Any way in XML to force the Google search to open in a new window?

The problem: our school uses google sites, and my google searches are opening in a smallish section.

Thanks. :-)

Unfortunately there is no way to do it currently. I am going to implement this in near future.

I've implemented openLinksInNewWindow parameter in the embedding code. To force all links to be opened in a new window use an embedding code like this for simple embedding with object tag:

<object
    width="600"
    height="600"
    type="application/x-shockwave-flash"
    data="http://cdn.tagul.com/cloud.swf">
       <param name="movie" value="http://cdn.tagul.com/cloud.swf"></param>
       <param name="flashvars" value="id=demo@demo&openLinksInNewWindow=true"></param>
       <param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param>
       <param name="swfversion" value="10"/>
       <param name="expressinstall" value="http://cdn.tagul.com/expressInstall.swf"/>
</object>

for swfobject:

<script type="text/javascript">
    swfobject.embedSWF("http://tagul.com/cdn/cloudTest.swf", "myCloud",
        "600", "600", "10.0.0", "http://cdn.tagul.com/expressInstall.swf",
        {id: "demo@demo", openLinksInNewWindow: "true"},
        {allowscriptaccess: "always", bgcolor: "#ffffff"},
        {id: "myCloudObject", name: "myCloudObject"});
</script>

Forgive my ignorance, I'm just not that familiar with XML.

I pasted this, and my links still aren't opening in a new window, and I can't figure out which part of the code applies to not opening in a new window:

<object
width="300"
height="300"
type="application/x-shockwave-flash"
data="http://cdn.tagul.com/cloud.swf">
<param name="movie" value="http://cdn.tagul.com/cloud.swf"></param>
<param name="flashvars" value="id=11151@1"></param>
<param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param>
<param name="swfversion" value="10"/>
<param name="expressinstall" value="http://cdn.tagul.com/expressInstall.swf"/>
</object>

I also am not sure if I need the swfobject code?

You should replace "id=11151@1" with "id=11151@1&openLinksInNewWindow=true" in your code. Here are the benefits of using swfobject

Now it is not working at all and I tried rebuilding from scratch. Man, this is frustrating. Any clue what the problem is when it says "n/a."

leannaaker,

it looks like an error in flashvars in your embedding code. Could you please paste the embedding code you use so I can check it and fix a mistake.

Any fix for this yet? I'm having the same problem. Here's my coding:

<object width="300" height="68" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" data="http://cdn.tagul.com/cloud.swf">
<param name="movie" value="http://cdn.tagul.com/cloud.swf"></param>
<param name="flashvars" value="id=12382@1&openLinksInNewWindow=true">
<param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param>
<param name="swfversion" value="10"/>
<param name="expressinstall" value="http://cdn.tagul.com/expressInstall.swf"/>
<embed src="http://cdn.tagul.com/cloud.swf" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" width="300" height="68" flashvars="id=12382@1&openLinksInNewWindow=true"></embed>
</object>

and here's my website: http://www.inreviewonline.com

roco133, I've checked your cloud and your links are opened in a new window. If you don't have this experience please try to clear your browser cache and completely reload the page.

<object width="100" height="100" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" data="http://cdn.tagul.com/cloud.swf">
<param name="movie" value="http://cdn.tagul.com/cloud.swf"></param>
<param name="flashvars" value="id=11151@2">
<param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param>
<param name="swfversion" value="10"/>
<param name="expressinstall" value="http://cdn.tagul.com/expressInstall.swf"/>
<embed src="http://cdn.tagul.com/cloud.swf" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" width="100" height="100" flashvars="id=11151@2"></embed>
</object>

leannaaker, it should be

<object width="100" height="100" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" data="http://cdn.tagul.com/cloud.swf">
<param name="movie" value="http://cdn.tagul.com/cloud.swf"></param>
<param name="flashvars" value="id=11151@2&openLinksInNewWindow=true">
<param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param>
<param name="swfversion" value="10"/>
<param name="expressinstall" value="http://cdn.tagul.com/expressInstall.swf"/>
<embed src="http://cdn.tagul.com/cloud.swf" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" width="100" height="100" flashvars="id=11151@2"></embed>
</object>

Pay attention to the "&openLinksInNewWindow=true" parameter passed.

Hi Alex,

This still does not work. When I say "doesn't work"...I'm not talking about the links not opening in a new window...I mean my site says "N/A" where the cloud should be. It was working before I started trying to edit the code. :-/

leannaaker, you get N/A because your clouds are blank. Rebuild it with Tagul site and save it once again and you shouldn't see N/A anymore.

Hi Alex,

I just tried that and I still get the N/A message. I tried even starting a new cloud with the same words and starting over. No go.

Any thoughts?

Leanna,

your clouds are still blank and I don't see you created a new one.

1) Check whether you can see your cloud on the preview tab. If you can't then rebuild it.

2) Once you see your cloud on the preview tab, goto the finalize tab and make sure you click the save button

Then it should work.

I cannot see them on the preview tab, even after rebuilding. I've tried refetching the tags, rebuilding the cloud, and saving in different permutations, but I am still having the same problem.

When I said I made a new one, I was talking about the "science 2" cloud.

Alright, here is what I found out. If I deselect API mode, a cloud is visible, but I need API mode because I am trying to combine words, correct? When I select API mode, the cloud is not visible on the preview tab....

Do you see your tags on the tags tab after fetching? Could you please provide the url you use.

Yes, I do see tags on the tags tab.

Do you want a sample URL from the XML code?

Yes, please post or send me by email an url or xml that you use as your cloud source.

Alex, I sent an e-mail to the support e-mail address yesterday. I could not find anything more direct to get to you. Thanks!
