Simple: open <a href="<php... in new window

[eevan79]

Hi,

I have simple problem. I want to open php code in new window.

Here is my code:

<li><?php comment_author_link() ?> </li>

How to open this comment_author_link in new window? 

 

Thanks.

Not possible to do unless you modify the wordpress core files, and I'd strongly recommend not doing that

Well I didnt think of it til just now but you can do this with a plugin. Create a new file called comment-author-edit.php in the wp-content/plugins/ folder, and put the following in it

<?php

/*
Plugin Name: Edit Comment Author
Version: 0.1
Description: Automatically adds target="_blank" to comment author links
Author: Jay Gilford
Author URI: http://www.jaygilford.com/
Plugin URI: http://www.jaygilford.com/
*/

/* Version Check */
global $wp_version;

$exit_message = 'This plugin requires Wordpress 2.5 or newer. <a href="http://codex.wordpress.org/Upgrading_WordPress">Please Update!</a>';

if(version_compare($wp_version, '2.5', '<')) {
exit($exit_message);
}

/* FILTERS */
add_filter('get_comment_author_link', 'comment_author_link_edit');

function comment_author_link_edit($content) {
    $content = str_replace('<a ', '<a target="_blank"', $content);
    return $content;
}

Save it, then look for Edit Comment Author in your plugin menu in the dashboard, and enable it
