Modify Links on the Site [Enhancement]

Open Bogie21 opened this issue 9 years ago • 2 comments

Links such as profile should load to a pop-up box similar to the "Cog" (Setting) window. This will help user continuitity on the site. It wont pull users away from the music room they are in. Especially when trying to view other users profiles.

Along with this, any link that takes you away from the site should be loaded in a new tab by default, bypassing the user set preferences (Settings -> Behavior -> Always Open Links in New Window). (IE Chrome Extension, Donate Bitcoin, etc. should always load a new tab)

Bypassing user preferences is something we want to avoid, so we instead have a setting to "Always open links in a new window" up top, in the settings window. When we implement a proper single-page application, the music will keep playing if you click an on-site link, but will open new links in new windows.

I understand avoiding bypassing user preferences. This, realistically, wouldn't modify that user setting, though. By default, all links load a new page on the same tab. The exception to this should be links which take you away from your site. This way, whether the box is checked or not, all external links will open a new tab. This way you're not driving visitors away from your site.
