Hello,
I have been trying to add external links to the menu system, but they
result in malformed or invalid URL's when setting the target attribute.
There are some old posts in the group regarding this, but none of the
suggestions have worked.
Web2py version : 2.16.1-stable
Example:
response.menu += [
('External Links', False, '#', [
('Icinga', False, URL('icinga'), []),
# Works
# SRC: <a class="dropdown-item"
href="/Rakesh_Singh/default/icinga">Icinga</a>
('Google', False, google, []),
# Works
# SRC: <a class="dropdown-item"
href="https://www.google.com";>Google</a>
# Change target...
('', False, A('Icinga', _href=URL('icinga'), _target="_blank"), []),
# Does not work; Menu item displays "Icinga\n>"
# SRC: <a class="dropdown-item" href="<a
href="/Rakesh_Singh/default/icinga" target="_blank">Icinga</a>"></a>
]
)
]
I have added a 'dirty' workaround in my layout.html that changes the target
to '_blank' if the URL contains the string 'http'
<div class="dropdown-menu">
{{for _subitem in _item[3]:}}
{{if _subitem[2].__contains__('http'):}}
{{_target = '_blank'}}
{{_rel = 'noopener'}}
{{else:}}
{{_target = '_self'}}
{{_rel = 'preconnect '}}
{{pass}}
<a class="dropdown-item" href="{{=_subitem[2]}}"
target="{{=_target}}" rel="{{=_rel}}">{{=_subitem[0]}}</a>
Is there something incorrect in my code when specifying the target?
Thank you.
