Redmine plugin: External links in new window

About

Make external & attachment links open in new browser windows. Redmine's own links are still opened in the same (application) window.

(The original version, from which this one was forked off, opened new windows for Redmine's own site-local links, too.)

No configuration, no DB dependency.

Compatibility

Tested with Redmine 2.3.1. and Redmine 4.0.3.

(The original one was also tested with Redmine 0.9.6, 1.0.5, 2.1.0, but this one changed a few things, so there may be problems on those old versions.)

Note: this one is also incompatible with the original plugin: if both are installed, only one will work. (But they will not crash, as I changed the relevant identifiers to avoid collisions.)

Installation

Download the sources and put them into your Redmine plugins folder.

$ cd {REDMINE_ROOT}
$ git clone git://github.com/lunakid/external_links_in_new_window.git plugins/external_links_in_new_window

Restart Redmine and have a fun!
