External Links - New Window

[Sampo2910]

Hi All,

It’s been a while. I took a break from well…everything to be honest. Anyway here I am and I hope you are all well.

I have a question regarding nodebb and external links. Is it possible to make all external links open in a new window by default? Pretty sure it’s not in the settings. A lot has chnaged since I last played around with it.

Thank you in advance.

@Sampo2910 welcome back! Hope you’re well?

It’s certainly possible to open links in a new window. It’s in the markdown settings as below

Hi Mark,

Perfect and thank you.

Yes not too bad. A few issues with the ticker (more of a scare) but reporting back for duty haha. All good. Working at sea and so I am not about a smuch as I would like to be. Have to earn the pennies.

Thank you again.

@Sampo2910 A feeling I know all too well with the “pennies”. Hopefully, you’re back to full health now?

@phenomlab Yes, all good. Had all the tests and now back at it. Had some stress tests on the bike, running whilst all wired up like Steve Austin All turned out well.

Just one of them things, but sure makes you appreciate what you have.

Funny how it does exactly that. Stay well!

@phenomlab

Just to add there is a plugin there to activate called link preview. It works ok but with that the links do not open up in a new tab/window. Other links are ok but not with that plugin

@Sampo2910 search the forum here for ogproxy which is the client side version of that plugin I wrote.

It’s in use here on this forum.
