Hi,

is there any way to config the rss feed, so it opens in a new window automaticly?

Sorry, but the external lnker plugin does not work for me, because i need the fb plugin going. i have gave it try, but login in with fb opens a new blank window. 

i know, i´ve ben told there is a conflict.... but i thougt i´ve give it a try. 

So does any one knows a work arround?


Daniel :)

Daniel, there is always a way to customize the code to fit your needs.
Since this is custom code modification I can not give exact instructions.

By meaning RSS feed, you mean the links in the RSS widget?

Hi Purusothaman Ramanujam

yes the widget. I´d like to have the links open in a new window. 

Any ideas?

Thanks, Daniel

Can you confirm that my external linker plugin does not work wit that?

The problem is, that i have the facebook login plugin installed, which i need.

when activating the extern linker, the fb-login plugin just links you on a new, empty window.

could i just ad something like "target=new" in the rss module-code?

:)

Daniel, I suggest waiting for the new version of Oxwall. Opening RSS links in a new window might be included there.

Hey Aliia,

do you know where the code for RSS-Feed is located?

Daniel, unfortunately no.

However, I have just checked and opening rss links in a new  window has already been developed. So it will be released with the upcoming build.

hi,

noted that target_blank was implemented. but there is a small catch in rss => new window is opened only if user clicks on title provided by oxwall rss. There is still the original article title "inside" of feed which if is clicked on opens the link in same window (closes oxwall site). same happens if user clicks on article's picture.. is there any way  to avoid that? i was searching if its possible to customize the rss feed (parameter title not to be included) but no avail...

Martin Zal, I have added some RSS-feed and tried to reproduce the scenario you have described but there are no clickable images or inner titles in my RSS-feed.
Could you provide us with the link to RSS-feed which you have used.
