Set link default target to _blank

Hi,

Does anyone know of a way to set links to be added with the target attribute set to _blank by default?

Many thanks.

Mark

I would really like this too. It was in the fckeditor but not this one, which is a shame.
I'd also like LinkBrowser and LinkUpload back too.

Re: Set link default target to _blank

I was referring to version 2.6.4 and I found the answer:

FCKConfig.DefaultLinkTarget = '_self' ;

See http://docs.fckeditor.net/FCKeditor_2.x/Developers_Guide/Configuration/Configuration_Options/DefaultLinkTarget

Yep - would be nice to have it in the CKEditor too.

Re: Set link default target to _blank

This is only for the Link dialog box. Is there a way to do it for ALL links?

Re: Set link default target to _blank

To set the default target to '_blank', I have touched the following script a little. I'm using CKE.

/ckeditor/plugins/link/dialogs/link.js

Changes

'notSet'

'_blank'

If this approach does not work for any reason, please let me know.

Thanks, but that's for CKEditor. We still use FCKEditor.

Re: Set link default target to _blank

For CKEditor version 3.6.3:

Find: label:D.target,'default':'notSet'
Replace by: label:D.target,'default':'_blank'

Find: label:E.targetFrameName,'default':''
Replace by: label:E.targetFrameName,'default':'_blank'

Re: Set link default target to _blank

We did finally move to CKEditor, but instead of worrying about how they were submitted, we just use HTMLPurifier to convert them all to blank on display.
