Hi Wouter,
Vincent's solution is the most correct one from the Java development and
best practice point of view. But for some less experienced developers it
might be a bit difficult imho. So I can think of a way to work around
this (i.e. do a quick dirty fix).
An easier solution, though not the most elegant one, would be to write a
piece of Javascript code to be executed on page load. It should search
fpr links in the RSS block(s) and write the "rel" or "target"
attribute
to "_blank". The only problem is that you should include that script via
xwiki.jsx.use(...) on each page you want this feature on.
The Javascript could look something like this:
document.observe("xwiki:dom:loaded") {
var rssLinks = $$('.rssitemtitle a'); //the css selector for links in the
'div's generated by the {{rss}} macro.
rssLinks.each(function(link){
link.writeAttribute('target', '_blank');
});
}
I hope it helps. Cheers!
Stefan.
Hi Vincent,
Thanx for the feedback, I will spend some time on trying this out, its new
for me but of interest definately!
Another issue with the rss feed, is there a possibility to show this in a
panel? Since then my users can just move their heads to the left and see the
panel getting updated with the feed, and dont need to go to a page to do so.
Is this possible at all?
Sure, just put the rss macro in a panel…
Thanks
-Vincent
Would be a nice feature, if its not possible yet,
I know, I go and make Jira
issues :-)
Thanx,
Wouter

Right now this feature is not part of the RSS macro. It could be
interesting to
add it though.
Now we could imagine some workaround but they
require a bit of work.
Basically:
* create a wiki macro with the same name
"rss"
* In the content of this wiki macro, use Groovy to lookup the original
rss macro,
execute it, then get its XDOM and find all LinkBlocks, then add
rel="blank" in those blocks.
It's only about 6-7 lines of groovy script in
total but it may be easy or
hard depending on your current knowledge of xwiki
components/rendering.
Actually a slightly cleaner version is simply to write a Transformation
(since this is what it's for! :)). So you don't need to overwrite the wiki
macro. All you need is to add a new Transformation.
Thanks
-Vincent
PS to self: we really need to add wiki components since adding a
transformation is a nice use case for it.
Otherwise you could create a jira issue to
request this feature.
Thanks
-Vincent
