So I was wondering if there is any way to set the default target for the link editor, without having to change tinyMCE code (whether it be passing a callback or something in the tinyMCE.init, or what have you).
I dont want to force users to use a particular target, but I would just like for the default for all links to be opened in a new tab.
As far as I know, the only way to do this is to hack the editor.
If you want to do this, go to the "themes/advanced/js" directory and edit the file "link.js".
Somewhere near line #145 you will see these three lines:
lst.options[lst.options.length] = new Option(tinyMCEPopup.getLang('not_set'), '');
lst.options[lst.options.length] = new Option(tinyMCEPopup.getLang('advanced_dlg.link_target_same'), '_self');
lst.options[lst.options.length] = new Option(tinyMCEPopup.getLang('advanced_dlg.link_target_blank'), '_blank');
Re-arrange them any way you like. To make links open in a new tab/window, simply move the "target_blank" line (#3) up to the top (make it the #1 spot).
Hope this helps....
