I am using the "url" fieldname to override a nav link for CMSB, how can I get it to pop into a new window rather than the current window?

This is the code I am using:

<?php if ($categoryRecord['url']) { $categoryRecord['_link'] = $categoryRecord['url']; } ?>

Thanks - how would I use that line in the code below so I get the "url" override field to pop open into a new window. I tried to add it but was getting every link in the nav popping up as a new window.

<?php foreach ($categoryRecords as $categoryRecord): ?>
<?php if ($categoryRecord['url']) { $categoryRecord['_link'] = $categoryRecord['url']; } ?>
<?php echo $categoryRecord['_listItemStart'] ?>
<?php if ($categoryRecord['_isSelected']): ?>
<a href="<?php echo $categoryRecord['_link'] ?>"><?php echo $categoryRecord['name'] ?></a>
<?php else: ?>
<a href="<?php echo $categoryRecord['_link'] ?>"><?php echo $categoryRecord['name'] ?></a>
<?php endif; ?>
<?php echo $categoryRecord['_listItemEnd'] ?>
<?php endforeach; ?>

Hi,

Try this (I've highlighted the change in red):

<?php foreach ($categoryRecords as $categoryRecord): ?>
<?php if ($categoryRecord['url']) { $categoryRecord['_link'] = $categoryRecord['url']; } ?>
<?php echo $categoryRecord['_listItemStart'] ?>
<?php if ($categoryRecord['_isSelected']): ?>

<a href="<?php echo $categoryRecord['_link'] ?>" <?php if($categoryRecord['url']){echo "target='_blank'";};?>><?php echo $categoryRecord['name'] ?></a>
<?php else: ?>
<a href="<?php echo $categoryRecord['_link'] ?>" <?php if($categoryRecord['url']){echo "target='_blank'";};?>><?php echo $categoryRecord['name'] ?></a>
<?php endif; ?>
<?php echo $categoryRecord['_listItemEnd'] ?>
<?php endforeach; ?>

Hope this helps.
