Open a New Window for Display Name link

[Beach]

Hi,

This is a repost of a question I posted several days ago, but had no response too!

If anyone could help i'd really appreciate it. So here goes...

My users link their display name to a website link, so that when someone clicks on their display name in a comment on the message boards, they are taken to that users website link. They add the website link through their user profile page, by filling in the 'website' box.

Currently when someone clicks on the display name, the users website is opened in the window being used (ie it replaces my wordpress site!). I would rather the user's website opened up in a new window when someone clicks on the display name.

Is their a way of doing this is Suffusion, or is there some new code I need to insert somewhere?

Many thanks for your help.

The below code will open a new tab or window

Code: Select all

target="_blank"

Example below would be enclosed within < >

a href="http://mywebsite.com" target="_blank">Beach</a

I had to do this with the text widget in sidebar to open new tab for linked websites.

Hi,

Thanks for the response, and the code.

My only remaining question is to ask where would I enter this extra code (i.e. which files in wordpress, and whereabouts in those specific files?).

Many thanks for helping me out

Beach,

I would suggest that if you are asking this question this is not something that you should tackle. Find someone locally who knows php and html and get them to help you. This will quickly become a saga of a broken site with lots of pleas of help on your part.

Simply put, this is very difficult, particularly for one not conversant with code. This requires using a WP hook and a bunch of regular expressions to insert the appropriate text within an "<a>" element.

Sayontan,

If someone as experienced as you is saying this is difficult, then boy it must be hard! I will not take this any further then, and will leave it there.

Thank you (& everyone else) for taking the time to reply to me - I really appreciate it.
