That's a good one - and one I'd like too

just add -- TARGET="_blank" -- to the A HREF code wherever you need to launch a new window.

You can also add a javascript code to control the look and size of the new window but requires more comprehensive coding.

what do you mean 'wherever'?

I meant throughout the whole shop. Any idea how we'd do this?

Exactly what I said -- wherever -- if you wanted 'Buy' links then there is only one link code that is repeated every time a buy link is printed on a page.

So you change the code to include the new blank window and everytime it loads it includes this addition to the code.

Also if you wish to extend this new window to a controlled size and position you can include javascript -- a good example and explanation can be found here http://www.htmlgoodies.com/beyond/javascript/article.php/3471181

Hi Guys,

If you locate to the SMARTY Config File (\includes\smarty\configs) you will find there are some things that can be configured, including:

PopUpWindow = "0"

If you change this to "1", all merchant sites will open in a new window.

The site title can also be edited within this file:

siteTitle = "ShopWindow Client"

I hope this helps,

Amo

That is handy -- thanks -- but I think it was just the buy button he was talking about.

I assume this meant all links - buy links and shop links

Your original message said 'buy' links but changing the code from '0' to '1' will launch both 'buy' and 'merchant site' links to a new window.

If this is what you require fine but if only the buy link then you need to hard code that with the examples I gave.

I actually hadn't thought about it but, yes, I want all links to open in a new window

cheers
