Hello,

The easiest way to do it is http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:$wgExternalLinkTarget Not the best solution though as it modifies every external URL.

Hello,

I have a form with a link to the regular search page. The user needs to click the link and then later return to the form page to finish filling it out. I would rather them use a separate tab for the search rather than using the browsers 'Back' button which resets some of the form fields.

About this hard if you added this to MediaWiki:Common.js

/** Popup links * Use <span class="pops">[http://www.wikipedia.com Wikipedia]</span> * or <span class="pops">[[Homepage|Home]]</span> **/ addOnloadHook( function() { var pops = function( elems ) { for (var i=0; i<elems.length; i++) { if ( !(' '+elems[i].className+' ').match( / pops / ) ) continue; var anchs = elems[i].getElementsByTagName('a'); for (var j=0; j<anchs.length; j++) anchs[j].target = '_blank'; } }; var bc = document.getElementById('bodyContent'); var tags = ['span', 'div', 'table', 'td', 'th']; for (var i=0; i<tags.length; i++) pops( bc.getElementsByTagName( tags[i] ) ); } );

Yeah, I saw that.  How hard would it be to write a little tag extension where I call whatever wiki code is usually used to parse "[[... ]]" to get an HTML anchor and add the "target='_blank'" myself?

Thanks, al

You could add the target attribute to the extension http://m.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:LinkAttributes (or I can do it later this week, if it helps).

Thanks Leo.  This works fine and this is probably the quickest I've ever gotten anything done with MW! /^)

Thanks Richard.  My eyes are still red from searching the extensions late last night /^)  Can you tell me if DPL will allow me to embed a result list of pages that come from a *full text* search of a page using either 1.) the regular wiki content search or 2.) a full text search of a semantic property of type Text?  Then, the user will be able to click on each link for review before filling out the form.  If I can get this, I won't care much about the links opening to a new tab.

Al

What is it they need from this other link?  It might be possible to do something like use DPL to extract this information automatically.
