Portal 10.1.4 seeded Page link Item type - Getting it to open in new window

I've been working on creating a new portal and am having some difficulty with Page Links. I am using version 10.1.4 out of the box. When I create a page link to another page and click on it, the page always takes over the current window.
Under normal items, you can select the option to display item in new browser window. I do not see this option when using a Page Link.
My questions are :
Is this option to display somewhere else vs. Page Properties?
Has anyone created a custom item type to achieve this function?
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
Something you could try is changing the way the item is displayed using a HTML Content Layout, this is a great feature of portal 10.1.4 and allows you to customise the region where the items are displayed.
Try this:
1) Create a new HTML Template
2) Select HTML Content Layout from the list
3) insert this code:
<oracle>
if '#ITEM.TYPE#' in ('baseportletinstance', 'portlet_instance') then
htp.p('#ITEM.PORTLETCONTENT#');
else
htp.p('#ITEM.TITLE#');
end if;
</oracle>
4) go to your page and edit your region properties
5) On the attributes tab chose the Html template you created.
the items should be displayed now as links that open in a new browser window.
Hope this helps..
Regards,
Juan

List-Items (Type=URL) - how to open in New Window

I use a List for deliver information in a region.
The list consist of some URLs.
I would like to open a new Window (not use the active Window), if one element was clicked.
With html-text-region I could user "target=...", but this is not usable in the List entries, it should be a simple URL.
Have we any attributes for such a behavior?

Lutz,
You can achieve what you want in a list template. For example the sample application uses the following fragment in the Standard Unordered List template:
<li>#TEXT#</li>
Simple change that to
<li><a target="new" href="#LINK#" style="font-weight:bold;" class="list">#TEXT#</a></li>
or something similar.

How do I get firefox to open a new window when i click on a link in a webpage ?

When I click on a link in a webpage in Firefox, generally it opens the new page in the window i am in (though some times it does not). How do I get it to open a new window (or tab) each time I click a link.
For example, on www.bbc.co.uk if I click on a link, the new page opens in the same window, if I then click another link in the new window, again, it opens in the same window. To get back to the original window, I have to use the back button twice. Surely there is a setting so that all 3 windows can be open on separate tabs or separate windows.
I have been to the tabs window in options, but doesn't seem to make a difference.

Open link/bookmark in new tab in same window:
*Middle-click (press the mouse scroll wheel) the link
*Ctrl+left click the link
*right-click the link, choose "Open Link in New Tab"
Open link/bookmark in new window:
* Shift+Enter on the link
* Shift+left click on the link

When I click on an email link it opens in the email window instead of opening a new window, how to get it to open a new window instead

It's Comcast email, most links are to articles from the Wall Street Journal. Lately an email from Charles Schwab broker with a link to a pdf file has been doing the same. When I click on the link, it opens within the email frame, which is about 1/3 filled up with the toolbar, mailboxes, headings etc. If it opens with 2 bars on the right side to move down, I can see the whole article, but often it opens with only one bar on the right side which will not let me get all the way to the end of the page.
It's been happening for several weeks. I got a new computer and it's still happening. Comcast sounds like they've never heard of it. Most recently happened today. I tried the same email link with IE and it opened a new window.

Firefox sent an email to me to confirm that I had asked the above question. The email had a link to click. When I clicked it from Firefox, nothing happened. Then I opened IE, signed into Comcast, opened the email, clicked the link, and it brought me here.

In Firefox 5 links with target="_blank" don't open in new window or tab. Is there a way to make them do that?

I've search some info about this and it seems like there's a lot of people that are annoyed by links opening in new window/tab and that the 'target="_blank"' is not valid in strict XHTML. I'm guessing this could be reasons why Firefox 5 ignores the 'target="_blank"'. But in some cases you really want to open a new widow, in my case I'm using a flash application and want to open links in new windows from there and then the ctrl-click doesn't work. When opening the link in the same page and then go back the application is reloaded and it's state is lost. Probably should try to find out if there's some other way to open links from a flash application, but I'm wondering if there's a way to make Firefox 5 open 'target="_blank"' links in new tabs.

I don't know how to delete my question, anyway I'm not having this problem anymore. In our organisation the IT department deploy Firefox updates with certain settings and limitations, in the tap-options the checkbox for opening new windows in new tabs where checked but disabled. They made some changes to make this checkbox enabled and now it works as expected if it's check new windows open i new tabs and if it's not in new windows. They never opens in the same tab as they did before.

Links in Mail (Mac) no longer open a new window in Firefox.

When I click on a link in a Mail (Version 4.4 (1082)) message, it simply defaults to the existing open tab in Firefox, rather than opening a new tab and the page indicated by the link. This just started today and I don't know of anything I changed, other than upgrading to Snow Leopard (Version 10.6.6) a few weeks ago. I searched preferences in Mail and Firefox but did not see options.

Hi Barbara,
Could be many things, we should start with this...
"Try Disk Utility
1. Insert the Mac OS X Install disc, then restart the computer while holding the C key.
2. When your computer finishes starting up from the disc, choose Disk Utility from the Installer menu. (In Mac OS X 10.4 or later, you must select your language first.)
*Important: Do not click Continue in the first screen of the Installer. If you do, you must restart from the disc again to access Disk Utility.*
3. Click the First Aid tab.
4. Select your Mac OS X volume.
5. Click Repair. Disk Utility checks and repairs the disk."
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106214
Then try a Safe Boot, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, reboot when it completes.
(Safe boot may stay on the gray radian for a long time, let it go, it's trying to repair the Hard Drive.)
If perchance you can't find your install Disc, at least try it from the Safe Boot part onward.
Also, Very Important, how much Free Space is on your Hard Drive first of all? Click on the Macintosh HD on the Desktop, then do a Get Info on it.

Even on Firefox 28.0 i can't load my new pages to a tab but rather it opens a new window and i see ths has been around for quite a while, can someone fix this u

I can't load pages into a new tab anymore even when i right click a link and say open in a new tab it doesn't yet i use Firefox 28.0. even when i tried 29 alpha it still had the same problem.
What is the solution?

'''Try Firefox Safe Mode''' to see if the problem goes away. [[Troubleshoot Firefox issues using Safe Mode|Firefox Safe Mode]] is a troubleshooting mode that turns off some settings and disables most add-ons (extensions and themes).
''(If you're using an added theme, switch to the Default theme.)''
If Firefox is open, you can restart in Firefox Safe Mode from the Help menu by clicking on the '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled...''' menu item: 
[[Image:FirefoxSafeMode|width=520]] 
If Firefox is not running, you can start Firefox in Safe Mode as follows:
* On Windows: Hold the '''Shift''' key when you open the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
* On Mac: Hold the '''option''' key while starting Firefox.
* On Linux: Quit Firefox, go to your Terminal and run ''firefox -safe-mode'' (you may need to specify the Firefox installation path e.g. /usr/lib/firefox)
''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 [[Troubleshoot extensions, themes and hardware acceleration issues to solve common Firefox problems]] article to find the cause.
''To exit 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 others with the same problem.

Created a button to link to URL, need it to open a new window

Firefox 3.6.13 - Why, when I use the dropdown File menu to open a new window, does FF open my Home Page tabs? All I want is a blank page.

I have four tabs in my home page:
2 - https://mail.google.com/mail/;
1 - http://us.mg5.mail.yahoo.com/dc/launch;
1 - http://www.facebook.com/login.php
When I use the "File" drop-down menu I want only a blank page, but I get the four tabs. How go I get other New Windows to open as blank pages?

A new window open by default with the Home page(s), tabs open a blank page.
The only ways to avoid opening a new window with the home page is either to set the home page to about:blank (ie disabling the home page) or use a bookmark with the location set to about:blank and use Shift + left-click to open that link in a new window.

Hopw to open a new window of the same page (duplicate window)?

When I open a new window I want Firefox to open a duplicate of the page I'm on. If I open a new window it always opens my homepage window.
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== this is not a bug. it is a feature needed if it's not already available.

Clicking any tab or portal link it opens a new window

Hello,
We are using SAP EP7 and when we click any portal tab or link it opens a new window instead of opening it in the same one.
What can we do to open tabs and links in the same window?
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
Yes, it looks like a problem with WPM (WorkProtect Mode).
Have a look at this SAP NOTE : 734861. Incase of of iViews, if any data that you entered needs to be saved, then as per the configuration a new window opens up whenever you click any link. This allows you to continue working with the old window, save the data and thereby avoid loss of data. This configuration can be tuned to make it user friendly.
Also have a look at this thread : New window opens on every EP page click for *some* users
Hope this helps.

IWeb • How Do I Make Links in an Embedded PDF Document Open in New Page?

On this page http://ostyn-newman.com/Gov_Downloads.html I have a PDF document that is embedded. I tried an IFrame, but everything seemed to work better for me with the "Embed" code. I am open to changing this if it would be better. Here's my problem. I can get the PDF document to display fine, but when I click on the links in the PDF document, the destination page opens in the embedded window. I want the links to open the destination in a new window.
I created the part of the document with most of the links (Pages 8.5 - 56) in Numbers and cut and pasted the table into a Pages document to create the completed document on our site. I exported the docuemnt from Pages as a PDF file which is what you see. There is also a link to download the file on the same page which works just fine.
I have tried to insert the target="_blank" code but have not been able to get it to open the destination pages in a new window. I am inserting the code by using the Insert/Widget/HTML Snippet Feature in IWeb. Here is the code I am using.
<embed src=
"http://ostyn-newman.com/Media/GS27F0026XTextfile.pdf"
style="width:850px; height:1000px;
border-width:0px;
border-color:#FFCC66;
border-style:solid;"
scrolling="auto" >
</embed>
I am not a coder and have just used Google to find the code to cut and paste and have played around with it to get to the place I am. If anybody can tweak the code I have or offer some totally new code for me to insert that will get this to work would be greatly appreciated.
Please keep in mind that most of the people who visit and use this page are government employees and are almost exclusivey using Explorer.

Thank you Jeff,
I tried your original suggestion and now my inserted html widget reads
<embed src=
"http://ostyn-newman.com/Media/GS27F0026XTextfile.pdf"
style="width:850px; height:1000px;
border-width:0px;
border-color:#FFCC66;
border-style:solid;"
scrolling="auto" target="_blank">
</embed>
It is live on my site. You can see that the embedded document still opens the destination links in the embedded window.
As for your other two suggestions, thank you as well. I am aware of those techniques and did not use them because that is not how I want the other PDF links on the page to behave. The catalog and autocad blocks downloads in the box at the top should simply download (or behave however the client's browser is configured to handle downloaded PDF documents or zip files.) I don't intend to force those to open a new window. I could also have our client click on a link to the PDF document and open it in a new page (like in your second suggestion) but I was hoping to embed the PDF and have it automatically viewable on our Download • Terms • Prices Page with all of the PDF search functions intact as well as the links be active. My only complaint at this point is that the links in the embedded PDF document open the destination page in the embed window instead of a new window. I only want to force a new window because the destination window doesn't behave properly when it opens in my embed window and it is difficult to figure out how to go back to the my PDF document when a destination window gets opened in the embed window. The code you sent didn't do the trick. Or maybe I didn't get it exactly right. That is why I included it above. Thanks for trying though. I appreciate the effort.
I would be willing to bypass the imbed/iFrame route altogether if I could just somehow drop the Pages document into the IWeb page and retain the search and link features, but I've not been able to figure out how to do that. When I was exploring how to directly drop a Pages document into an IWeb page is when I stumbled on the method of embedding a PDF document into an IWeb page to retain the important search and link features.

"Open in New Window" function in the page toolbar

Hi,
I am new to portal development and I have what looks like as an easy Iview modification:
I need to implement the "open in new window" Function as a link, directly in the page toolbar (next to History, Back, Forward...) and not as an Option in the menu.
This should be done in the Pagetoolbar and not the light pageToolbar.
I downloaded the PAR file "com.sap.portal.navigation.pagetoolbar" but I don't how what I should change.
Can someone please help me?
Many thanks and points in advance.
Regards

Hi Stephane,
Are you using the default framework page in your desktop. Use the light framework page. It has the "Open in new window" as a link in the page tool bar.
If you still wish to stick to the default framework page; firstly you may want to remove the existing "open in new window" from the menu. Then you may need to copy the same code from the light fw toolbar par file for that 1 single link and paste it in your default fw toolbar. I can tell you the exact code tomorrow.
Hope the first option may be desirable to you.
