[solved] Problem content=link and target=_blank

[erport]

Hi everyone !

I have a little problem with CMSms 1.1 :

when I choose "link" as content type, it works fine excepted the possibily to choose the target as "_blank"... How can I do ? I reallly need it !

Thanks for your help,

Regards.

7th line down drop down says Target: blank is in there...

thanks, Mark, for your interest and your answer but I don't understand it (I'm a poor french...). I know that blank is to be chosen in the 7th line, and I've choosen it, but il doesn't work at all... In the source code, I have :

linkname
and no linkname
or 7.1: linkname.

Perhaps it's because I work on an old server with :

php : 4.4.1-0.dotdeb.2
mysql : 3.23.49
mode_safe : on

In the content, I have :

Content type : link
Title : linkname
Menu text : linkname
Parent : 7.1
Link to file (instead of URL) : None (use URL Above)
Target : _blank
Active : yes
Show in Menu : yes
...

I think I made the good choice, no ? Can you help me more ? Thanks for your help,

regards.

hi,

I think the problem is on the last file lib/classes/contenttypes/Link.inc.php
with the last svn Révision: 4078
Modified Mon Aug 20  by tsw
You have NOT the possibily to choose the target as "_blank"

So if you test with the  lib/classes/contenttypes/Link.inc.php
Revision 3880 - Modified Tue Apr 24 (original into cms1.1)
That's OK for me

Please confirm
Thanks

It seems Jean-Claude has solved things again : it was ok with my 1.1rc2 test. I've never looked at SVN.

Hm, I don't think this problem is solved as I am having exactly this sort of problem.

Visit the website I have created for our school at www.tvcs.sa.edu.au and click on the Web Preferences item - it should open a new instance as I have set the target of the link to _blank, but it doesn't!

Biggles, on the wild Internet you run nothing but the latest official stable CMSms, don't you ? Hence 1.4.1. This version can report a lot of context settings helpfull for support. Please use it to give us more information to try to help you.

Biggles, i think it's because you use the template Grass Stains. I had the same problem with it, and when i have changed (to underground one), the links work with "target="_blank".
Sorry for my poor english !

The template doesn't make a difference as to whether a link will get set to _blank or if it will work...

It has to do with how you do it with how it is set when creating it, if you use external link as Content Type: then you get a choice to set it blank as done here, click blank...

If you are using an older ver. of CMSMS then that may be the problem, always try and keep up to date...

except when the menu uses javascript, no ?

I have a probe ! I have 2 cmsms 1.41, on the same server, on the same base (but with different prefix).
The first one use Grass Stains template : http://www.eric-portal.ac-versailles.fr/cmsmadesimple/
The second one use Underground template : http://www.eric-portal.ac-versailles.fr/cms/

Same adjustement for the two links :
Content type : external link
target : _blank

Click "Liens" to see...

The first one open the windows without target="_blank".
code source :

Code: Select all

<li><a href="http://www.grain2tice.fr/liens/">Liens</a></li>

The second one open the windows with target="_blank".
code source :

Code: Select all

<li><a href="http://www.grain2tice.fr/liens/" target="_blank"><dfn>9: </dfn><span>Liens</span></a></li>

So, Mark, what you said about the template ? I think you're wrong, sorry.

Eric
