Hi

Got N13 working quite easily (unlike many other php scripts), and have customised a simple template.

I've put it in an iFrame as the php include wouldn't work for me (?)

Now I've put a web link into a story, but want it to open in a new browser window, NOT the iFrame.

Can this be done? What code do I have to put in the news item?

Many thanks

David

This is quite easy to do.

Edit the bbparser.php file, on line 156~ you'll see this


simply change it to


Save and upload, now any links you put in your news posts will open in a new window.

Hi Chris

Thanks for the quick response. Copied & pasted new line into file, saved, uploaded ... but now the links in the news items don't do anything!

I can use html, but not php ... so I'm in your hands, here.

I'm think this is you right?

I took a look at the code that "Download the news release here" links is using,

it's being outputted like this


Notice the 2 double quotes around the link, it means something went wrong in the bbparser.php file.

First edit the news post that has that link within it, and check to see you haven't accidentally added those extra quotes.


If that doesn't work, try this instead, download this file, extract it, and replace your own copy of bbparser.php with this new one.

Hi Chris

Yes, you got the website right.

Checked the news item ... it's OK ... only a single set of quotes showing on all links.

Downloaded new php file, put it on website ... still links don't open. I've looked at the source code for the frame ... it shows only single set of quotes on all links.

I looked at it again, tried clicking the links, the seem to work as expected for me now. Open in a new window/tab. Maybe try clearing your cache and try again to see if it works?

Ah I think I see what is happening, instead of target="_NEW" it should be target="_BLANK"

Download this file, extract and replace your own copy.

This should hopefully fix the problem.

Hi Chris

Installed new file ok.

Clearing cache didn't work (Firefox 3.0.5). Decided to close it down completely.

And it now works, with links opening into a new browser tab!

Thank you so much for your support.

We're new to creating websites ... only 2 paying clients so far (our mainstream activity is copywriting and marketing). Twin Peaks is a freebee for some friends. We hope to have some more paying sites over the next few months ... and we'll use N13 for future News listings - and make a donation each time.

Many thanks.

What would I need to change to get this same function when NOT using iFrames?

You simply need to use a php include, for example
