Target _blank not working in Simple-navigation menu

[dvdzanden]

Hi there,

First things first: My English is not that good, i hope you can understand my question:

I made a website with CMSMadeSimple. It includes the Simple Navigation menu. In this menu i created two links that forward to an external link (Edit page, Content Type -> External Link). In the options menu of these two pages i give the url the _blank target (Options, Target -> _blank). But when i visit the site and click the link the page loads in the same page. No new window (or tab) opens. Can anybody tell what's the problem?

Thanks for your response!

Change your call to the menu-template from "simple_navigation.tpl" to "accessible_simple_navigation.tpl". The accessible one is have the extra options of pages as well, as for performance reasons, the regular one doesnt call them....

Thanks, It works fine now! I changed some things in the .tpl and now everything works fine!

You better not change things in the .tpl itself. As that is a file which will/can be overwritten in an upgrade. As said, the accessible_ template could be called instead. And when you want to modify one, press the import button at the end, name the template, and call the new-named template in the page-template.
