HOW CAN YOU STOP RSS FEEDS OPENING A NEW WINDOW ?

[John Bizley]

I would like to have an announcements section on my main page, similiar to whats on here. I have a forum section which is our news desk and would like the feed to come from that. I create the rss feed no problem but I would like it to open within the site rather than it opening a new window. Nings one opens a new window also so is this not possible to do ?

Hi John,

I see what you mean and it is possible using jQuery/DOM. You can modify the target attribute from _blank (new window) to _self (current tab/window)

Add this one liner to your custom code, make sure to enclose it with the <script>tags

x$(".module_feed a").attr("target","_self");

 

Tested working. Hope this helps.

I added it to my custom code with the <script></script> code but it does not work. Still opens in new window ..

Go to www.boxingsocialist.com and on the left hand side, click on any of those rss feeds and you will see it open in a new window. Any other ideals?

Try this:

<script>
$(".module_feed a").attr("target","_self");
</script>
