Custom menu item open in new browser

[Greg]

This is a custom link added to our navigation menu on our forum. We have no problem opening all others within the forum (on the same browser window) but it would be nice when our Home Page is clicked to open in a new browser window. This way they are not taken away from the forum but just a new window.

All help is greatly appreciated.

BTW, AYC-Home is not the index page of the forum but our main web site.

Anyone? Anything?

Ryan Roos said that I could probably get help with this here. Was he wrong?

Hi Greg

Yes, I do this on my menu for a couple items.  If you look on the Template Modifications Index (32)  you'll see an item listed for Make Admin Menu Button Open A New Tab.

After you modify the template by adding in

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

the final code looks like this, the maroon text being the added section:

<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]">

All I did was insert another instance of the

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

but change the name from Admin (the menu item name) to Support (the other menu item name), so my line now looks like this:

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

You can keep adding as many menu items as you want in this manner, but the name that's in the " " MUST be exactly as you have name it on the menu.

Cheers

Thank you so very much DeltaDart for pointing me in the right direction and thanks to Shorty for the article. Shorty has been helpful to me and so many since v5 has turned out.

THANKS AGAIN!
