Jacobo Quiles	Monday 06 November 2006 9:38:21 am Hi! You can always override the default link attribute template from ('design/standard/templates/content/datatype/view/ezurl.tpl') and add an extra parameter like this: {default $target="_self"} {section show=$attribute.data_text} <a href="{$attribute.content}" target={$target}>{$attribute.data_text\|wash( xhtml )}</a> {section-else} <a href="{$attribute.content}" target={$target}>{$attribute.content\|wash( xhtml )}</a> {/section} {/default} Then when u call the attribute and want it to open in new window do it like this: {attribute_view_gui attribute=$node.data_map.location target="_blank"} or {attribute_view_gui attribute=$node.data_map.location} to open in same window.

OK.. the easiest solution I found was to add another field (ie. target) to the link class with _blank as default (or _self if you want people to remain in the site by default).

Amend the default template... I just added target="{$node.data_map.target.content}" into it:

    {section show=$node.data_map.location.has_content}
        <div class="attribute-link">
            <p><a href="{$node.data_map.location.content}" target="{$node.data_map.target.content}">{section show=$node.data_map.location.data_text|count|gt( 0 )}{$node.data_map.location.data_text|wash}{section-else}{$node.data_map.location.content|wash}{/section}</a></p>
        </div>
    {/section}

and it works well. :)

Hi!

You can always override the default link attribute template from ('design/standard/templates/content/datatype/view/ezurl.tpl') and add an extra parameter like this:

{default $target="_self"}

{section show=$attribute.data_text}
<a href="{$attribute.content}" target={$target}>{$attribute.data_text|wash( xhtml )}</a>
{section-else}
<a href="{$attribute.content}" target={$target}>{$attribute.content|wash( xhtml )}</a>
{/section}

{/default}

Then when u call the attribute and want it to open in new window do it like this:

{attribute_view_gui attribute=$node.data_map.location target="_blank"}

{attribute_view_gui attribute=$node.data_map.location}

to open in same window.

Cheers.
