New Window from Client Area Home

[web2008]

I use the example code for specialOfferPanel.php on

http://docs.whmcs.com/Working_With_Client_Area_Home_Page_Panels

 

but I can`t find out how I can open the URL in a new window ( target="_blank" ).

 

I asked WHMCS Support and I get the following answer:

 

At the current theme, this is not possible. We don't have a conditional to allow setting the target link when we render that page.

 

Since the template for clientareahome.tpl actually controls how the panels are described, this is something that could be done with a custom template + hook control. If you add a btn-target field to the extra array and then included something like:

{if $item->hasExtra('btn-target')}

 

target="{$item->getExtra('btn-target')}"

{/if}

 

In the right part of line 83 of the template, it may work.

 

Does anyone have an idea on how this can be resolved?

I see that they provide the solution already

 

open /templates/six/clientareahome.tpl file, line #83 is something like that:

<a href="{$item->getExtra('btn-link')}" class="btn btn-default bg-color-{$item->getExtra('color')} btn-xs">

 

you need to replace it with:

<a href="{$item->getExtra('btn-link')}" class="btn btn-default bg-color-{$item->getExtra('color')} btn-xs"{if $item->getExtra('btn-target')} target="{$item->getExtra('btn-target')}"{/if}>

 

now in "specialOfferPanel.php" file you need to specify the "btn-target", right after "btn-icon":

 

'btn-icon' => 'fa-arrow-right',
'btn-target' => "_blank"

Thank you, now it works perfectly!
