Open "After Login Page Link" Shortcode to CURRENT Tab?

[Jeff Norman]

Hi,

The following shortcode opens to another tab:

[swpm_show_after_login_page_link link_anchor="Return To Dashboard >"]

How do I make it open in the current tab?

Thanks

Hi, where does that shortcode come from?

Thank you

The shortcode comes from the simple membership plugin documentation. Its for creating a link back to the logged in member’s initial page once they log in.

For some reason the shortcode is creating an html href link that defaults to a “target=_blank” attribute setting. I had to use JS to force all my links to open in the current tab to get it to work:

<script>
var a = document.getElementsByTagName("a");
for (i=0;i<a.length;i++) {
 
if (a[i].target="_blank") {
a[i].target="_self"
}

}
</script>

It be helpful if it defaulted to a “_self” value on the “target” attribute making it open in the current tab by default, as most links do. It would be even more helpful if a user could add a target attribute to the shortcode itself and choose how the link works best for their particular site.

Thank you for providing more information and sharing your code. I have submitted a message to the developers to investigate further your request.

Kind regards

I have updated the addon to add an extra parameter in that shortcode so this can be customized.

Use the “link_target” parameter in the shortcode. Below is an example shortcode usage:

[swpm_show_after_login_page_link link_anchor="Your Dashboard" link_target="_self"]

Awesome. Thanks!
