Opening a new Browser Window with Navigation after clicking avatar. was created by MMDoege

I use a number of CB Login and CB Content modules where users got represented by their avatar field.
As these aren't menu items there is no option for a "Target Window" when one clicks on avatar displayed.
I'd like to open a new browser window to let a user toggle between browser views (eg. between a user list and a user profile).

Can the URL LOCATION substitution help here in any way? [cb:userfield field="avatar" user="255" reason="list" url location= /]
Or a redirection statement.

What's the best solution?

Thank you.

Right click and click "Open link in new tab" would be the easiest solution. Your alternative is to output the profile view of the avatar then manually add the link to it. Example as follows.

Code:

<a href="[cb:url location="profile_view" /]" target="_blank">[cb:userfield field="avatar" reason="profile" /]</a>

I really don't recommend opening extra windows for internal URLs though. Built in browser back functionality and right click open new functionality covers those usages fine.
