How do I open a link (into) a new window

[vandiike]

Hi guys...

As the subject says, during my ripping and tweaking I think I took away the syntax for the (printable catalog) to open in a new window.

In boxes/search.php I have:

$boxContent .= '<a href="' . tep_href_link(FILENAME_CATALOG_PRODUCTS_WITH_IMAGE S, '', 'NONSSL') . '">' . BOX_CATALOG_PRODUCTS_WITH_IMAGES . '</a><br>';

How can I make it open in a new window.

Thanks for your guruing.....and by the way...with regards to another topic, I think in 10 years from now, OScommerce might be viewed as a masterpice or atleast the start of one!

In quick search box:

Printable catalog

The idea of Printable catalog is for customers to print a catalog with out your site header, footer, left and right columns, which does not happen with the default setup of 1.5 max.

A quick and easy fix is to edit the file:

catalog/catalog_products_with_images.php and change the line

require(DIR_WS_TEMPLATES . TEMPLATENAME_MAIN_PAGE);

to

require(DIR_WS_TEMPLATES . TEMPLATENAME_POPUP);

Printable catalog will now open with out your site header, footer, left and right columns.

SWILLIAMS, vandiike, Yes, printable catalog added to the BTS system in max so it would be easy to add a new template of your making. It is up to you to create a new template for the printable catalog, we cannot do everything for you...

You could create a new template called template_page.tpl.php and define it as TEMPLATENAME_PRINTABLE. Then you could make it look like anything you want. That is the whole purpose of the BTS template system, easy page additions. Using this feature, you could make a really cool printable catalog, with great page layout, design etc, and have it look totally different from your website.

Williams, thanks for tip. it worked good.
In order to have the new window effect I also edited

include/boxes/search.php <- where my link appears in the page

$boxContent .= '<a href="' . tep_href_link(FILENAME_CATALOG_PRODUCTS_WITH_IMAGE S, '', 'NONSSL') . '" target="_blank">' . BOX_CATALOG_PRODUCTS_WITH_IMAGES . '</a><br>';

now there is a case for designing the template_productcat.php

Thanks for your time..
