External Links --> "target" tag

Hi Karl.

Another "nice to have" feature would be, about the new function: "Page type:LINK - Create external links in main menu", to have the possibility to open the link in a new window (target="_blank").

Regards,
Marco

That's already possible =)

In the URL field, you can set your target like below by following the link with a target behind *asterix character:
Code
URL*target
For example, the following entry opens the link in a _blank window:
Code
https://www.photo.gallery*_blank
If you don't add any target, the link will open in same window. You can also use the following target parameters:

_blank
This target will cause the link to always be loaded in a new blank window.

_self
This target causes the link to always load in the same window the anchor was clicked in.

_parent
This target makes the link load in the immediate FRAMESET parent of this document. This defaults to acting like "_self" if the document has no parent.

_top
This target makes the link load in the full body of the window. This defaults to acting like "_self" if the document is already at the top. It is useful for breaking out of an arbitrarily deep FRAME nesting.

window_name
This will force the document to load in the window named window_name, or if such a window does not exist, one will be created, and then the document will be loaded in it.

You mean how to create an external link in the main menu? Admin -> manage -> click "Create new folder" -> click "use as[Link]" ...

That would create a page with a few input fields "title", "description", "link" for the link.

that all makes sense, the only problem is the only option i have when i create a new folder is "use as textpage." Is that where the "use as link" option should also be?

Sounds like you are using an earlier release. We added "use as link" at a later stage in a later release. We are soon releasing a huge update(prior to public release)

that would explain how i could never find the dam option! So when it comes to updating V2 were do you release the new update? Via this site, email link or other....?
