ahhh right ok, well i'm not sure why it wont work on my board then? maybe another mod is stopping that 1 from working correctly? it's a very quick simple mod and i've checked everything several times, so i'm unsure why that wont work?cisco007 wrote:no it is not out of date, i am using it in about three sites running the newest version of phpbb, and it works perfectly!
Re: open new window when click username
without really knowing what the mods that you have installed, it would be hard to really know the problem! and maybe a link to your site, to check it out!
Re: open new window when click username
As far as I am aware, Prime Links only opens posted links in new window, but I as sure there were some other edits in a contrib for other links in forum.
Remember to refresh template cache after any changes you do the files.
Just wondered why you wanted the usernames in new windows, wouldn't that get annoying having masses of tabs/windows open.
