Hi guys,

I'm working in Propulsion and have the Twitter widget added to the side bar. Now I noticed that all social buttons open links within the same window. What/where do I need to change that to have it open in a new window?

Thanks.

Open up propulsion\footer.php and replace:

<ul class="social_bookmarks">
							<?php 

							//contact icon
							$contact_page_id = avia_get_option('email_page');
			                if (function_exists('icl_object_id')) $contact_page_id = icl_object_id($contact_page_id, 'page', true);  //wpml prepared
							if($contact_page_id) echo "<li class='mail'><a href='".get_permalink($contact_page_id)."'>".__('Send us Mail', 'avia_framework')."</a></li>";

							if($dribbble = avia_get_option('dribbble')) echo "<li class='dribbble'><a href='http://dribbble.com/".$dribbble."'>".__('Follow us on dribbble', 'avia_framework')."</a></li>";
							if($twitter = avia_get_option('twitter')) echo "<li class='twitter'><a href='http://twitter.com/".$twitter."'>".__('Follow us on Twitter', 'avia_framework')."</a></li>";
							if($facebook = avia_get_option('facebook')) echo "<li class='facebook'><a href='".$facebook."'>".__('Join our Facebook Group', 'avia_framework')."</a></li>";

							 ?>

							<li class='rss'><a href="<?php avia_option('feedburner',get_bloginfo('rss2_url')); ?>"><?php _e('Subscribe to our RSS Feed', 'avia_framework')?></a></li>

						</ul>
						<!-- end social_bookmarks-->

with:

<ul class="social_bookmarks">
							<?php 

							//contact icon
							$contact_page_id = avia_get_option('email_page');
			                if (function_exists('icl_object_id')) $contact_page_id = icl_object_id($contact_page_id, 'page', true);  //wpml prepared
							if($contact_page_id) echo "<li class='mail'><a href='".get_permalink($contact_page_id)."'>".__('Send us Mail', 'avia_framework')."</a></li>";

							if($dribbble = avia_get_option('dribbble')) echo "<li class='dribbble'><a target='_blank' href='http://dribbble.com/".$dribbble."'>".__('Follow us on dribbble', 'avia_framework')."</a></li>";
							if($twitter = avia_get_option('twitter')) echo "<li class='twitter'><a target='_blank' href='http://twitter.com/".$twitter."'>".__('Follow us on Twitter', 'avia_framework')."</a></li>";
							if($facebook = avia_get_option('facebook')) echo "<li class='facebook'><a target='_blank'  href='".$facebook."'>".__('Join our Facebook Group', 'avia_framework')."</a></li>";

							 ?>

							<li class='rss'><a>"><?php _e('Subscribe to our RSS Feed', 'avia_framework')?></a>

						<!-- end social_bookmarks-->

Hi Dude, I tried this. Just adding the target="_blank" code seems to have some sort of other effect where the footer isn't shown anymore and images won't load either. I'm building it on my localhost so unfortunately cannot show whats happening.

Hey!

I adjusted the code above. The " caused an error with the php syntax but the new code should work fine.

Best regards,
Peter

Thanks, now it works in the footer. To make the same changes for social icons next to the search bar I did the same in functions.php.

Now I also wanted the side bar social links and advertising widget image links to open in a new window. In class-framework-widgets.php I was able to get that to work by adding the same code under the Avia Tweetbox line so the title opens in a new window as well. Same for Avia Advertising widget but there I did have to add target="_blank" again (pair of parentheses instead of single).

There's one tiny thing that I cannot find. Within the Tweetbox I would like mentioned links to open in a new window too. Can you tell me where to fix that? That would make my search for links to new windows complete, very much appreciated!

It's not easily possible to achieve this with php code because the content is provided by twitter. However you can try the js code snippet from here: http://www.electrictoolbox.com/jquery-open-offsite-links-new-window/ - I'd use following (slightly modified) version:
```
jQuery(".tweets a").filter(function() {
    return this.hostname && this.hostname !== location.hostname;
}).attr('target', '_blank');
```
- add it to js/avia.js after the document.ready code line.

I tried this and could not get the desired result. I changed ".tweets a" to "slideshow.container" but could not get the slideshow image to launch a new window when clicked. Any other ideas?

Hey!

Try following code instead:

jQuery(".slideshow_container a").filter(function() {
    return this.hostname && this.hostname !== location.hostname;
}).attr('target', '_blank');

Hello,

I'm trying this out in the Angular theme. It works fine for the partner logo list, if I remove the .slideshow_container, but not for the external links in the portfolio items.
Is their a way to do it with jQuery or can I edit the templates somewhere?

Thanks!

Hi mwouters,

If you mean in the fields for the meta data, you can just use raw html links. So:
<a href="http://google.com target="_blank">www.google.com</a>

Devin

Ok, that works indeed! Just for info, in which script are those values checked and transformed into links? Because you can also just fill http://www.google.com and it automatically makes it a link.

Hi,

Yes you can do that but you will lose the target='_blank' which is responsible for opening the link to a new window which I think is the point of this whole thread.
