Module: Item Links

Neat!

No.

Adding a target parameter would require modifying am items link, which this module does not do. This module doesn't modify an item's url, it just changes what happens when someone trys to visit the URL.

So for example, if you have an album called Asdf, and it's url is http://www.example.com/gallery3/index.php/Asdf/ and then you edit it to be a link, it's URL stays the same. However, after making it a link, whenever someone tries to visit http://www.example.com/gallery3/index.php/Asdf/ (either by clicking on the album icon or by accessing the URL directly) they'll get redirected to the specified link instead of seeing the album's contents. Adding additional parameters like target would require functionality completely different from how this module currently works.

Nice module, thanks..

When creating a redirect album, is there a way to add the option that it uses the thumbnail of the redirect link? I mean when I create an album with a redirect using "Item Link", there is no thumbnail for the album, and I have to upload an image to that album to have it show a thumbnail..

It would be a nice idea that is automatically takes the thumbnail file of the redirect link..

Great module. I did screen shots of my youtube videos and placed a play button on top of them and use them for my thumbnails and redirect the thumbnails to the videos.

Hi All can we the URL open in a new window.

How to do it

Thanks in advance

Dave; thanks a lot for the new module.

I was able to install and enable the module. But when i try to edit the photo there was no place to enter the external url. I can see there is only one php file in the module exlinks_new_window_theme.php and no install Installer.php found.

I tried in a fresh installation but no luck

Thanks in advance.

Dear Dave; I have tried by enabling both modules but redirection happen as usual, in same window. Do I have to enable some other javascript or different module too?
I can see the new javascript part is loaded in body section.But I am not sure its called when I click the image. I tried both chrome and Firefox browsers.

Following i have attached the picture of enabled modules and loaded Javascript code. you can see both "external link new window" and "item links" modules have been enabled.

Thanks

A bit of a kluge but this might help... use this as the helpers/item_links_theme.php:

class item_links_theme_Core {
  static function head($theme) {
    // If the current page is an item, and if it's in the item_links table,
    //   then redirect to the specified web page.
    if ($theme->item()) {
      $item_url = ORM::factory("item_link")
        ->where("item_id", "=", $theme->item->id)
        ->find_all();
      if (count($item_url) > 0) {
	    // If the url has a target= in it then open a new window.
		if (strpos($item_url[0]->url,'target=') !== false) {
		  $str = substr($item_url[0]->url, 0, strrpos($item_url[0]->url, ' '));
		  return "<script type=\"text/javascript\">" .
		    "window.open('" . $str . "'); window.history.back();" . 
		    "</script>";
		}
		else {
        url::redirect($item_url[0]->url);
		}
      }
    }
    return;
  }
}

When editing the url just add a space and a target= at the end. like:
http://example.com target=blank

The "View fullsize" of an image to redirect, any idea on how to add such an option in the Item Links module? I thought I would be clever and get around the video file size limitation the old fashioned way. I created a still image and redirect it to the raw video file. Bypassing Flowplayer plays fine in the browsers that I need the video to play. However, I wish to not have the photo redirect from the album view, but from image view. Having the option to replace "full size" of the image with a redirect link would be nice. Apparently I am not clever enough to figure it out on my own, so if there are any ideas... ;)
