Open files to new window

[sh0gun_of_harlem]

I can link to PDFs that are uploaded in the wiki, but I would like them to open up in a new window.

[[Media:Example.pdf]] is what I am using to link to the files now.

I am not sure how to open them up in a new window. I have searched around the forum and cannot find an answer so any help is greatly appreciated.

you can accomplish this via javascript by adding the following to MediaWiki:Common.js (this will only work on the .pdf files)

function modifyPdfLinks() {
  var links = document.getElementsByTagName('a');
  for(var i = 0; i < links.count; i++) {
    var temp = links[i].href.split('.');
    if(temp[temp.count - 1].toLowerCase() == 'pdf') {
      links[i].target = '_blank';
      continue;
    }
  }
}

addOnloadHook(modifyPdfLinks);
