WP125 Howto make ads target=”_blank”

There’s several things wrong here:

• The link (href) is to the image instead of to a page
• The image URL is missing (img src=””)
• The closing a tag is missing

oh – i didn’t explain enough, sorry, the form – entry field seems to only accept an entry as a simple url and messes up anything else (quotes, brackets, etc…)

Then you can only enter an URL here, not code. Either try a different plugin or enter your ad code yourself. WP125 does click tracking, and opening an ad page in a new window may interfere with that.

As of yet, the plugin won’t open the ads with a _blank target. I may include an easy option to do so in a later version, due to popular demand, but for now the easiest way to do it would be to open up wp125.php in a text editor and find the <a> lines in it and add target="_blank" attributes to them.

There are some lines that look something like this:

echo '<div class="wp125ad"></a><a href="'.$linkurl.'" rel="nofollow"><img src="'.$adguidearray[$curslot]
['image_url'].'" alt="'.$adguidearray[$curslot]['name'].'" /></a></div>';

Just find them and put your target=”_blank” attributes in them, right after the spots that say rel="nofollow".

Just an update, version 1.2 includes an easier way to enable _blank targetting. Just open wp125.php and uncomment the first “define(…” line. ??

THANKS for adding that in the 1.2 !!!
