Hello,
I am trying to get custom menu items to open up within Moodle without being directed to a separate page. Any ideas on how to accomplish this?
I am running Moodle 3.0 and I am using the code " target="_blank to accomplish this.
For example --Moodle|http://moodle.org" target="_blank but this is not working.
Very strange.
I copied and pasted your text into my Moodle and it worked fine.
The only possible thing I can see here is that you used a double minus at the start which is a sub-menu. Does it work with a single minus?

Thanks for your input. I ended up using an iframe just because I wanted the link to open up within Moodle, not to another page.
Hi
Andy is right with the double minus
To open custom menu in new window use
Linkname|https://www.Yoursite. com " target=\"_blank this for first level link
If you want drop down menu then you do the following
Linkname|
-Linkname1|https://www.Yoursite. com " target=\"_blank
-Linkname2|https://www.Yoursite. com " target=\"_blank
--Linkname2a|https://www.Yoursite. com " target=\"_blank
The minus denotes the positioning in the menu the more '-' the more navigation menu levels
To open in same window you dont need to use target
Gary
target="_blank" will open in a tab/window.
No need for an iframe - if you want a link to open in the same window, use target="_self"
Actually, I did need an iframe. Maybe I didn't explain this properly. I wanted to have the page open up WITHIN Moodle, not on another page. The only way I was able to accomplish this was with an iframe.
