[v1.6.1.5] [SOLVED] Edit block banner module to open link in a new tab

[Nandos]

Hi guys, someone can help me with a little thing? This is a marginal modification i want to make on my site, but if it works, would be a nice addition. Basically, i want to modify the block banner module in order to open the link associated to the banner image in a new tab instead of the current one.

I thought to add somewhere, like in blockbanner.tpl, a sort of ..target="blank"... but to be honest i don't know where...

Thanks in advance!

Assuming you're using the default PrestaShop v1.6.1.5 theme, copy modules/blockbanner/blockbanner.tpl to themes/default-bootstrap/modules/blockbanner/blockbanner.tpl, then you can change line 25 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 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'}" target="_blank">

Perfect, it works correctly, thank you  In the folder .../themes/default-bootstrap/modules/ there wasn't the blockbanner folder, i made that and looks like it's working with no issues so far.

Thanks again!

Hi,

 

I change, but url open in new tab, not open in new window...

 

And, what should be the shape of the link when you configure the module to charge an external page in a new window?!?

It's normal for the page to open in a new tab. It's up to the user to configure their browser to open links in a new window. You'd have to write JavaScript to override the browser preference to open in a new window.

Thank you so much...

 

Pls, I am looking for and answer to the second question - What should be the format of the link when I configure the module to open an external page... ???

 

I write http://www.mypage.com , but  returned me error 404 no such page...
