can someone tell me how to make all links in V2 open in a new window?

many thanks

Ive got all of the links opening in a new window by amending the config.inc file except the one entitled 'more info' on the individual product pages

if someone could point me to that id be grateful

I'd love to help you with some nice quick method for this, but besides suggesting that you do what I do, which is to go through every individual template and set the target for links individually within each template to open in a new page that way, I don't know of any other method, personally.

Hi Gunner

If you go into your templates directory there will be a file called 'config.inc'.

In there you will find:
PopUpWindow = "no"
If you change this to "yes" you should have pop-up windows enabled.

One thing to note, there is a slight error in the client which will be fixed in the next release.

If you navigate to /templates/default/elements/product_display.tpl and goto line 28-30 you should have:
{if #PopUpWindow#=='yes'}
<a href="#" onclick="window.open('{$oProduct->sBuyLink}', '', '{#PopUpSettings#}')">{#currencySign#}{$oProduct->fPrice|number_format:2}</a> <a href="{$oProduct->sBuyLink}"><img src="{$templatePath}images/buy_button.gif" title="More Information" alt="More Information" /></a>
{else}

This should actually be:
{if #PopUpWindow#=='yes'}
<a href="#" onclick="window.open('{$oProduct->sBuyLink}', '', '{#PopUpSettings#}')">{#currencySign#}{$oProduct->fPrice|number_format:2}</a> <a href="#" onclick="window.open('{$oProduct->sBuyLink}', '', '{#PopUpSettings#}')"><img src="{$templatePath}images/buy_button.gif" title="More Information" alt="More Information" /></a>
{else}

To explain whats going on there, the 'More Info' button is using a link to open in the current window. Therefore you must change it so that it actually uses the new window code!

As i said, this will be fixed in the next release.

Cheers :cool:
