Is there a way to have portfolio URL open in a new window? Currently, when you click on a URL it opens the page in the same window, but I would like to have it open in a new window if possible.

Many thanks.

The same actually applies to the social icons on the header area. Could those open in a new window?

Hey!

For the portfolio open up Angular/Includes/loop-portfolio.php and find
echo "<a href='".get_permalink()."' rel='bookmark' title='".__('Permanent Link:','avia_framework')." ".get_the_title()."'>".get_the_title()."</a>";
replace it by
echo "<a href='".get_permalink()."' rel='bookmark' title='".__('Permanent Link:','avia_framework')." ".get_the_title()."' target='_blank'>".get_the_title()."</a>";

This topic will help you out with the social bookmarks

Best regards,
Chris

I updated the code as you suggested, but the URL's still open in the same window. I've refreshed and emptied the cache. I edited the PHP file and uploaded to the server via my FTP app. Tested in Safari, Firefox, Chrome and Opera (all latest versions running on Mac OS X).

I confirmed the changes had been made by selecting the "loop-portfolio.php" file from the Editor in Appearances.

Hi!

This is strange, it works fine for me. - You've set it to open in a single page, right (in Theme Options)?
Can you link to the page where this is occurring?

Regards,
Chris

It is set up to open in single page through the theme options, under portfolio tab. As an example, view the this link: http://blog.newavemedia.com/portfolio-item/synergy-interactive/

When you click on the URL for the project it still opens in the same window. My preference is for it to open a new browser window so my site would still be there in the back. The same is true for the homepage when you click and expand the portfolio samples.

Thanks.

Hey NWM,

Quick and simple way is to make your links in the meta field always include the target="_blank" attribute.

So for the example you linked, the meta field Project URL would be:
<a href="http://www.synergy-interactive.com/" target="_blank">http://www.synergy-interactive.com/</a>

Devin,

I don't have that option since I'm using the PORTFOLIO tab to populate the samples.

On the left sidebar in WordPress, I click on "Portfolio Items" to create the samples. On the right side, I have the fields to input "Portfolio Categories", "Skills Needed", "Client", and "Project URL".

I was hoping that Chris Beard's PHP edit would solve this issue, but it didn't.

Never mind. I got it. I was following the instructions to the letter, just inputting the URL without the http prefix, etc., and therefore assumed I couldn't do the target="_blank".

I now have listed the URLs as:
Sample Website

It works for me.

Now my only question is how to get the social icons on the header to open in a new browser window.

I meant to write the Sample Website in the format you did. Basically, the way Devin described it is how I accomplished it.

Just need help with the social icons now.

In the header.php file, you'll want to replace:

if($dribbble = avia_get_option('dribbble')) { $social ++; echo "<li class='dribbble'><a href='http://dribbble.com/".$dribbble."'>".__('Follow us on dribbble', 'avia_framework')."</a></li>"; }
							if($twitter  = avia_get_option('twitter'))  { $social ++; echo "<li class='twitter'><a href='http://twitter.com/".$twitter."'>".__('Follow us on Twitter', 'avia_framework')."</a></li>"; }
							if($facebook = avia_get_option('facebook')) { $social ++; echo "<li class='facebook'><a href='".$facebook."'>".__('Join our Facebook Group', 'avia_framework')."</a></li>";	}
							if($gplus    = avia_get_option('gplus'))    { $social ++; echo "<li class='gplus'><a href='".$gplus."'>".__('Join me on Google Plus', 'avia_framework')."</a></li>"; }
							if($linkedin   = avia_get_option('linkedin'))    { $social ++; echo "<li class='linkedin'><a href='".$linkedin."'>".__('Add me on Linkedin', 'avia_framework')."</a></li>"; }

with

if($dribbble = avia_get_option('dribbble')) { $social ++; echo "<li class='dribbble'><a href='http://dribbble.com/".$dribbble."' target='_blank'>".__('Follow us on dribbble', 'avia_framework')."</a></li>"; }
							if($twitter  = avia_get_option('twitter'))  { $social ++; echo "<li class='twitter'><a href='http://twitter.com/".$twitter."' target='_blank'>".__('Follow us on Twitter', 'avia_framework')."</a></li>"; }
							if($facebook = avia_get_option('facebook')) { $social ++; echo "<li class='facebook'><a href='".$facebook."' target='_blank'>".__('Join our Facebook Group', 'avia_framework')."</a></li>";	}
							if($gplus    = avia_get_option('gplus'))    { $social ++; echo "<li class='gplus'><a href='".$gplus."' target='_blank'>".__('Join me on Google Plus', 'avia_framework')."</a></li>"; }
							if($linkedin   = avia_get_option('linkedin'))    { $social ++; echo "<li class='linkedin'><a href='".$linkedin."' target='_blank'>".__('Add me on Linkedin', 'avia_framework')."</a></li>"; }

That did it! All set on that end. Everything opens on a blank page as I hoped for.

Thanks Chris and Devin for all the help.
