Open Link in Same Tab
I've seen this discussed before, but I have not found a clear answer. I need a link to open in the same tab as the rise course. Essentially, this will exit the course and go to a page of my choosing. The Exit Course option does not work within the LMS I'm using (Moodle). However, if I can get a link to open in the same tab, this will give me the control I need. It appears all links default to opening in new browser tabs. Is there a way around this behavior?

We need this as well. Is there an update on this feature? It seems this has been requested for quite a while.
Yes the feature is needed for my team as well.
Very important that RISE 360 allows this feature soon.
I see this is quite old - is there any plan to update this feature? I have not seen it on the Features roadmap.
Previous solutions referenced modifying the main.bundle.js file. However, the naming conventions of the published Rise files have now changed. To locate the correct file, it is recommended to first download the published content to your computer since using your LMS to conduct a deep search of the file content may not work as well.
Once you have extracted the content, navigate to scormcontent>lib>rise. Then, in the search bar, type the following string: isIphoneSafari?"_top
This will help bring up the correct file where this code string is located and where the change needs to occur. Once you open the file in a text editor, use Ctrl-F to search again for isIphoneSafari?"_top
From there, you'll find something similar to isIphoneSafari?"_top":"_self",Q=E?j:"_blank"
The letter combination between "_self" and "_blank" may vary depending on the most recent Rise update to the js files. Simply change "_blank" to "_top" then save the file. That's it!Hello,
We would also like a link to open in the same tab as the rise course. From what I can see from the thread am I correct in thinking this is not currently possible?
Thanks,
Ruth
Hi Ruth!
Thanks for checking in on this!
Our development team is still tracking feedback on the feature request to give authors the choice of how hyperlinks behave in Rise 360. I've included your voice in the feature report, and will update this discussion as soon as we have news to share!
In the meantime, here's a deeper look at how we manage feature requests.
Thanks so much for sharing your voice with us, Suzanna. I've added you to our feature report. We'll update this thread in the future if we have any news to share.
Have a great day!
Add me to the list please. Open in same tab would help us with a need for a project with high confidentiality and privacy needs.
Hi Concetta!
Thanks for the feedback!
I've included you in the feature report and will update this discussion as soon as we have news to share. If you'd like to stay up to date, please bookmark our Feature Roadmap.
Just jumping on this thread -- we use an LMS called Samaritan to handle Volunteer training. Samaritan requires the learner to click on an "Endpoint Link" at the end of a SCORM activity to get credit for completing an activity, and that link MUST open in the same frame (it won't work if the link opens in a new tab).
We currently have to go into the published project files and manually update the hyperlink to define the target as self. Previously that code could be found in an HTML file, and it completely threw off our workflow whenever that code suddenly relocated into a JS file instead. We also have to decode/re-encode a giant block of Base64 text in order to access that code and make that change. However, it would be FAR easier to simply be able to adjust that setting in Rise itself.
Regardless, add my name and institution to the ever-growing list of folks who have asked for this over the past 5 years.
