    Is it possible to import the website link target (New Window) using the CSV import? I would like the website links for the people in my directory to open in their own window and not redirect them off of my site. Thanks!

    Sorry, no there is not a way to set this option during a CSV import but I believe that is the default which will be set when doing an import.

    Hope that helps, let me know.

    Hi Steven,

    That’s not what we are seeing – we did an import and the links are not opening in a new window. Is there a spot in one of the templates where I can override the default behavior?

    Also, is there any way to import the link to someone’s logo or image? We are setting up a new directory with ~500 people in it, so if there is any way I can add the image links without having to go into each record, that would be helpful.

    re: That’s not what we are seeing – we did an import and the links are not opening in a new window.

    Oh, sorry! When I looked at the code before answering the question I looked at the code for the default for the do/nofollow attribute instead of the target attribute. Yes, it will default to the same window.

    re: Is there a spot in one of the templates where I can override the default behavior?

    There is no way to easily override this default. That said if you can make a very minor change the PHP code for Connections you can change the default. Go to line 2765 in the class.entry-data.php file found here ../wp-content/plugins/connections/includes/entry/. Change same at the end to new. after you make this change the links should default to a new window. Note, you’ll lose this change when you update Connections.

    re: is there any way to import the link to someone’s logo or image?

    Again, unfortunately there is no easy way to do this but there might be a solution. If you are only importing one link per entry and you are always linking just the logo or just the image you can change line 2724 or line 2725 to TRUE. Doing that, when importing the one link will always be assigned to either the image or logo.

    Hope that helps! Let me know.
