Open admin shortcuts to new window

Post by kermit »

Quick lil' tip... for those who use admin shortcuts:

If you have admin shortcuts going away from your admin panel, the fact that the links open up into the same window or tab might be a bit frustrating. To control where they open, such as to a new window, without needing to remember to middle-click or right-click the link... tack on a little extra HTML when entering the shortcut URL, that contains your desired target...

Example:

Instead of:

Code: Select all

http://www.goingsomewhere.com/a-page.html
Use:

Code: Select all

http://www.goingsomewhere.com/a-page.html" target="_blank
(leave off the trailing quote at the end)
eternity (n); 1. infinite time, 2. a seemingly long or endless time, 3. the length of time it takes a frozen pizza to cook when you're starving.
4,930,000,000 (n); 1. a very large number, 2. the approximate world population in 1986 when Microsoft Corp issued its IPO. 3. Microsoft's net profit (USD) for the quarter (3 months) ending 31 March 2007.
