A simple question:
Is it possible to let your favourite sites open in a new window (now they open in the same window).
If yes, how is it done?
Thanks.
Offline
inc/functions.php
Look for the 'loadFavouriteSites()' function. You`ll see the links, just add a target.
Offline
Thanks.
However, I see the links etc., but full of hyphens followed by quotes, and I wonder where exactly to slot in the target="_blank".
A you know, i am a bit PHP phobic, so, where exactly do I put that into the following:
"// Are there favourites to display?
$q_faves = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM ".$database['prefix']."favourites ORDER BY name") or die(mysql_error());
if (mysql_num_rows($q_faves)>0)
{
while ($FAVES = mysql_fetch_object($q_faves))
{
$sites .= '- <a href="'.$FAVES->url.'" title="'.htmlspecialchars(cleanData($FAVES->name)).'">'.cleanData($FAVES->name).'</a><br />'."\n";
$sites2 .= '<li><a href="'.$FAVES->url.'" title="'.htmlspecialchars(cleanData($FAVES->name)).'">'.cleanData($FAVES->name).'</a></li>'."\n";
}
$find = array('{favourites}','{favourites_list}','{favourites_list_li}','{path}');
$replace = array($msg_public_header13,$sites,$sites2,$SETTINGS->w_path.'/themes/'.THEME);
$faves = str_replace($find,$replace,file_get_contents(FOLDER_PATH.'themes/'.THEME.'/tpl_files/favourites.tpl'));
}
return $faves;
}"
Thank you.

I believe you add this line to the following.
target="_blank"$sites .= '- <a href="'.$FAVES->url.'" title="'.htmlspecialchars(cleanData($FAVES->name)).'">'.cleanData($FAVES->name).'</a><br />'."\n";
$sites2 .= '<li><a href="'.$FAVES->url.'" title="'.htmlspecialchars(cleanData($FAVES->name)).'">'.cleanData($FAVES->name).'</a></li>'."\n";

OK, thanks.
I know the target code, but I am wondering where exactly in the lines of code I have to put it.
Especially with all the apostrophies and quotes in there, they confuse me incredibly.

OK,
I did that, and when going to the blog page, I was greeted with a blank page. (no error messages, nothing).
Changed it back to the original code, same thing now, blank page 
Even the admin page cannot be accessed anymore.
I then copied and pasted the whole original functions.php file, and the blog came back to life.
Where could I have gone wrong?
Thank you.

It could be that when you saved the functions file it saved with whitespace at the bottom of the file?
Check there is no whitespace before or after the opening/closing php tags. How are you editing the file?
Offline
Thanks,
Brilliant.
i had edited it in my Cpanel's File Manager Edit function.
After your advice, I edited the file with CoffeeCup HTML Editor and uploaded it.
Problem gone!
The sites now open in a new window.
I just LOVE my blog section.
If you ever intend to update it, I have some suggestions.
Offline
Superb, glad it worked. Yes, I`ve had that issue with cpanel myself.

David,
Why are there two '$sites' variables?
Offline
One has <li> tags, one doesn`t. Its for some of the themes I think.
Offline
Ok. Good to know.

No problem. Happy New Year duc.

Happy New Year David.
I still need your assistance to my other issue. I still can't figure out what it is not working proper. If you have the time, please like me know. I'm on vacation at the moment.
Btw, I hope you didn't start the beta test on support script yet. I still want in.
