Hi guys, our company has just got a new website and the backend uses umbraco. I am in charge of all the back end stuff and another guy is in charge of inputting information. He wanted to know if i could make it so that when you insert a hyperlink, the default option is that it opens the hyperlink in a new window rather than in the frame. I have been looking into this all day and i cannot see where this can be changed. Is this possible?
If you are using the tiny mce editor, found when using a richtext editor datatype, then the anchor button opens a new window, where you insert the link, and can select from a select list what to do.. Including opening the link in a new window.
yeah i have seen that but i wanted to know if you could change the order of the list so that the top option is set to open link in new window. Most of our links need to be opened in new window and the guy keeps forgetting to set it and wanted it default.
I'm pretty sure there is no way to admin this. The best I could come up with (which I probably wouldn't recommend) is to modify /umbraco/plugins/tinymce3/insertLink.aspx and add some javascript to auto select it on page load. Should work, but if you do an upgrade, you'll loose your changes.
Simon. Does your contentguy work in Firefox? If so, a solution might be to install greasemonkey and just do a small JavaScript script.. Ofcource this solution is way out there..
Editing options in UI for inserting hyperlinks
