Hello NCs.

 

I'd like to share this great tip I found in the past on creators. I do not remember the original author and please post here if you know. I do not mean to take the credit but I'd like to share this tip and ask for your advice.

 

Paste this in your custom code.

 

<script language="JavaScript">
var myLinks = document.getElementsByTagName('a');
for (x in myLinks) {
if(myLinks[x].href != null) {
if(!(myLinks[x].href.match(/Yournetworkurl.com/))) {
//set external links to open in new window
myLinks[x].target = '_blank'; }
}
}
</script>

 

You have to change the "Yournetworkurl.com" with your website address. \

If you try on the test network make sure you use the test network address otherwise all links will open in new window.

 

Question... Can anyone adapt the code to include additional domains? for example I wanna exclude some addition websites so they will not open on new window but on the same..

 

Can anyone help?

  • Found the solution... If you would like to exclude additional domains just repeat this line

    if(!(myLinks[x].href.match(/Yournetworkurl1.com/)))

    if(!(myLinks[x].href.match(/Yournetworkurl2.com/)))

    if(!(myLinks[x].href.match(/Yournetworkurl3.com/)))

     

    Hope you find it useful...

  • Does anyone know how to change the default option when add links in text editor? For my site it seems always default to new window. But I see Jen's site it default to same window.

    And thanks for sharing the code. But the performance seems not that good. Because if you have 100 links in a page. It will runs 100 time no matter user click any link or not. The better solution is to bind the event action with toper element, such as document or body. And then check if it's a out or in-going link when mouse clicked. This will run 100 time only when user click 100 time. :P

    • Alex,

       While in the text editor, and after making the hyperlink, hover over it and click "edit", you will then see an option to choose new window or same window. no idea why the option isn't given to you to begin with, though.

      • Thank you Speed Racer, 

        I've doing this to change the links all the time. Just wonder why we can't have the options to choose new window or same window when we first add links. 

  • Thanks a lot Spyro for this tip, it is just what I needed!

    I needed to take away the first / though, so it ended like:
    if(!(myLinks[x].href.match(Yournetworkurl.com/))) {

    I don't know why, but with the / in the begining it wasn't recognizing the site and opening every page.

    Thanks again!
