OUtgoing links in a new window when seeing a story

[winagain]

If I set "Use story title as link" to true in my installation, it will take me to that site when I click on it. But I want this to happen when the user is seeing the description of the story (in the second click of the user).

In Ximmy.com when you go to "news" and click on any story, it will take you to the description page inside ximmy.com, and then you click on the title of that story and it will open a new window with the link of the story.

How can I replicate this on my site?

guys I'm sure this is an option right inside your admin cp

go to configure your site, select story and from there select true to Use story title as link

P.S. nice site totalpad! Keep it up :)

P.S.S - I think I misunderstood you guys... sorry if I did. If you want the story page to open in new link this I don't know how to do.

Thanks bbrian. BTW, we still don't have the solution... May be Chuckroast will help us out.

Try this.. Open link_summary.tpl and find

{if $pagename eq "story"}
                    <a href="{$url}">{$title_short}</a>
                {else} 
                  <a href="{$story_url}">{$title_short}</a>
                {/if}

Try changing it to

{if $pagename eq "story"}
                    <a href="{$url}">{$title_short} target="_blank"</a>
                {else} 
                  <a href="{$story_url}">{$title_short}</a>
                {/if}

Hope that helps

Thanks Chuckroast, but it didn't work. BTW, this is my current code:

<div class="toptitle" id="ls_thetitle-{$link_shakebox_index}">
{if $use_title_as_link eq true}
{if $url_short neq "http://" && $url_short neq "://" && $url_short neq "1"}
<a href="{$url}" {if $open_in_new_window eq true} target="_blank"{/if}>{$title_short}</a>
{else}
<a href="{$story_url}">{$title_short}</a>
{/if}
{else}
{if $pagename eq "story"}
{if $url_short neq "http://" && $url_short neq "://" && $url_short neq "1"}
<a href="{$url}">{$title_short}</a>
{else}
<span class="toptitle-nolink">{$title_short}</span>
{/if}
{else}
<a href="{$story_url}">{$title_short}</a>
{/if}
{/if}
