How to get web links in Account to open in new browser page

[ptemplin7]

I know we need to add an target="_blank" to the href statement. But where would I put this edit?

For example, we are using the website standard field in Account to link to a clients website. Entry of the link is fine. On the detailview it shows as a hyperlink. but when we click ont he link it opens and over wriotes the Sugar page. We need this to open in a new browse page.

Where could I make this edit in Sugar, or is this a firefox tweak?

Thanks for suggestions,
Paris

Hi, Paris.

You have to use a customCode.
There are threads explaining how to use it.

Thanks,

I had too search for a while to find something relevant to 5.0 instead of 3.5!

Anyway for everyone else, check this forum post:

I will be testing my customcode!

In:

sugar/custom/modules/accounts/detailviewdefs.php
Add:

 'customCode' => '<a href="http://{$fields.website.value}" target="_blank" >{$fields.website.value}</a>', 
  

to "website".

Finally got it to work.

Note to get it to really work I had to add
'type' => 'link',
as well.

Remember that if you use studio to edit your layouts these edits are wiped out! so make sure to make a copy and do a doc merge if you need to make edits via studio.

Also make sure that there is a http:// by default in the field otherwise the link will open as a directory of your website not the website.

Hope everyone can get this to work!

thanks Paris
