Open custom portfolio link only works partially with "load more" function. - Support

Hey ThorstenFB,

Thank you for the inquiry.

Try to add this code to the functions.php file to re-apply the target attribute to the loaded portfolio items.

add_action('wp_footer', function () {
    ?>
    <script>
        jQuery(function ($) {

            function applyMasonryTargetBlank() {
                setTimeout(function () {
                    $('.av-masonry-entry a').attr('target', '_blank');
                }, 500);
            }

            applyMasonryTargetBlank();

            $(window).on('debouncedresize', function () {
                applyMasonryTargetBlank();
            });

        });
    </script>
    <?php
}, 9999);

Best regards,
Ismael

Hi Ismael,

thanks for your help. Unfortunately this isn’t working on my site (see private content).
Do you have an idea to resolve?

Thanks a lot

Hi,

Thank you for the update.

It seems to be working when we tested it on our end. Please try to increase the timeout from 500 ms to 1000 ms or longer. If you can provide the login details in the private field, we’ll check the script further.

Best regards,
Ismael

HI Ismael,

thanks again for your help!
I changed the timeout but the problem still exists.
You see the login details in the private content.

Hi,

Thank you for the link.

We adjusted the script a bit, added change detection to the .av-masonry-container, then apply the target attribute to its child elements or entries. It should work correctly now.

add_action('wp_footer', function () {
    ?>
    <script>
    jQuery(function ($) {
        function applyTargetBlank(container) {
            container.find('a').each(function () {
                if (!$(this).attr('target') || $(this).attr('target') !== '_blank') {
                    $(this).attr('target', '_blank');
                }
            });
        }

        var masonryContainer = $('.av-masonry-container');

        applyTargetBlank(masonryContainer);

        var observer = new MutationObserver(function (mutationsList) {
            mutationsList.forEach(function (mutation) {
                if (mutation.addedNodes.length) {
                    $(mutation.addedNodes).each(function () {
                        if ($(this).hasClass('av-masonry-entry') || $(this).find('.av-masonry-entry').length) {
                            applyTargetBlank($(this));
                        }
                    });
                }
            });
        });

        if (masonryContainer.length) {
            observer.observe(masonryContainer[0], {
                childList: true,
                subtree: true
            });
        }

        $(window).on('debouncedresize', function () {
            setTimeout(function () {
                applyTargetBlank(masonryContainer);
            }, 2000);
        });

        $(document).on('click', '.av-masonry-load-more', function () {
            setTimeout(function () {
                applyTargetBlank(masonryContainer);
            }, 2000);
        });

    });
    </script>
    <?php
}, 9999);

Best regards,
Ismael
