open links in parent or new window - Plz help.

erryl

Hi. I know I'm asking for a lot of help. Sorry.
I am having problems getting the links on the panel to open. They are opening like this:

http://myvanillasite/vanilla.php/Http://thesiteiamtryingtolinkto.com

I don't care if they open in a new window (I know that annoys some people) or in the parent window. I just want themto open. You all have helped me so much already!! Thanks in advance and for the previous help too!!

Hey erryl, don't apologize for asking for help, that's what we are here for!
What's creating those links?
Seems like a setting is not quite right.
Can you point us to an example, it's a bit difficult flying blind?

$Header1 = $Context->GetDefinition("Our Links"); $Panel->AddList($Header1, 210); $Panel->AddListItem($Header1, $Context->GetDefinition("urlname"), GetUrl($Configuration, "http://url.com", "", "", "", "", ""), "", "", 10); $Panel->AddListItem($Header1, $Context->GetDefinition("urlname"), GetUrl($Configuration, "http://url.com", "", "", "", "", ""), "", "", 20); $Panel->AddListItem($Header1, $Context->GetDefinition("urlname"), GetUrl($Configuration, "http://url.com", "", "", "", "", ""), "", "", 30); $Panel->AddListItem($Header1, $Context->GetDefinition("urlname"), GetUrl($Configuration, "http://url.com", "", "", "", "", ""), "", "", 40); $Panel->AddListItem($Header1, $Context->GetDefinition("urlname"), GetUrl($Configuration, "http://url.com", "", "", "", "", ""), "", "", 50); }
Is there somthing I can add to this to make them open in a new or parent? Thanks!

It's on the Improved Side Panel add-on.

I don't know about the "Improved Side Panel add-on" but you could do that and more on the fly with Nuggets

After enabling the extension, simply create a new nugget, place it where you want it to be displayed and then in the "Nugget HTML" box just put in your link(s):

<li><a href="http://url.com" target="_blank">Your external link</a></li>

Thanks! I'll give that a try too.
