[Solved] How can I set target blank for top banner?

[NixxxoN]

Hello everyone! This is my first message here.

I'm new to prestashop editing in hard code and I have some trouble in editing some stuff in hard code, I'm a bit lost as to what files I have to edit. Prestashop has an enormous amount of files and you can get a bit lost sometimes.

The question is, how can I set target="_blank" to the top banner?

I tried to edit the blockbanner.tpl and nothing happened. I tried to turn off HTML purifier (suggestion I found in this forum I think) and nothing...

I'm using the default bootstrap theme, but with one of the colour templates, I think its the number 5 with the maroon/cream colours.

Hi,

you have to modify in the file : /modules/blockbanner/blockbanner.tpl (if the file doesn't exists in the folder: /themes/default-bootstrap/modules/blockbanner/blockbanner.tpl)

change the first line from :

<a href="{if $banner_link}{$banner_link|escape:'htmlall':'UTF-8'}{else}{if isset($force_ssl) && $force_ssl}{$base_dir_ssl}{else}{$base_dir}{/if}{/if}" title="{$banner_desc|escape:'htmlall':'UTF-8'}">

to:

<a target="_blank" href="{if $banner_link}{$banner_link|escape:'htmlall':'UTF-8'}{else}{if isset($force_ssl) && $force_ssl}{$base_dir_ssl}{else}{$base_dir}{/if}{/if}" title="{$banner_desc|escape:'htmlall':'UTF-8'}">

(add the red highllighted code to the <a > tag)

If the change is not visible, then you have to clear cache from BackOffice:  Advanced Parameters -> Performance.

On this page pay attention to the option: Template compilation , it should be set to "Recompile templates if the files have been updated".

It was the cache thing. I cleared it and now it works! Thank you!
