FTR blogs

Any chance links in the blogs could be auto-popups?

Seconded. Good idea.

I'll look into it but I want to make sure we're talking about the same thing here.

I assume that by "auto-popups" you mean links with target="_blank" tags that cause the link to open a new browser. You probably already know that this can also be done by holding down the shift key when clicking on a link in IE.

Let's use dwarfman's http://blog.flopturnriver.com/dwarfman.php blog as an example to look at the different types of links.

I can change the right nav links pretty easily. These are the ones under the Blog Roll caption. Please confirm that you want these changed.

The word censor links are already auto-popups. Dwarfman's PokerStars links are an example of this.

I'm not yet sure how to control the links to the individual blog pages (January in Review, Long post.. ahem.. posted, by dwarfman in General). Please confirm that you want these changed.

Next there are the links that the blog authors put in place. In dwarfman's case we have this one,

Even if the blog author puts a target="_blank" tag in the link it appears to be ignored. Please confirm that you want these changed.

Thanks,

Yeah, I meant the links that the bloggers put in theirselves.

Ok, I changed the links.php file so that now the bloggers can control their links. If you put target="_blank" then it is no longer ignored, it opens a new window.

As an example, checkout my entries on the http://blog.flopturnriver.com/ page. The first forum link(be sure to visit our Poker Forum) opens a new window because I used target="_blank". The second forum link(You can read comments and responses to any of the blogs or blog entries in our Poker Blog Forum) does not open a new window becaused I didn't use target="_blank".

Check out the source code below and notice that only the first link has target="_blank".

be sure to visit our Poker Forum and check out their forum contributions.



You can read comments and responses to any of the blogs or blog entries in our  Poker Blog Forum.

Nice!

Also noticed the HH converter doesn't work properly in the blogs (see dwarfman's most recent blog), the suits are coming up as : diamond :

I use IE and for me the suit images weren't coming in at all. boastMachine calls these emoticons smiles. I changed things so that the images of the suits now come in.

Note to self, this was done as follows:

Code:

---

1. added images to blog/smiles/
2. modified smiles/smiles.pak file

Good work, Eric!

Thanks dwarfman, hopefully folks will be able to post more hand histories now :)

Nice!
