    • Plugin Button in New Window

    Posted by Greg Wheat posts: 122 United States

    Is there any way to use the plugin button and have the link open in a new window? I've been playing around with the standard target="_blank", but nothing seems to work.

    Thanks,
    Greg

    I found a way to do this. I wouldn't say it is pretty. It would be a lot easier if plugin button had an "open in a new window" option.

    I added some jquery code to Admin > Look and Feel > Customization tab > Custom javascript:

    Copy to clipboard
    $('#buttonexternal a').on("click", function(e) {$(this).attr('target', '_blank');});

    Then I thought I would be able to add _class="buttonexternal" to the button plugin and have that work, but it didn't.
    I was able to get it to work by wrapping the button plugin in a div plugin:

    Copy to clipboard
    {DIV(id=buttonexternal)}
 {BUTTON( ...
{DIV}

    The other way to do it, is to simply use the existing button class around a regular external link:

    Copy to clipboard
    {DIV(class="button")}[http://google.com|Google]{DIV}
