phpBB open link in new tab

I have a phpBB board 3 with prosilver style.

When a user clicks on a link in a post the browser will open it in the same tab. Is it possible that I can change it, so that the browser opens the links in a new tab or window?

Solution

  • To complete Steve's answer, if you only want alter links in a post, you only have to edit the bbcode.html file.

    1. Open phpBB/styles/prosilver/template/bbcode.html file,

    2. Search (line 26 on last version) :

      <!-- BEGIN url --><a href="{URL}" class="postlink">{DESCRIPTION}</a><!-- END url -->

    3. Replace it with :

      <!-- BEGIN url --><a href="{URL}" target="_blank" class="postlink">{DESCRIPTION}</a><!-- END url -->

    I hope to be helpful,
