External links in Business package for web editing

Hello,
We are testing Busines package for web editing (BPfWE) for 2 requirements: to show web content in portal and also to show external links in portal.
But we have problem with the latter (external links). Does anyone know how to add external links (web pages from different server) to BPfWE so we could browse internal and external web pages at one location? The problem is, that I can create new external link in Knowledge management, but unlike other documents, I can't publish it to BPfWE.
So far, we've found 2 solutions:
1. Separate BPfWE content (use it for internal pages) and classic Knowledge management content (use it for external pages) with different navigation tabs.
2. Create HTML document with javascript to open external web page and publish it with BPfWE.
But both solutions are quite strange and I still hope that external links could be shown in BPfWE as well and in some easier way. Could someone help?
Thank you,
Marek Jenej

How to force external links to open in new browser window/tab?

Greetings. I'm here because searching elsewhere kept coming up with references to javascript. I've created an interactive PDF with both internal and external links. It works just fine when viewed in either Acrobat or Reader. However, it is being downloaded to users' browsers and when they access the external URLs, the new sites replace the existing page in the same window.
Is there a simple way for me to include an action in the PDF prior to distribution that will force it to open external URLs in a new browser window or tab?
And for the record, I barely know how to spell Javascript, much less how to write or implement it. So if there is a simple solution, I hope you can also help walk me through the steps to implement it.
Thanks a ton.

There are two issues here:
- How to do it using JS
- How to do it in a non-Adobe browser plugin
The first is pretty straight forward. You use a code like this, replacing the dummy URL with your own:
app.launchURL("http://www.example.com", true);
The second issue is more problematic, and in fact there isn't really a solution to it. If the plugin used supports this method then it will work, if not, then you're out of luck. Unfortunately, outside of the Adobe software I don't think that any other plugin supports it.

Opening external link in a new browser window

Some of the external links in my web page need to open in
their own window, leaving my site still open in the background. Can
anyone tell me how to do this? I don't see an option anywhere when
I am creating these links.
The links are to, for example, "The City of ......", and
could be quite long to traverse. I don't want my visitors to have
to click their browser's back button who knows how many times to
get back to my site.
I would appreciate any suggestions, thanks

It's not valid in a Strict doctype, either HTML or XHTML.
A better way to do this would be to see this tutorial -

How to Open External Links in a New Tab

I want links in web pages to open in the current tab so I have browser.link.open_newwindow=1. But how do I make links from extenal applications open in a new tab?

Try setting the following to 3, not really sure if preference was actually removed or just won't accept 2, the intent was that the two variables be the same (I think)
browser.link.open_external -- Where to open links sent to the browser from an external application
* 2 (default in SeaMonkey): Opens external links in a new window
* 3 (default in Firefox): Opens external links in a new tab in the most recent window
* 1 (or anything else): Opens external links in current window
Note: In Firefox 2 and above, via “Tools → Options → Tabs → New pages should be opened in:” (same as browser.link. open_newwindow)
Pref removed from Firefox 3.5

Open external links in new window

I can't seem to make firefox open external links, e.g. links opened from other applications, in a new window. This is particularly troublesome on multiple desktops since a new tab may be opened in a firefox window on a desktop other than the active one.
This is no option in the preferences or in about:config that appears to affect this behaviour. It seems there used to be browser.links.open_external that was later removed.

This link will open in de inappbrowser:
adobeDPS.dialogService.open('http://pubbly.nl')
This link will open in Safari:
adobeDPS.dialogService.openExternal('http://pubbly.nl')
If you use jQuery you can do something like this:
// Each anchor tag will be opened in an external browser.
$('a').each(function(){
     var url = $(this).attr('href');
     $(this).on('click', function(e){
          e.preventDefault();
          adobeDPS.dialogService.openExternal(url);
More explanation about the dialogService can be found here:

Opening an external link using javascript. Keeping new window in front

I am displaying a photo from an external link when called upon from my swf. When the user clicks a button, up pops a corresponding photo in a new browser window. After the photo window has opened, if the user clicks another button the photo browser will update but its no longer in front. I know I need to use the focus() command but cannot figure how to incorporate it into my AS3 code.
var req=new URLRequest();
function scrollPanePopulate(event:Event){
     //create the temp variables
     var calledPhoto=pntxml.row[pointindex].PhotoUrl;
     req=pntxml.row[pointindex].PhotoUrl;
     var jscommand:String = "var newwin=window.open('"+req+"','win','height=400,width=600,left=650,top=50,toolbar=no,scrollbars=yes,location=no');";
     var url:URLRequest = new URLRequest("javascript:" + jscommand +"void(0);"); navigateToURL(url, "_self");
The above code works great but I want to keep the photo window in front when it is refreshed. Any suggestions?
thanks in advance...
-josh

var req=new URLRequest();
function scrollPanePopulate(event:Event){
     //create the temp variables
     var calledPhoto=pntxml.row[pointindex].PhotoUrl;

     var jscommand:String = "var newwin=window.open('"+req+"','win','height=400,width=600,left=650,top=50,toolbar=no,scrollbars=yes,location=no');";
     var url:URLRequest = new URLRequest("javascript:" + jscommand +"void(0);newwin.focus();");

// p.s. you should be using externalinterface class.

External links suddenly open in a new window instead of a tab

I am using Nightly (20.0a1) on WIndows 8, I use the program Teamspeak 3 and it used to be that whenever I clicked on a link it would just open in a new tab in the Nightly window that was open, but now it opens a completely new Nightly window. I have the box ticked in settings, I've gone through all of the about:config things I've seen online and nothing works, I really have no idea what to do. I just did something with envoirenmental variables which didn't help (meant that it opened a whole new instance of Nightly whenever I clicked on an external link) so I deleted the variable. Anyone got any suggestions? If it is relevant, before this problem started I dragged a tab from one window of Nightly to another (think it might've been the cause of this), and yes, I've tried dragging tabs around from window to window to fix this and it didn't work.

Thanks, but I already had it set to that, I've heard of many people with this problem and tried literally all fo the about:config fixes that I could find but none worked, I think it is some sort of assosiation problem with hyperlinked text with windows but I really don't know. Anyone who can help me please do, this is getting annoying. Keep in mind that I have Windows 8 when making suggestions also.

I've migrated FF settings to a new PC and no external link opens now

Couple days ago I've received my new PC and migrated all important data from the old one using a special W8 tool. I've also installed Thunderbird and FF anew, and migrated their setting using tools recommended here (FF Sync + MozBackup). And suddenly I've lost a possibility to open any external link in FF now no matter the source (Thunderbird or any other piece of software). Now I have to copy and paste URLs manually. It's not the best solution. Old PC OS: Vista Business, new PC OS: W8.1. Thanks in advance.

You may also wish to try '''Try Firefox Safe Mode''' before a reset to see if the problem goes away. Safe Mode is a troubleshooting mode, which disables most add-ons.
''(If you're not using it, switch to the Default theme.)''
* On Windows you can open Firefox 4.0+ in Safe Mode by holding the '''Shift''' key when you open the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
* On Mac you can open Firefox 4.0+ in Safe Mode by holding the '''option''' key while starting Firefox.
* On Linux you can open Firefox 4.0+ in Safe Mode by quitting Firefox and then going to your Terminal and running: firefox -safe-mode (you may need to specify the Firefox installation path e.g. /usr/lib/firefox)
* Or open the Help menu and click on the '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled...''' menu item while Firefox is running.
[[Image:FirefoxSafeMode|width=520]]
''Once you get the pop-up, just select "'Start in Safe Mode"''
[[Image:Safe Mode Fx 15 - Win]]
'''''If the issue is not present in Firefox Safe Mode''''', your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to figure out which one. Please follow the [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] article for that.
''To exit the Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before opening Firefox for normal use again.''
''When you figure out what's causing your issues, please let us know. It might help other users who have the same problem.''
Thank you.

Why is Firefox opening a separate browser window for each link instead of a new tab in the current browser window?

Suddenly firefox has started opening a new, separate browser window for every link and thing I open. It used to just open a new tab in the current browser. I must have closed down 15 browsers when trying to get back to a previous web page - the back button doesn't work when each click leads to a new window opening! I went into options and my settings have not changed, they still say "open new tab" for links. This just started happening out of the blue today. What's up?

Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of your add-ons is causing your problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).
* Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.
See [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] and [[Troubleshooting plugins]]
If it does work in Safe-mode then disable all your extensions and then try to find which is causing it by enabling one at a time until the problem reappears.
* Use "Disable all add-ons" on the [[Safe mode]] start window to disable all extensions.
* Close and restart Firefox after each change via "File > Exit" (Mac: "Firefox > Quit"; Linux: "File > Quit")

Firefox has started loading external links in a new window instead of a new tab

Until recently, external links have always opened in a new tab. The last few days thaey've started opening in a new window. I can't find anything I have changed.

I am running IE Tab 2 (FF 3.6+) 2.12.21.1 by ietab.net and was experiencing this problem... I just disabled it and the problem went away.

Please add the option to be able to upload/link new pdfs with the in-browser editing. I have a restaurant client who is constantly updating their menu! Please help so they can do this themselves!

Thank you so much for your help! I am so relieved. I will have explain how to do this to my client, but a big weight is off my back!
A long learning process and actually such an easy fix. So glad you responded. Again thank you...

Clicking on External Link in Safari Opens New Tab

I think it has to do with one of the preferences I've set within Safari but I just can't put a finger on which one.
Basically, I reinstalled Yosemite 10.10.3 on my MacBook Pro 13" (Late 2013) about a week ago. And then I tinkered with Safari preferences.
Since then, whenever I click on an external link, for example, an email address, Safari opens a New Tab instead of launching my Mail app.
Not sure how to do undo this.

From the Mail menu bar, select
Mail ▹ Preferences... ▹ General ▹ Default email reader: Mail
If you don't use Mail, you may be able to set the preference in the mail client you do use.

How do I get a link within a PDF to open a new tab in a web browser?

How do I get a link within a PDF to open a new tab in a web browser? Previous forums (for earlier versions of InDesign and Acrobat) mention something about JavaScript, but I'm using InDesign CC and Adobe Acrobat Pro CC
Thanks.

When you're looking at the PDF that's on your site, is it opened in the browser or directly i Acrobat/Reader? If in the borwser, do you know if it's being viewed in the browser's default PDF viewer or Acrobat/Reader? It probably won't work in non-Adobe PDF viewers.
Are you saying that when you click the link that two new browser tabs are opened with the same URL, instead of just one as you'd expect, or something else?

Opening dynamic external link in new window

Hi,
I have a XML file with data and one field is an http external
url address, what I'm trying to do on the frontend is create a
button that will call that url from my XML file it goes in the
format of {product.link}. I've looked at flex examples around the
net about opening external links in new windows but nothing to use
an url that has been called via a datasource.
Ideally it would also bypass the popup blocker issue and also
allow me to choose to display toolbars, scrollbars etc.
If anyone could help I would be very greatful
Thanks

hi,
I believe what you looking can be meet by working on Portal Content administration and in SPRO, navigation. Please eloborate more on what you have done and how you want your custom link to appear in portal e.g iview, tab, or seperate window.
Information from your end could help to understand or even to get more knowledge about this.
