Dear Support

Our customer would like to redirect one of the page to its's corporate website's page.   But they want it to be opened in a new tab/new window instead of same window which will effectively bring the potential out of its local's website,  reason is for SEO purpose.  

We are teaching them to use the short cut in the page proeperty to do a redirction.  However,  we noted that there is no target setting.   May I know how can I achieve this requirement without too much of programming?

Thanks

Hi Khine,

 

This is how we do it, by changing the xslt to check if the URL starts with the protocol, and if so, we assume it's an external link and open in a new tab as such.

 

<a href="javascript:void(0)">
  <xsl:if test="@Allowclick = 'True'">
    <xsl:attribute name="href">
      <xsl:value-of select="@Href" disable-output-escaping="yes" />
    </xsl:attribute>
    <xsl:if test="starts-with(@Href, 'http')">
      <xsl:attribute name="target">_blank</xsl:attribute>
    </xsl:if>
  </xsl:if>

  ...

</a>

 

Hope that helps.

Nuno Aguiar
