Downloads in new Tab / Window

For Documents that can be viewed with the Browser (e.g PDF files), it might be appropriate to present them in a new browser tab.

You can set the behavior of the download links for each template.

Goto WP-Filebase Pro -> Manage Templates -> Files and edit for example the FIlebrowser template, which is by default:

%file_small_icon% <a href="%file_url%" title="Download %file_display_name%">%file_display_name%</a> (%file_size%)

Add the HTML attribute target=”_blank”:

%file_small_icon% <a href="%file_url%" target="_blank" title="Download %file_display_name%">%file_display_name%</a> (%file_size%)

You can do this for every template, just look for <a href="%file_url%" and replace it with <a href="%file_url%" target="_blank"
