Open Link Field in New Tab

Hi @alonagomez

You’d need to modify the HTML Markup.
Then include ‘target=”_blank”‘ as part of the link field div.

Please provide detail how to insert that code below.

<div class="acf-view acf-view--id--15639 acf-view--object-id--{object-id}">

	<!--$facebook_url$-->
	<div class="acf-view__row acf-view__facebook_url">
		<div class="acf-view__field">$facebook_url$</div>
	</div>
	<!--$facebook_url$-->
</div>

Hi @alonagomez

My previous comment was incorrect, you won’t need to modify the HTML. Sorry about that.

If you’re using a ACF Link field type, then you’d need to tick the ‘Open link in new tab’ in the dialogue when filling the field.

I know this checkbox to open in new tab while filling the fields. Unfortunately, my users don’t know it and I am using a Form. I hope you can provide a snippet to open in new tab without ticking to be Fool-Proof.

Hi @alonagomez

Aah I understand, to always have the field open in new tab you can paste the following in your functions.php file.
Replacing ‘INSERT_FIELD_NAME’ with your field name.

add_filter('acf_views/view/field_markup/name=INSERT_FIELD_NAME', function ($fieldHTML, $fieldMeta, $fieldValue, $viewId) {
    return str_replace('href', 'target="_blank" href', $fieldHTML);
}, 10, 4);

Thanks it worked.
