    I am using Revo version 2.2.6 and I have created a weblink with a link attribute of target="_blank". I have also this for my row chunk:
    <li [[+wf.classes]]><a href="[[+wf.link]]" title="[[+wf.title]]" [[+wf.attributes]]><span>[[+wf.linktext]]</span></a>[[+wf.wrapper]]</li>

    But it only opens in the same window instead of a new browser. How can I fix this?

    Thanks

    • What does the source of the page with the link look like? Is the target attribute being inserted into the link at all?

        No. The target attribute is not being inserted at all. Here is the source from the page. <a class="button" href="current-packages/book-travel.html">

        Thanks for your assistance.

        • Hm. I have a very basic default menu on my localhost test installation, so I just created a new resource with
          target="new"

          in the Link Attributes field. Works perfectly with no modifications at all to the default tpls. The default rowTpl looks like this:
          <li[[+wf.id]][[+wf.classes]]><a href="[[+wf.link]]" title="[[+wf.title]]" [[+wf.attributes]]>[[+wf.linktext]]</a>[[+wf.wrapper]]</li>

          • Hm again. Tried it with your tpl, and with a weblink. Worked as expected. Are you sure the link in question is using rowTpl, and not another tpl like innerRowTpl?

              Since where I am putting this is not a menu. It is not using wayfinder template. It is attached to a button on the home page - fusiontravelgroup.com. I have a separate template for it.

              <li id="[[+tv.galleryBanTV]]">
              <div> <span class="box"><span>[[+tv.priceTV]]</span></span> <span class="text">[[+longtitle]]</span> <a href="[[~[[+id]]]]" [[+attributes]] class="button">details</a> </div>
              </li>

              Is it possible to attach the link attribute to the above link?

              Thanks

              • Try [[+link_attributes]] - that is the actual database field name. What add-on are you using to generate the list for the gallery? It may or may not provide a placeholder for the link_attributes field.

                  That worked!

                  Thank you so much.

                  I am not using a add-on for it. Each image is attached to a page and I have code that looks at whether it is the homepage to display this rotating gallery type. I did it this way because of the funky way the template was coded that my client chose.

                  I really appreciate your assistance.
