Track The Shipment link to open in a new page

[sgtbash]

Hi All.

Don't know if there is anyone else out there that has the same annoyance with this as me but if you do, can you bump my bug please?

Basically I use the 'Track the shipment' link a LOT every day to track the nights shipments which by default opens in the same window/tab/page and you have to use the back button to go back into your PS store.

Much easier to sit there and click, look for 'Delivered' and use the keyboard short cut to close the page and PS is there ready waiting for you to change the status (no load time, just waiting there for you)

If you agree - a much appreciated bug bump would be great.

Thanks

P.S I've edited the page myself (core edit) but it is obviously overwritten on every new update or release.

Yes I agree this should be fixed, especially since it's an easy fix. We haven't upgraded so a one time fix (by editing a core file) has fixed this issue for us. So can't help with frequent updaters but for a quick fix this is what we did:

Around line 519 (1.2.5) of /admin/tabs/AdminOrders.php... change this line:

               echo $this->l('Tracking number:').' '.$order->shipping_number.' (shipping_number, $carrier->url).'">'.$this->l('Track the shipment').')';

and change it to:

               echo $this->l('Tracking number:').' '.$order->shipping_number.' (shipping_number, $carrier->url).'" target="_blank">'.$this->l('Track the shipment').')';

HTH!

Hey, thanks for the post and code to fix it - I lost my code due to the upgrade and not in the office to fix it yet =)

In PS 1.3.7 this admin link is now "target blank" but the tracking number link in order detail in customer account is still "target self" !

Edit
/themes/yourtheme/order detail.tpl

This line:
{$followup|escape:'htmlall':'UTF-8'}

Replace with:
{$followup|escape:'htmlall':'UTF-8'}

Hi All,

 

I am using EMS speed post as shipper. Their tracking url is http://services.ptcmysore.gov.in/speednettracking/. After configuring the carrier, I put @ symbol after the url. The tracking numbers do not go to correct box (article number).

 

Any suggestions?

 

Regards,
