Function Reference/popuplinks

Description

Adds target='_blank' and rel='external' to all HTML Anchor tags to open links in new windows.

Comment text in popup windows should be filtered through this. Right now it's a moderately dumb function, ideally it would detect whether a target or rel attribute was already there and adjust its actions accordingly.

Usage

<?php popuplinks( $text ) ?>

Parameters

$text

(string) (required) Content to replace links to open in a new window.

Default: None

Return Values

(string): Content that has filtered links.

Examples

Default usage

<?php
echo popuplinks('Please visit <a href="http://www.wordpress.com">WordPress.com</a>.');
?>

Will output:

Please visit <a href="http://www.wordpress.com" target='_blank' rel='external'>WordPress.com</a>
