How to make all external links be open in a View Port when clicked in documents

Hi friends,

I know how to use viewport widget in order to integrate external content in my pages (the viewport widget is generating the IFRAME code for me). Nice.

My problem is that I want all the external links referring to a specified domain (let’s say www.externaldomain.com), get their content display in a viewport widget.

To be more specific, I need my documents to have all their external links open in the same window (_target=self) but into a viewport.

Kind a like, on DocumentRenderEvent (or some like) having all the

<a href="www.externaldomain.com/page1.html">

transformed into something like :

<a href="putinframe.php?www.externaldomain.com/page1.html">

but in that case I need the putinframe.php being templated like any other page.

So in fact, it seems that I have two options here :

1.Find a way to make the external domain links being opened in a dedicated viewport widget, when links are cliked.

2.having a script, like putinframe.php, that will generate a page that use current template (for easy integration/appearence reason) and put "www.externaldomain.com/page1.html" in a <IFRAME> block. My pb in this case is to have a sample of minimum php with all required includes in order to get all design and modx capabilities into this generated page.

Thank you for any help friends.
Best regards.

Can you share what you did to make this work?

Hi Susan,

i will. As soon as I finished and released a module I’m working on.
Also, I’m trying to make a good documentation about the way I implemented the external links in viewport stuff.
