Is it possible to insert HTML code within Web Link module ? Presently it is only accepting normal text entry in the description field.

Thanks in advance.

Yes it is, open visit.php, look for the line:
$myts->makeTareaData4Show($description,0)
change this into:
$myts->makeTareaData4Show($description,1)

Thanks Shine :) It works. I wonder is it also possible to open a new window "_blank" when a link is clicked within the description field just like News Module.

Now the HTML is working with Web Links module but when I click any links within the Description field it is opening up the page in the same window.

Thanks again.

REPLY: Thanks. Thats not I am looking for. Now what I am doing is , manually entering target="_blank" in every description where link is there.

What happening is that, if I enter a simple link without tag like https://xoops.org (Please click) it is opening up new window. If I enter a same link like this XOOPS(same window), it open in same window. Now to open a New window with the same link I have to use target="_blank" XOOPS(same window). I have many links like this.

That is correct.
For the forst example it fetches automaticly the bb-code when you enter a link as mentioned above. And as you know, the bb-code when writing an url is always _blank.

The second example:
when you are gonna use html, the bb-code will not have any influence at all on the entered link. Therefore, when you use the
By enabling html doesn't mean you have disabled the BB-code!

Let us take another example:
The news module:
When you write your news you want sometimes to refer to an article within your website. In that case you are gonna use the html instead of the standard BB-code. After all, you don't want ppl that everytime they click on that intern link a seperate window opens of your own website. (at least I don't)
When the url is an external reference, then I make just write the url and know that it automaticly makes use of the BB-code,........seperate window.

REPLY: Yes, thats true :) I think I have to either look for some different module like MyAds or need to modify the present mylink code because I have 4000 articles to be posted with many links within it. Thanks again.
