I would like all links created by users in the FckEditor

to default to target="_blank" which is the company policy for all external links. 


I cannot seem to figure out how this is done.


============    on another note : ================

I did figure out how to color the links in fckeditor.

add the !important;   element to the style in your  default.css

cheers. 

A

{

color: #004282 !important;

text-decoration: none !important;

}

A:visited

{

color: purple !important;

text-decoration: none !important;

}

A:hover

{

color: #ee5500 !important;

text-decoration: underline !important;

}

A:active

{

color: purple !important;

text-decoration: none !important;

}

I would have a look at the docs supplied by the original FCKeditor developers:
http://docs.fckeditor.net/

Thanks,

thanks Lee,

I did find an answer there of how to set external links in the fck editor to default to target="_blank         Here is the DotnetNuke version. 

its rather easy once you find the location.  you add a

value="_blank"  and a    selected="selected"

and delete a  selected="selected"

Go to:
Mywebsite\Providers\HtmlEditorProviders\Fck\FCKeditor\editor\dialog\fck_link.html


1. search for    select id="cmbTarget"

cut selected="selected"  from

<option value="" fckLang="DlgGenNotSet"  >

and paste it into

<option value="_blank" selected="selected" fckLang="DlgLnkTargetBlank">

2. search for input id="txtTargetFrame"

and add   value="_blank"

to the tag.

Users can still change it but if they just create a link without selecting the target it will open in a new window.

cheers 

 

Nice one, thanks for the info,
