Opening external links in a new window
Since upgraded to version 1.17.0, just follow the instruction in the link below (add
$wgExternalLinkTarget = '_blank';
to LocalSettings.php)
The new window Wikimedia link is useful information. Probably the easiest way is:
Version > 1.5.0
- Open includes/Linker.php
- Find "function getExternalLinkAttributes"
- After
$r = ($class != ) ? " class='$class'" : " class='external'"; insert the following code $r .= " target=\"_blank\"";
Actually did this to includes/Linker.php:
function getExternalLinkAttributes( $title, $unused = null, $class= ) {
### return $this->getLinkAttributesInternal( $title, $class, 'external' );
$r = $this->getLinkAttributesInternal( $title, $class, 'external' );
$r .= " target=\"_blank\"";
return $r;
}
