OpenCart Community

I am setting up my store and want to have customers be able to click on an image or link and have that open in a separate tab or page. Is there a way to do that in Opencart?

This is easy to do, but where are the images going to be at?

All you need to do is set the link of the image which can be done in the html

I have an image I will put in the slideshow at the top of my page then link it to the new destination but how do I have it open in a new page so that they are both viewable by the person looking. I'm not super with HTML so that is why I am asking. Also having a few issues with setting up a multi store and the images not showing up on the other stores.

As this is for the slideshow, I am assuming you will be using the admin - Design - Banners section to add your images and links

The only way to make a link open in a new window using that method would be to add the link as follows:

a simple way is putting your link with target e.g
<a href="link here" target="_blank">

You cannot put a href in the design banners section link field, hence my post above using javascript

What OC version are you using ?

2.0.3.1

@uksitebuilder... oh actually i skipped to see it is related to design banner module....

2.0.3.1

Here you go try this...

If you are going to make a mod for something that was answered a few posts back, you could at least have added a switch in admin to toggle new window or not. Now all slideshow links will open in new tabs

Now all slideshow links will open in new tabs

My bad, I didn't realise the OP only wanted one image to open in new tab

Code: Select all

javascript:void(window.open('http://www.opencart.com','window_name'));

where I put this code or add every link with this code

I need out link open at my web fram
