Links

[Stever]

Hi

I am trying to add liks to other web sites that open in a seperate window.

I have created a Liks section and I am adding fragments as image only with a link to the relevent url, but when you click the link it uses the same window as my store, am I doint this in completely the wrong way?

You need:

target="_blank"

added to the tag to get it to open in a new window instead of the existing one.

If you are using the link option on the fragment, then you need to be clever and add just:

target="_blank

to the end as actinic surrounds whatever you put there in quotes automatically for you.

Thanks Lee

Works fine now

This is fantastic info but where do I put the code itself. I can't seem to fnd the link text anywhere in the code

If not using the link tab as outlined, you will need to go into your product layout and locate it in there.

Please accept my apologies In the Product details link section I have keyed in the URL under the advanced link option and added target="blank with a space to the end of the URL. The page comes up as not found. I am obviously still putting it in the wrong place but can't work our where the right place is Any help would be greatly appreciated

Provide a screenshot of what you have done please.

Hi Lee,
attempting to do this but not sure exactly here to put the code. I assume it is somewhere in the Fragment Layout code, but I tried in vairous areas with no success, replacing target = top with target = blank or just adding it, obviously I have not quite got it! Can you be more explicit about where to put the code. Thanks

If you want to put the link in layout/template code then use this:
<a href="mylinkpage" target= "_blank">This link will open in a new page</a>

If you want to put a link in a fragment then use the following:
!!<
<a href="mylinkpage" target= "_blank">This link will open in a new page</a>
>!!

If you are using the link option in a frgament in Actinic itself then see above post 2 above.

What I want to do is, every time a customer clicks on a link, it would create an external tab/ window/ box so that they are not completely directed away from my site. This presumably means I need to put this in the layout/template code, but again need guidance as to how to find the right place, (I don't tinker with the system much so I have to re-learn each time). So can you tell me the steps I need to do this - in simple steps - just not sure here to find the right piece of code to add it to.
Wish I was better at this!

What links, where are they?
Can you describe some that exist on your site already that you want to change and give a URL?
