Support for multilanguage sites, Internationalization (I18N)

How can I make the external links open in a new window (_blank)? I've searched through the boards and documentation but I can't find the way it's done...

You would need to use Custom rendering and add the target to the <a>, when the link is external.

Can someone please help me with this issue? Seems like this should be a pretty common request - why wouldn't you want an external link to open in a new window?

Call

PHP Code:

<?php get_i18n_navigation(get_page_slug(false), 0, 0, I18N_SHOW_NORMAL, 'navigation'); ?>

Component (named 'navigation') - note: this was modified from mvlcek's example on his site

PHP Code:

<?php global $SITEURL; ?>
<li class="<?php echo $item->classes; ?>">
  <a href="<?php echo htmlspecialchars($item->link); ?>" <?php if (strpos($SITEURL, htmlspecialchars($item->link)) !== 0) echo 'target="_blank"';?>>
    <?php echo htmlspecialchars($item->text); ?>
  </a>
  <?php if ($item->isOpen) { ?>
    <ul><?php $item->outputChildren(); ?></ul>
  <?php } ?>
</li> 


Key parts are:

PHP Code:

<?php global $SITEURL; ?>

(Gives site url for use in IF conditional)

PHP Code:

<?php if (strpos($SITEURL, htmlspecialchars($item->link)) !== 0) echo 'target="blank"'; ?>

(Says if the site url isn't found in the menu item's link, it's external, hence output 'target="_blank"').

Note: If get_page_slug(false) doesn't work, use return_page_slug() (I just used whichever one was in the latest GetSimple version, which at the time of speaking is 3.2.2).
