I've been looking for almost an hour and can't find this...

In modules like News and Liase, I'm using bbCode to insert a url. When I click on the link, it opens it in another window.

How do I create a local link in a News story that opens a page within XOOPS in the same window? Such as a link to the Downloads section?

Sorry... this has got to be easy.. I just haven't been able to find it.

Thanks in advance.

Not sure with bbcode, but with HTML you should be able to use target="_self"

with the current bbcode set up i dont know. i can only suggest using a modified siteurl bbcode

Link...


*i added a space next to the [ and ] . the code tag didnt want to show the code.

yes it opens in a new window .but i suggest modifying class/module.textsanitizer.php

old code:

newcode:

then it will open in the current window.

I did find that in News using an HTML hyperlink with a relative path worked to open the page in the same browser. Like this:



However, I wasn't able to get this same thing to work with the Liase module, so I'm going to go ahead and do the hack and then use the siteurl bbcode (which I didn't even know about before... I was just using url as the bbcode).

(I don't normally like to do hacks, as you have to keep applying them after each upgrade, and I'm not that organized. )

Note that if HTML is supported in your editor, you should be able to use



to also make the page load in the current browser.

Thanks for your help on this!
