TYPO3: external page url, open external links in a new window by default

I am looking for a solution to open external menu links in a new default window. (no _blank entry in the target field) But without changing the url, the url should be bigger, like ..... /test.html not ... www.external-url.co .....

I've already tried

in typoscript

config.extTarget = _blank

in constants

styles.content.links.extTarget = _blank

But without success. Thank you for your help.

Just change the site properties of your external link: go to the Behavior tab and paste _blank in the Link field . Your xref should now open in a new window / tab.

If you need to open external URLs in the menu in a new window, please check and try the below text:



lib.mainmenu = HMENU
lib.mainmenu {
  special = directory
  special.value = 1
  1=TMENU
  1.wrap=<ul>|</ul>
  1.NO {
    # do not create a link here else there are double <a> tags
    doNotLinkIt = 1
    wrapItemAndSub=<li>|</li>
    stdWrap.cObject = CASE
    stdWrap.cObject {
      key.field = doktype
      default = TEXT
      default {
        field = title
        typolink.parameter.field = uid
        stdWrap.htmlSpecialChars = 1
      }

      # 3 = external url
      3 = TEXT
      3 {
        field = title
        typolink.parameter.field = url
        typolink.extTarget = _blank
      }

    }
  }
}

The Sankar version can be simplified and if the given "target" item will take the value of the field.

lib.mainmenu = HMENU
lib.mainmenu{
    entryLevel = 0
    1 = TMENU
    1{
        expAll = 1
        wrap = <ul>|</ul>
        NO = 1 
        NO.wrapItemAndSub = <li>|</li>
        NO.ATagParams{
            override = target="_blank"
            override.if{
                isFalse.field = target
                equals = 3
                value.field = doktype
            }
        }
        ACT < .NO
        ACT.ATagParams.noTrimWrap = |class="active" ||
    }
}

Just use jQuery and don't worry about CMS

$("a[href^='http:']:not([href*='" + window.location.host + "'])").attr("target", "_blank");

It worked for me this way:

I went to the Template module, then to the site home page (home page)

Then I selected the "custom object browser" and did a search for "extTarget" in "costants" and clicked on the result and there it was possible to change the target.

I saved it and it worked out well!
