UBB.threads PHP Forum Software Community Forums UBB.classic [Archived] UBB.classic Bugs UBB 6.2.0: target="_blank" missing in public_display_profile.pl [FIXED]

In public_display_profile.pl there ist the target="_blank" missing for the users homepage link (which is bad when your board is in a frame).

Line 244:
Change from
<a href="$user_profile[3]">$user_profile[3]</a>

To
<a href="$user_profile[3]" target="_blank">$user_profile[3]</a>

Profile windows are always opened new, meaning the new window would be replaced with the homepage.

UBB should never be run in a frame to boot...

No, it's not the profile window, it'S just the users homepage link there. This link does not open in a new window (as it does when you click on the hompage link at a users post. here a new window opens correctly.

we are running ubb inside a frame now for years there is really now problem with that <img src="https://www.ubbcentral.com/boards/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" /> we display our global navigation with a frame on the left.

The homepage link in a topic uses target="_new".

What's the URL to your board, please...

Yes _new or _blank works both.

You will find the board here:

http://www.literaturcafe.de/forum

Is that based on the German translation, or did you translate it yourself? (It might matter...)

I translated it myself, but that has nothing to do with the translation. The target is also missing in the english version :-)

Can you provide a URL to a page that has the broken homepage link?

Hello Charles,

the problem does not occure on my board anymore, because I fixed it (see my first post at the top for details)

Greetings

Er, okay... what line of what template did you modify?

gero, I think what Charles was trying to say is that when you click on the profile icon it opens a new window, the only places that it doesn't are in Rate Member, Moderators and PNTF, and the user usually clicks on links only from the profile icon, which opens a new window, so there is no need to open 2 new windows...

Tip: I would alway use target="_blank" to open a link inside a new window.

The target "_new" is no reserved name in HTML which means it's a "normal" window name.

The problem that might occure with that (which might confuse a user): if the user does not close the window which was opened with "_new" and sends it into the background instead all further links he clicks on with that target will change the content of the window in the background but the user might not see it. For him nothing happens. _blank makes sure that always a new window is opened.

Greeting
Gero

@ LK:
I would alway open a new window for external links (second effect: the user does not leave my site totally <img src="https://www.ubbcentral.com/boards/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> )

Duh, sorry. Monday.. <img src="https://www.ubbcentral.com/boards/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

Out of all the windows opening or linking to, I would have preferred that the Print Page feature would have opened in a new window. Where can I change this?
