Open event links in new window/tab

[Hassan]

Hi there,

I’ve been trying to solve this by myself but nothing worked out for me 🙁

First I am trying to set that when clicked on all the events on the calendar open in a new window/tab (https://rotterdampages.com/events/).

I’ve tried every suggested solution for this t but without succes. I’ve tried all these:

https://theeventscalendar.com/support/forums/topic/event-details-page-open-website-in-new-window/
https://theeventscalendar.com/support/forums/topic/open-event-url-link-in-new-tab-or-window/
https://theeventscalendar.com/support/forums/topic/open-website-in-new-window/
https://theeventscalendar.com/support/forums/topic/organizer-and-venue-links-open-in-new-tab/
https://gist.github.com/GeoffEW/4406403775fe4efab39b9d5baae757ae

and many more.

However, when i tried this (https://theeventscalendar.com/support/forums/topic/open-organizer-and-venue-links-in-new-window/) it worked but for all links even from other pages both internal as external and that’s not the way I want it to go.

This (https://theeventscalendar.com/support/forums/topic/changing-calendar-links-to-open-new-tab/) worded well for the google ical links but not for the events.

I tried the Open external links in a new window plugin and that works for https://rotterdampages.com/event/ or https://rotterdampages.com/events/ but does not work when you click next or previous month on the calendar because the link becomes https://rotterdampages.com/events/2017-12/.

How can we fix this?

Thank you and greetings,

Hassan

Hey Hassan,

Thank you for reaching out to us!

As I can see from here you are using the month view calendar by default. In this case, the simplest way to achieve what you want is with a template override. Please copy the single-event.php file from the-events-calendar/src/views/month and paste it to [your-theme]/tribe-events/month/single-event.php

Now, please open the file you just copied to your theme and replace line 196 with:

" class="url"><?php echo $title ?>

In this case we are just replacing

Link

with

Link.

Does it help you to solve the problem? If you have any other questions at all please feel free to let me know and I’d be happy to help as best I can!

Cheers,

Patricia

Hi Patricia!

it finally worked!

The lines you suggested did not work entirely because line 196 in single-events.php had different coding, so I adjusted it a bit and now it’s working.

This is what I had in single-event.php file from the-events-calendar/src/views/month:

<h3 class="tribe-events-month-event-title"><a href="<?php echo esc_url( $link ) ?>" class="url"><?php echo $title ?></a></h3>

And I changed it into this:

<h3 class="tribe-events-month-event-title"><a href="<?php echo esc_url( $link ) ?>" target="_blank"< class="url"><?php echo $title ?></a></h3>

And now it finally works! Superthanks!

Greetings,

Hassan
