Changing gfeed to open links in a new window

in Using jQuery Plugins • 12 years ago

Hi,

I am using malsup's gfeed plugin with a feed on a site. The links go to an external site. How can I change the jquery of the plugin to open the links in a new window? Or how do I overwrite the "target="_self"" on links with jquery? Nothing I am trying is working. I am not new to jquery, but slow in learning.

Working example: http://webdesign.andover.edu/dev/0111_LibraryRSS/test.html

Thanks,

Jonathan Kapaldo

So I figured out my issue, but I did not use the gfeed plugin. I looked into the Google Feed API and figured it out. The api is not as hard to learn as I thought, and I am not a programer. Here are the resources that I found helpful in finding out my solution:

http://code.google.com/apis/feed/v1/

http://code.google.com/apis/ajax/playground/?exp=feeds#load_feed

http://www.theedifier.com/blogging-blogger/google-ajax-feed-api-feed-reader.php - Go to Configuring the Feed Control (Multiple Feeds Formatted Result), section 04a, Setting The Link Target.

Here is just the feed script code:

* How to use the Feed Control to grab, parse and display feeds.

google.load("feeds", "1");

function OnLoad() {

// Create a feed control

var feedControl = new google.feeds.FeedControl();

// Add one feed.

feedControl.addFeed("YourRSSFeed", "YourRSSFeedTitle");

// Options

feedControl.setLinkTarget("google.feeds.LINK_TARGET_BLANK");

feedControl.setNumEntries(4);

// Draw it.

feedControl.draw(document.getElementById("YourDIVName"));

}

google.setOnLoadCallback(OnLoad);

</script>

You'll need to include the jquery and google feed api files to make this work. Hope this is helpful.
