How to make the Home button not open in a new tab?

Forum Version: phpBB3

Hello! The owner of our site bought us copyrights and we added a Home image to the toolbar. I was wondering how instead of it sends the user to a new tab, it just reloads the current tab to the website's home.

Just to clarify, I'm talking about the link option for the toolbar, we made it to where there's a home button on it. :-)

What's your forum link?

How did he add this image?


Also why do you have 2 images that do the same thing?

Oh, it went to the forumotion website before, but it goes to our home now. I'll fix that. I used the Home button, using CSS and a background image to make it into a house.

Wait a minute!  Have you used credits to modify that link?  If you have not, you can not use codes to change it.  When you used credits to remove copyrights, the options to modify the toolbar copyrights become available.

AP > Modules > Toolbar

THey have used credits, fairly sure. Considering the toolbar link is missing and Forumotion copyrights at bottom are gone.

We have! :-)

Then all the founder has to do is add the image's URL in the correct box here:  AP > Modules > Toolbar.

Hey @Kelso!

Administration Panel >> Modules >> HTML & Javascript >> Javascript codes management >> Create new javascript

Title: Your choice
Placement: In all the pages

Code:

Code:

$(function() {
   $('#fa_service').attr("target", "");
});

This should preventing opening a new tab. And about that other FA Icon...

Code:

$('#fa_icon').attr("href", "http://help.forumotion.com");

Just add that code within the function and it should do the trick.

Have a nice day

Hey! Thank you for responding. :-D Unfortunately, the code did not work. I implemented it, causing our chatbox to disappear and the Homepage still coming up in another tab.

Sad day :-(

Hm. Try replacing the following codes

Code: ('#fa_service')

,

Code: ('#fa_icon')

with these

Code: ('#fa_toolbar #fa_service')

,

Code: ('#fa_toolbar #fa_icon')

respectively.

All the founder has to do is enter the image's URL in the correct box under Modules > Toolbar. 
Modify the copyrights:
Text of the link:
Site URL:  Link to page to load.
Logo of the Toolbar:  The image's URl will go here.
This options are only available when you used credits to remove copyrights which you said that the founder did.

What exactly is the founder trying to do?

@Ace_1 It didn't work. ;_;

@SLGray We're wanting to make it to where when we push the icon on the toolbar, instead of it opening a brand new tab, it will just reload the tab it's already on.

If I could find the HTML for the toolbar and remove the target="_blank" from it, that'll do the job.

Remove the (target="_blank") from the HTML.

@Anzo

No idea where to find it. =(

Since you said you bought the option with credits it should be in Templates > General > overall_header

If not then you can just keep looking through the templates until you find one that has "fa_service" in it. Though, I believe only forumotion is meant to be able to do that. Not quite sure.

As SLGray said, you should be able to avoid the hassle and do it from here: http://prntscr.com/bpdnzg

Everyone the topic starter is wanting to stop it from opening a new window only.
