    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!

    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.

    @kadir-ay-0 marking as resolved based on https://community.nodebb.org/topic/17109/manual-build-a-night-mode-for-harmony/5 Please do not raise requests in two places - here and the NodeBB forums. All this does is create unnecessary load for both parties.

    @DownPW Looking at the underlying code, class start is being added on hover by jQuery in this function document.querySelectorAll(".button-gradient, .button-transparent").forEach((button) => { const style = getComputedStyle(button); const lines = document.createElement("div"); lines.classList.add("lines"); const groupTop = document.createElement("div"); const groupBottom = document.createElement("div"); const svg = createSVG( button.offsetWidth, button.offsetHeight, parseInt(style.borderRadius, 10) ); groupTop.appendChild(svg); groupTop.appendChild(svg.cloneNode(true)); groupTop.appendChild(svg.cloneNode(true)); groupTop.appendChild(svg.cloneNode(true)); groupBottom.appendChild(svg.cloneNode(true)); groupBottom.appendChild(svg.cloneNode(true)); groupBottom.appendChild(svg.cloneNode(true)); groupBottom.appendChild(svg.cloneNode(true)); lines.appendChild(groupTop); lines.appendChild(groupBottom); button.appendChild(lines); button.addEventListener("pointerenter", () => { button.classList.add("start"); }); svg.addEventListener("animationend", () => { button.classList.remove("start"); }); }); }) The CSS for start is below .button-gradient.start .lines svg, .button-transparent.start .lines svg { animation: stroke 0.3s linear; } And this is the corresponding keyframe @keyframes stroke { 30%, 55% { opacity: 1; } 100% { stroke-dashoffset: 5; opacity: 0; } } It’s using both CSS and SVG, so might not be a simple affair to replicate without the SVG files.

    @DownPW hi. Sorry for digging up an old post, but I’m going through items still unresolved and was looking to get an understanding of where you are currently with this?

    @pobojmoks Do you see any errors being reported in the console ? At first guess (without seeing the actual code or the site itself), I’d say that this is AJAX callback related
