WP 2.9.2 – When linking an image to an external URL is it possible to make it open in a new window?  I have tried putting html like this for example: <a href="http//www.myexternallink.com" target=_blank"</a> in the External Link field, but it won't save this info.

 

Also, in the Slide Pane Description does anyone know how to put the copyright symbol?

 

Thanks!

Jamie,

No, it's not possible to enter xhtml like that in the External link field. However, I think this would be a nice feature to add to the next version.

For the copyright symbol, use &copy; in your description.

Hello.

I too would like to have a new window open everytime a visitor clicks on my Dynamic Content Gallery.

Someone must have figured out how to hack the code to perform this action?

I have tried several times and come up empty handed. I was able to get the code to generate:

target="_blank" in the code… but I feel there is some MooTools or JS that is attaching itself to the onclick action of the Gallery… thus directing browsers location.

Perhaps change something in:

dfcg-gallery-constructors-jq.php

or

dfcg-gallery-constructors.php

 

If I could determine what JS is directing the visitors click to the setup URL… I could then edit code to open in new window. This is the only thing preventing me from being able to use this WordPress Plugin. Frown

 

Thank you,

-=JFK=-

 

Any help/suggestions????

Hi,

If you come up with a javascript fix for this, let me know. As you've discovered, the javascript strips out any attributes contained in the <a> tag, so hacking dfcg-gallery-constructors.php has no effect.

So, for the moment – unless someone drops by with a solution – the answer is that it can't be done.
