Make Admin Menu Button Open A New Tab

[Shorty]

If you are like me, and you hate having to navigate away from the forum when needing to make some admin edits. This modification will make the Admin menu button open in a new tab. Yes, you could just right click, but is for those don't want to do that every time. lol

Go to Admin Home > Themes > Layout Templates > Forum Wrapper

Find this line. On(or around) line 26.


<a{if $[navigation.menu.active]} class="state-active"{/if} href="$[navigation.menu.href]" accesskey="$[navigation.menu.accesskey]">


Add this to it right after the {/if}


 {if $[navigation.menu.name] == "Admin"}target="_blank"{/if} 


So now it should look like this.


<a{if $[navigation.menu.active]} class="state-active"{/if} {if $[navigation.menu.name] == "Admin"}target="_blank"{/if} href="$[navigation.menu.href]" accesskey="$[navigation.menu.accesskey]">



Note: If you changed the text that shows for your admin button then you will need to replace "Admin" with whatever you put.

Hope this helps!

I couldn't get it to work first off and couldn't get into my admin to fixed it up

but after fooling around a bit I got into the admin and fixed it all up

don't worry I fix it all up I didn't have a space between {/if} and {if}


 and it works great

Help Shorty

I put this code into my board now I can't get into the Admin section at all

Try this link, see if it works;

auusie-policy-news.freemessageboards.com/admin

If so, head into the Forum Wrapper template, and post the navigation bar bit for us to have a look at. =]
