[opencms-dev] External link opens in a new page

[Achim Westermann]

Hi Paulo,

the external link (also called pointer) is an "incredible old" resource 
type with the single very basic feature of doing a server side redirect 
when the browser requests it. It even comes along with a special OpenCms 
loader implementation.

Good news is: Later on the XML contents were introduced in OpenCms 6. It 
is relatively easy to create a custom XML content. You could create one 
with the name "ExternalLink" (e.g.) and let it have the following basic 
fields:

URL, a plain text field of type OpenCmsString
TARGET, a SelectorWidget with the Options "samewindow|newwindow".

In your detail rendering JSP (you'll know what I mean if you read the 
content of my final link) you then are able to render different HTML 
upon the selected TARGET.

But first read more at:

HTH,

Achim
