hi
i know how to add a new link in the menu for example help page or contact us but it opens in a blank page
is it possible to be opened in the same frame like the tables list ?

How did you add the new link in the menu? If you want to open in the same tab, do not use target attribute or window.open(), just enter the URL in the menu editor.

by Menu Editorclick add item then you can add the name and the link but it will open in other page
i want to be at the same frame next to menu items and under the header

Hi,
That’s strange !I added an item in Menu Editor, i put the link, but when i click on the link it open in the same page. And i want it to be opened in a new tab.
But you’re saying for you it’s a new tab ?
LoLI have this in ewmenu.php at my new item line : MenuRelativePath . “msbox/index.html” do i have to add a “_blank” somewhere ? Thanks.

you can make it from server events → MenuItem_Adding

function MenuItem_Adding(&$Item) {
    //var_dump($Item);
    // Return FALSE if menu item not allowed
    if ($Item->Text == "pagename") // contact us for example
    $Item->Target = "_blank";
    return TRUE;
}

“_blank” or “_new” will open it in new page"_self" will open it in the same page

but i am looking for openning the link inside the frame like the tabels pages

<<<<<Header>>>>
------------------------------
link1 |
link2 |  i want it here
link3 |
link4 |
help  |
------------------------------
<<<<footer>>>>>

Oh i see, i’m not enough good to help you ! (nquality draw btw :D)
I guess if its not tables it’s going to be hard to open your page here, its html ?in your ewmenu.php file, can you copy/paste how the path is wrote please for one of your item who link to a new tab ?
For me it’s like that (no new tab) :
$sideMenu->addMenuItem(6, “mci_Boiteà outils”, $MenuLanguage->MenuPhrase(“6”, “MenuText”), $MenuRelativePath . “msbox/index.html”, -1, “”, TRUE, FALSE, TRUE, “”, “”, FALSE);

look i have two extra pages (contact us and charts)
i added them from menu editor
to change the opening target just open ewshared10.php my (phpmaker v10) by text editor i am using Notepad++
search for ( MenuItem Adding event ) and :

function MenuItem_Adding(&$Item) {

	//var_dump($Item);
	// Return FALSE if menu item not allowed

	if ($Item->Text == "contact us" || $Item->Text == "charts2") // change the names to your links names
	$Item->Target = "_blank";
	return TRUE;
}

do not change anything else or save another copy of your project.
save the file then refresh your web the links will open in a new blank pages.
