Open a blank page from menu?

When a user logs in, the home page is blank. Good. But I also want to add a menu item that says “New Tab/Window” where the user clicks it and it opens up a second instance of the blank home page on a new tab in the browser. I can do this manually by right clicking on a menu item. But I want an explicit menu item to do this so that the user know it’s possible.

Likey requires a JavaScript guy to jump in :facepunch:

  1. Create a page in your Builder called New Tab
  2. Add this to your custom JS:
$(document).on('knack-scene-render.any', function(event, scene) {
  const newTab = $('[data-kn-slug="#new-tab"]') // replace #new-tab with your url
  newTab.attr('target', '_blank')
  newTab.attr('href', '#login') // replace #login with your home url
})

Great. Thanks again.

So this works as advertised. How would I change the page title (tab label) to reflect what ever page the user goes to?

@JurgenPeter Feel free to send me a private message so I can learn more about your use-case. Happy to take a look.

Do you want the user’s current page to open in a new tab when they click “New Tab”?

If so you can do this:

  1. Create a page in your Builder called New Tab
  2. Add this to your Custom JS:
$(document).on('knack-scene-render.any', function(event, scene) {
  const newTab = $('[data-kn-slug="#new-tab"]') // replace #new-tab with your url
  const currentPage = location.href
  newTab.attr('target', '_blank')
  newTab.attr('href', currentPage)
})
