[solved]Menu-item with external link not using target=_blank

[janvl]

Hi,

I have a new site with 1.10.3.
Using Left simple navigation.
http://www.vds-pflanzen.at

One of the menu-items (webshop) is a link to an external URL.
I have given in the URL and in Options
gave "_blank " for target.

Then it opens in the same window.
When I look in the sourcecode with the browser there is no target="_blank"

Is this a known problem?
And is there a patch?

Kind regards,
Jan

As I see it the template "Left simple navigation" uses the menutemplate simple_navigation and it doesn't account for a target attribute.

Code: Select all

{if $node->target}target="{$node->target}" {/if}

...is missing from the template.
Perhaps the template is just that "simple"

Either insert it yourself or use another menutemplate like cssmenu.tpl or accessible_cssmenu.tpl.

Thank you,

I inserted the line and now it works like it should.

Shouldn't this be in the standard template? For if you enter a menu-item you can choose in options for the "target".

I will make a note to the devteam.

Kind regards,
Jan

isnt there an explanation regarding the availability of this option... I thought I added this myself...

[janvl]

Right, it is there (in german)

"Diese Option kann durch den MenüManager verwendet werden, um anzuzeigen, ob der Link in einem neuen Fenster geöffnet werden soll (target). Bitte prüfen Sie, ob die von Ihnen verwendeten MenüManager-Templates diesen Parameter verwenden."

But on a 1920px wide screen it is not exactly "visible".

I still think, it should be in the templates that are default in CMSMS, especially because it is so simple, just this one line.

Kind regards,

Did you try...

accessible_simple_navigation.tpl

Not yet, but I will now.
