18.5. Modifying the PHP-Nuke Web_Links module
In this section we modify the PHP-Nuke Web Links module:
How to display Web Links in the same window (Section 18.5.1),
How to change the number of Web Links per page (Section 18.5.2).
18.5.1. How to display Web Links in the same window
The Web_Links module will display each web link in a separate window. To change this behaviour and make it display the link in the same window, you have to change each occurence of
target=\"new\" |
to
target=\"_self\" |
in the modules/Web_Links/index.php file. This is a straightforward search and replace procedure. In vi, you would do
1,$s/target=\\"new\\"/target=\\"_self\\"/g |
18.5.2. How to change the number of Web Links per page
You can change the number of Web Links that are displayed per page very easily - no programming necessary!

$perpage = 10; |
