Hi!

If you want to make all footer links open in a new tab, you can apply the following simple change:

1) Enabled Custom Skin module
2) Create the skins/custom_skin/default/en/footer_menu.tpl file with the following content:

<ul id="secondary-menu" class="clearfix">
{foreach:getItems(),i,item}
  <li {displayItemClass(i):h}><a href="{item.url}" target="_blank" {if:item.active}class="active"{end:}>{item.label}</a></li>
{end:}
</ul>

3) Reload the page and check the results.

If you need to make only particular link open in a new window, please let me know. It will require a bit more complicated mod, but I will explain you what to do.

Hi Tony,

I need to make only a particular link open in a new window - I have one in both my top main menu and one in my footer menu. Can you explain what to do? I have enabled the custom skin module.

Thank you!

Hi Belinda!

Could you please let me know what is your condition for opening the certain footer item in a new window? Once I understand what items must be opened in window, I will be able to suggest about the mod.

Hello Tony,

I would like to open the "news" link on my top menu (link in the 7th position) in a new window. I would also like to open "blog" in the 3rd position on my footer menu in a new window.

And this is a perfect example of how to treat others on a free help forum like this. Thanks for playing nice. Hopefully Tony has an answer for you soon, though he is preparing to leave and come to Chicago for IRCE next week.

Sorry for being silent on this task for a while. I did not forget about this task and I will come to it in two weeks. I will keep you posted.

Tony.
