When customers are in my store, and click on a manufacturer in the Manufacturer list, that manufacturer's logo and products come up. The logo is clickable and takes the customer directly to their website. I just want this website to open in a new window. I know how to do this, but not where! Which file do I add the code to?

Thanks!

Nevermind, figured it out!

Could you tell us what you did

[Danielle]

Oh sure...lol! I always forget that it would be good to post the solution!

OK, go to Modules/Manufacturers/customer_manufacturer_products.tpl.

I am just going to cut and paste my code and bold the changes, I think that is the easiest way to show what I did...

{if $manufacturer.image ne '' || $manufacturer.descr ne '' || $manufacturer.url ne ''}
<TABLE border="0">

{if $manufacturer.image ne ''}

Excellent thank you was just what I was looking for.

Last think I want is my customers leaving my shop for the manufacturers website!

Off to try it now

[Danielle]

I know!!! I can't believe that wasn't just built in! I just discovered it and had to get it fixed!

[Bella Forma]

Worked perfectly thanks Danielle

[Danielle]

No problem I'm glad it worked for you!

Hi Danielle,

I tried to incorporate in my code, but it didn't work. Here is my code. Can you tell why it won't work for me?

{* $Id: customer_manufacturer_products.tpl,v 1.12 2005/12/29 08:43:52 max Exp $ *}
{if $manufacturer.is_image eq 'Y' || $manufacturer.descr ne '' || $manufacturer.url ne ''}
<table>
<tr>
{if $manufacturer.is_image eq 'Y'}

{* NEW CODE*}
<TD valign="top">{if $manufacturer.url ne ''}{/if}[img]{$xcart_web_dir}/mlogo.php?manufacturerid={$manufacturer.manufactur erid}[/img]{if $manufacturer.url ne ''}{/if}</TD>
{elseif $manufacturer.url ne ''}
<TD>{$lng.lbl_url}: {$manufacturer.url}</TD>
{* END NEW CODE*}

{* replaced code to open new window with manufacturer's logo
    <td valign="top">{if $manufacturer.url ne ''}<a href="{$manufacturer.url}">{/if}<img src="{if $manufacturer.image_path ne ''}{$manufacturer.image_path}{else}{$xcart_web_dir}/image.php?id={$manufacturer.manufacturerid}&amp;type=M{/if}" alt="{$manufacturer.manufacturer|escape}" />{if $manufacturer.url ne ''}</a>{/if}</td>
{elseif $manufacturer.url ne ''}
    <td>{$lng.lbl_url}: <a href="{$manufacturer.url}">{$manufacturer.url}</a></td>
*}

</tr>
<tr>
{/if}
    <td valign="top">{$manufacturer.descr}</td>
</tr>
</table>
<br />
{/if}
{capture name=dialog}
{if $products ne ''}
{if $sort_fields}
<div align="right">{include file="main/search_sort_by.tpl" url="manufacturers.php?manufacturerid=`$manufacturer.manufacturerid`&page=`$navigation_page`&" sort_fields=$sort_fields selected=$sort direction=$sort_direction}</div>
<br />
{/if}
{ include file="customer/main/navigation.tpl" }
{include file="customer/main/products.tpl" products=$products}
{else}
{$lng.txt_no_products_in_man}
{/if}
{/capture}
{include file="dialog.tpl" title=$manufacturer.manufacturer content=$smarty.capture.dialog extra='width="100%"'}
{ include file="customer/main/navigation.tpl" }

thank you,
Kara

I found the solution: The following HTML code will enable you to open all of your links in a new window. Place this code between your <HEAD> and </HEAD> tags in your /customer/home.tpl
<base target="main">
