link to an asset - opening in a new window?

[Sarah Gargett <sa...@ymogen.net>]

Hi,

Can anyone tell me how to insert (or create a link to) an asset so that
it opens in a new window?

I have uploaded a PDF file using the asset upload function, and I am
able to then insert the asset into my page using the asset (scroll)
button in BXE, and save the page.  However when I click on the link that
is created the PDF is opened in the existing window, and I would like it
to open in a new window.

Any suggestions?

Many thanks,
-Sarah

Hi Sarah,
If you are not expecting to be xhtml strict compliant you could edit 
pubs/default/xslt/xhtml2xhtml.xsl.

Change this block:

  <xsl:template match="lenya:asset">
    <xsl:variable name="extent">
      <xsl:value-of select="@size"/>
    </xsl:variable>
    <xsl:variable name="suffix">
      <xsl:call-template name="substring-after-last">
        <xsl:with-param name="input" select="@src"/>
        <xsl:with-param name="substr">.</xsl:with-param>
      </xsl:call-template>
    </xsl:variable>
    <div class="asset">
        <xsl:text>&#160;</xsl:text>
        <a href="{$nodeid}/{@src}">
          <xsl:value-of select="text()"/>
        </a>
        (<xsl:value-of select="number($extent)"/>KB)
    </div>
  </xsl:template>


To this:

  <xsl:template match="lenya:asset">
    <xsl:variable name="extent">
      <xsl:value-of select="@size"/>
    </xsl:variable>
    <xsl:variable name="suffix">
      <xsl:call-template name="substring-after-last">
        <xsl:with-param name="input" select="@src"/>
        <xsl:with-param name="substr">.</xsl:with-param>
      </xsl:call-template>
    </xsl:variable>
    <div class="asset">
        <xsl:text>&#160;</xsl:text>
        <a href="{$nodeid}/{@src}" target="_blank">
          <xsl:value-of select="text()"/>
        </a>
        (<xsl:value-of select="number($extent)"/>KB)
    </div>
  </xsl:template>


Hope this helps,
--Doug
