new window

I am running nuke 8.0 patch 3.3.

Here is my problem,

News modules is on my home page. When I was at nuke 7.0, I was able to use target="_blank" to force the news to open up at a new window.

With this nuke 8.0, I cannot do that anymore. The little nice window at the article/stories edit page to allow you to put a link in your document and choose to either open it at the same window or open it at a new window DOESN'T work. I can never make this option stay in my html code no matter what I do.

Try to edit the html itself, after saving the page, come back to check the code. the code would be gone. News still open up in the same window.

Try to edit the database, no luck.

Any help is greatly appreciated it.

See if this works. In your config.php find this line:

Code:

$AllowableHTML = array("b"=>1,"i"=>1,"strike"=>1,"div"=>2,"u"=>1,"a"=>2,"em"=>1,"br"=>1,"strong"=>1,"blockquote"=>1,"tt"=>1,"li"=>1,"ol"=>1,"ul"=>1);

Change
"a"=>2
to
"a"=>3

I changed it and tried. It doesn't work.

One thing I noticed is that if the application had accepted my change, it will bring me back to the admin.php after the change. If it didn't accept my change, it will take me all the way back to the homepage.

Thanks for the suggestion and thank for your help in advance.

Hummm ... I wonder if they got religion in doing their editor code? One of the articles you will see on some "how to do good HTML pages" recommends, don't disable the back button. When you open a window in a new page you essentially do that. I don't have the reference handy but if you type "don't disable the back button" into Google you'll get a list of articles. Maybe they fixed the editor so it won't do that. I don't have Nuke 8 and won't so I can't say for sure.

Thanks fkelly

I also notice that the Target="_blank" or target=\"_blank\" does not stay at the html code under the admin page.

This is quit an issue here with 8.0 I think

You might try upgrading to 8.1 to see if that resolves it. Get it in the downloads. Of course we would recommend that you use RavenNuke(tm).

RavenNuke 8.0???

However, I have suffered for almost a month to upgrade this from 7.0 to 8.0. I am exhausted!!! and not sure I want to do another upgrade right now.

Thanks greatly in advance.

No it's not RN 8.0, or 8.1. Just a copy of FB's release.

Hey jakec

I don't quit follow your answer. Could you explain that a little bit for.

Can't open up a new window is kind of becoming a problem for me!!!! Sad

jakec · Posted: Tue Sep 04, 2007 2:41 pm

Yes certainly.

You said RavenNuke 8.0???

So I was just explaining that Raven was referring to FB's latest release, not a RavenNuke release.

I find out another interesting behavior on the html code holder at the admin.php page to edit the news.

e.g I have the following show up when I open the htm code window

<a href="http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/news/uk/article2147956.ece">I'm off to join soldiers of Islam, I meet you in paradise, schoolboy told parents <br />

I changed it to

<div> <a href="http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/news/uk/article2147956.ece">I'm off to join soldiers of Islam, I meet you in paradise, schoolboy told parents <br /> </div>

or

<a href="http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/news/uk/article2147956.ece" targer="_blank" >I'm off to join soldiers of Islam, I meet you in paradise, schoolboy told parents <br />

or

<a href="http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/news/uk/article2147956.ece" target=\"_blank\" >I'm off to join soldiers of Islam, I meet you in paradise, schoolboy told parents <br />

After I save the change. phpnuke will take me all the way to the home page. Of course it didn't work. When I come back to the edit page and open up the html code. I got the original code.

<a href="http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/news/uk/article2147956.ece">I'm off to join soldiers of Islam, I meet you in paradise, schoolboy told parents <br />

Any idea? Question

thanks in advance

Well the general consensus around here is that PHP-Nuke 8.0 is junk. These things work in RavenNuke. Smile

And try getting support for PHP-Nuke 8 from the author. Sorry, you can't.

You'll get plenty of support for RavenNuke here.

Guys,

After reading some more on the internet, I finally found out how to open an new window in nuke 8.0

All you have to do is Shift-click at the link, it will open the new window. If you just only click at the link, it will open in the same window. I love this feature and I wish this were in one of the installation documents so that I didn't have to spend days to try to figure it out.

On the other hand, I did learn a lot about the nuke 8.0 while trying to solve this problem.

Thank you everybody.

That is a function of your browser, not phpnuke. It's a browser documented feature.

Oh!!! thanks. I actually thought about that after I got to sleep on it last night. Anyway, I think I am done with the upgrade. Here is my website link
