"[read more..]" in popup-window?

[god]

Like the title says: I want the article after clicking the "read more.."-link to open in a new pop-up window.

How can this be done?

Thanks!

[god]

I was told to post here instead of the forums on subdreamer.com - I really need a solution for this... :(

[abcohen]

I'll start looking into this...

[god]

Thank you!

The simplest way to do this would to just add a "target=_blank" to the read more link in news.php.

On line 406:
* *echo ' <a href="' . RewriteLink('index.php?categoryid=' . $categoryid . '&p2_articleid=' . $article['articleid']) . '">' . $p2_language['read_more'] . '</a>';

Change it to:
* *echo ' <a href="' . RewriteLink('index.php?categoryid=' . $categoryid . '&p2_articleid=' . $article['articleid']) . '" target=\"_blank\">' . $p2_language['read_more'] . '</a>';

Or did you just want the article to show up?

[abcohen]

see I would have added a javascript popup code instead of the the blank window...


echo '<a href="#" onclick="javascript:window.open(' . RewriteLink('index.php?categoryid=' . $categoryid . '&p2_articleid=' . $article['articleid']) . '\', \'_blank\', \' width=450,height=600,toolbar=0,menubar=0,resizable =0,location=0,status=0,scrollbars=0,directories=0\ '); return false;">' . $p2_language['read_more'] . '</a>';

now...now... you did actually look into the code to find the line to edit (its more then I can say I did for this case sooo far) :P
so actually you're doing a better job then I did -- I just gave one more advanced step [but I'm not sure if I have forward slashed those lines correctly -- so it might need a little play]

Am I the only one that wants to be sure that 100% of the visitors to my sites can view the content?

I&#39;m talking about using javascript, without a <noscript> option, to open a window for a link to site critical information. According to TheCounter.com http://www.thecounter.com/stats/2005/July/javas.php

JavaScript Stats
Fri Jul 1 00:03:01 2005 - Sun Jul 31 23:58:40 2005** 31.0 Days

Javascript 1.2+: 65515575 (89%)
Javascript <1.2: 223054 (0%)
Javascript false: 7686040 (10%)
And, 10% actually higher than I would have guessed as an overall number in today&#39;s browser world. In reality the %age in the target audience for one of my sites is closer to 25%.

See, I was well aware of those statistics and after careful consideration I decided to go with the simple approach of straight HTML in order to ensure the broadest availablity. :rolleyes:

LOL

LOL is right :blink:

either one works...
Hug_It, would you create a new post in the tutorial section with how to edit it :D [you can even include the javascript code -- even if 10% cant use it]

[god]

Thanks to both of you&#33;

I&#39;ve choosen the java-method to open a new popup-window - but I want to have just the article in the new window, not the hole page showing the specific artikle....

this could be done is you have the print option turned on...

[abcohen]

So you want to open the read more in a popup window...

First we&#39;ll have to create a new file in the p2_news folder in the plugins directory...
lets call the file poparticle.php

inside that file you&#39;ll place this code....

?&#62;






then you&#39;ll need to link to that new display code...

in news.php.

On line 406:
* *echo &#39; &#60;a href=&#34;&#39; . RewriteLink&#40;&#39;index.php?categoryid=&#39; . &#036;categoryid . &#39;&p2_articleid=&#39; . &#036;article&#91;&#39;articleid&#39;&#93;&#41; . &#39;&#34;&#62;&#39; . &#036;p2_language&#91;&#39;read_more&#39;&#93; . &#39;&#60;/a&#62;&#39;;

Change it to:

echo &#34; &#60;a href=&#092;&#34;#&#092;&#34; onclick=&#092;&#34;window.open&#40;&#39;&#34; . &#036;sdurl . &#34;plugins/p2_news/poparticle.php?p2_articleid=&#34; . &#036;article&#91;&#39;articleid&#39;&#93; . &#34;&#39;, &#39;_blank&#39;, &#39; width=450,height=600,toolbar=0,menubar=0,resizable =0,location=0,status=0,scrollbars=0,directories=0 &#39;&#41;;return false&#092;&#34;&#62;&#34; . &#036;p2_language&#91;&#39;read_more&#39;&#93; . &#34;&#60;/a&#62;&#34;;



There ya go&#33; this tutorial will allow a user to create the read more link to create a pop window with just the article itself.

***NOTE: this is only ment for an original news plugin (Not a cloned one)&#33;&#33; It will work cloned, when this code is placed before a clone is made.

[god]

Wow, this would be an amazing soloution&#33;

BUT: It just gives me a "parse error" (Parse error: parse error in /html/plugins/p2_news/news.php on line 406)

Thanks a lot again&#33;
