Help with Affiliate links to open new tabs


Recommended Posts

Hello

 

Is there any way when someone clicks my 'buy' button (Link) which sends them to another website to purchase the product they want that it opens a new tab instead of using the same one as my site?

 

The reason I ask is I would like the customer to be able to shop for the product they want in another tab and not lose my site in the process so they can continue to shop on mine?

 

When adding a link to the product I was wondering if you can change it to open a new tab instead of new window under the Target drop down?

 

Any ideas?

 

Thanks

add

target="_blank"

to your anchor tag

 

Thanks for the reply, sorry im new to this and don't know where that would go?

 

say for example the page I wanted to send traffic to was

 

http://www.amazon.co.uk/Apple-16GB-Touch-Generation-Launched/dp/B00D6DCBX2/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1416150100&sr=8-1&keywords=ipod+touch

 

what would I need to do to it?

Ok... after ages of searching I have found this post which is a work around

 

http://www.prestashop.com/forums/topic/341955-cannot-set-target-for-external-links-in-cms-page/

 

it says:

 

"Okey I found a workaround. Disable HTML purifier in General preferences. Save your Content, then turn it back on."

 

is there another way of doing this without having to disable the purifier every time? Or will I be ok to leave HTML Purifier turned off? What happens then?
