How can I edit the Menu with type URL (external content) in Service Portal?

[ssswetha13]

Hi All,

I have created new menu's with the type as URL and the link is an external content. The requirement is such that, whenever the user clicks on link it should open in a new tab.

Please let me know where and how can I edit the Menu.

I have already tried a few things: Editing the theme using CSS. and Configuring the Header widget.

Is there any specific reason you created a new widget instead of using URL in menu

i have created a target field with values _blank, _target etc..

I was able to open the reset link in new tab using this method.

I'd prefer to use URL, but wasn't able to use _blank with any success.   Can you show how you got it to work?

create a target field on menu form with the below values

After the target field is created, open header menu widget and in the Angular ng-temmplate related list find menuTemplate

Here is the updated code for menuTemplate

<a ng-if="item.items.length == 0 && !item.scriptedItems && item.type == 'url'" ng-href="{{item.href}}" target="{{item.u_target}}">{{ item.label }} </a>

<a ng-if="item.items.length == 0 && !item.scriptedItems && item.type != 'url'" ng-href="{{item.href}}">{{ item.label }}</a>

<a ng-if="item.items.length > 0" href="javascript:void(0)" class="dropdown-toggle" data-toggle="dropdown" role="button" aria-expanded="false">{{ item.label }} <span class="caret"></span></a>

<ul ng-if="item.items.length > 0" class="dropdown-menu" role="menu">

      <li ng-repeat="item in item.items" ng-include="'menuTemplate'" />

</ul>

<a ng-if="item.scriptedItems.count > 0" href="javascript:void(0)" data-toggle="dropdown" title="{{item.hint}}">

      <span ng-bind-html="item.label"></span>

      <span ng-if="!item.scriptedItems.omitBadge" class="label label-as-badge label-primary sp-navbar-badge-count">{{item.scriptedItems.count}}</span>

</a>

<sp-dropdown-tree ng-if="item.scriptedItems.count > 0" items="item.scriptedItems.items" />

Nice!   I had tried the code you posted earlier but didn't get the same results - it's working now however.

Hi Swetha,

Please use "_blank" in URL Target Field. it will work.
