I found a few previous posts addressing this, but I am unable to get
external links to open in a new window, either created as an item or in the
content page. I am running Plone 2.5.2 on Zope 2.9.6 using Python 2.4.4.
All the previous posts address versions of Plone prior to 2.5.2.
I poked around in the mark_special_links.js file which told me to go to
plone_javascript_variables.js and set open_links_in_external_window to
'true'. I followed these instructions, but external links still take over
the Plone window in my browser, forcing the use of the back button to
return.
I also modified the following lines in mark_special_links.js as a test:
if ((typeof external_links_open_new_window != 'undefined') &&
(external_links_open_new_window == true)) {
links[i].setAttribute('target', '_blank');
}
I removed the if statement, leaving only the links[i].setAttribute('target',
'_blank'); line, but the links still open in the same window. I also tried
removing the single quotes, as mentioned in a previous post. I have
restarted the Zope server each time I made a change, clearing the cache in
my browser as well.
I have had good luck including links in the content window by using the
windowZ product, but there are certain links I need to open in new windows.
Any ideas?
Thanks,
Josh
