link open in blank page

This maybe answered somewhere else in the forum but the search function is down at the mo....

How do I get the link class to open the url in a blank window? At the moment you can write the url in but can't seem to control where/how it opens.

OK.. the easiest solution I found was to add another field (ie. target) to the link class with _blank as default (or _self if you want people to remain in the site by default).
Create a new line.tpl override for the link class (line_link.tpl) and name it (I named mine target.tpl)
Amend the default template... I just added target="{$node.data_map.target.content}" into it:

    {section show=$node.data_map.location.has_content}
        <div class="attribute-link">
            <p><a href="{$node.data_map.location.content}" target="{$node.data_map.target.content}">{section show=$node.data_map.location.data_text|count|gt( 0 )}{$node.data_map.location.data_text|wash}{section-else}{$node.data_map.location.content|wash}{/section}</a></p>
        </div>
    {/section}

and it works well. :)

It's not easy being easy.
