Getting target="_blank" to work for links

[TheBigK]

Steve,

I'm trying hard to get target="_blank" working in my links. I've tried -

'Attr.AllowedFrameTargets' => ['_blank'], and
'HTML.Allowed' => 'a[href|target|rel]',

but it still throws message that "Attribute 'target' in element 'a' not supported (for information on implementing this, see the support forums) ",

Would really appreciate if you could suggest a way to make this work. I've spent at least 4 hours on this, but without success.

Hi @TheBigK,

You'll need to add that attribute to your purifier definition as shown in the example in the readme for compatibility with the trix editor:

https://github.com/stevebauman/purify#custom-configuration-rules

protected function setupDefinitions(HTMLPurifier_HTMLDefinition $def)
{
    $def->addAttribute('a', 'target', 'Text');
}

I couldn't get @stevebauman's solution to work, but I stumbled on this config option:
'HTML.TargetBlank' => true which works perfectly for my case. Hope it helps someone.
