Service Portal - Icon link that opens a new window

shill · ‎09-08-2016

I am looking for a way to create a custom Icon Link widget to direct the user to a URL, but to open that URL in a new window instead of the portal page.

I've made a copy of the baseline Icon Link widget, but am unsure as to how I might change the behavior for the URL link.

Hi Steven,

You may have resolved this yourself by now but the OTB (Helsinki Patch 7, not sure about previous versions) "Icon Link" widget accepts an option called "target" where you can specify how you want the link to behave. Locate your widget instance in the widget instances list and then add an additional option for target. E.g.

{

"target": {

"value":"_blank"

},

"link_template": {

"value": "Circle Icon",

"displayValue": "Circle Icon"

}

Thanks,

Mark

This is specific to the Helsinki service portal and widgets, not UI actions.

I just encountered this same problem today. Were you able to find a solution?

I've been out for the last week so I haven't worked on it lately, but no, I have not yet.
