Open Link in Same Tab

I also need this functionality. I think the best option, is to give a choice on how the link will open. 

Thanks for letting us know your need! I'll be sure my team gets this feature request. 

I am looking for the same functionality. I need to keep my users within the LMS. Can this be a setting that you can change when you add a link? Thanks.

Hey, Edward Developer2! Changing the hyperlink behavior is not a feature in Rise 360 currently, but thanks for sharing your need for it!

Missed this thread. Really really need. I did pass on an email as well. With current setup of our learning system we must remain in the same tab for links.

I also need this feature, if Articulate is taking user requests.

It looks like someone might have found a bit of a workaround by editing the Javascript, though it didn't work for me: https://community.articulate.com/discussions/rise-360/open-external-link-is-same-tab-window#reply-622292

Thanks, James. We're tracking requests for handling linked content differently. I'll let you know here if we make any changes.

Vote up on this feature request!

We need this feature as well.

This is an important feature for us as well; we are building a course for support staff working with survivors of intimate partner violence, and it is important that we are able to include a quick exit link on every page that will take the user to a non-IPV related site. 

We also would love to have this feature

this would be a great update

If you're comfortable with vanilla Javascript, you can add this on your exported page within a script tag. It seeks out any anchor tags with a specific domain and swaps out the "_blank" target attribute with "_self". I've put a timeout on it, because even though I'm firing this after the DOM loaded, it didn't seem to work without a delay.

var domReady = function(callback) {
 document.readyState === "interactive" || document.readyState === "complete" ? callback() : document.addEventListener("DOMContentLoaded", callback);
};

domReady(function(){
 setTimeout(function(){
 var nldLinks = document.querySelectorAll("a[href='https://yourdomain.com/']");

 for (var i = nldLinks.length - 1; i >= 0; i--) {
 nldLinks[i].setAttribute("target","_self");
 }
},1000)
 
})

We would need this feature urgently. I tried the mentioned javascript method. But it ist did not work as I have expected. Could you be so kind and dicribe how this works in your case.

I tried to ad your pice of script into the "main.bundle.js". The result was, that the cours did not start at all.

I also need this functionality for the LMS. Any updates, Articulate?? I'd really rather not ask my client to mess with their javascript....

No updates yet, Darla. Thanks for adding your support for this request!

 I also need this functionality quite urgently. Is there a way to know if this feature is on Articulate's to-do list?

Are there any other workarounds aside from the Javascript solution provided above? That didn't work for me unfortunately. 

Hi Emily! This isn't something on our feature roadmap right now, but we'll let you know if we add it in the future. 

I also support this functionality. Very concerned about learners getting lost!

I also need this feature especially with courses on mobile devices. Thanks

Dear Corey,

I tried your script tag but it didn't work. Would it be possible to get some more details?

We have many needs for link customizations; the highest need is a link opening in the same tab. For example, we are making a living glossary of terms in Rise and we do not want a new tab for each letter of the alphabet. With several million clients, we need a solution that will work similar to the "Start" button. Can Articulate create a toggle or similar solution for hyperlinks to open in the same window?

Thank you for the additional context, ClassLink! I've added it to our tracker for this feature. We'll post any updates here.

We also need this functionality - we have created a master course in Rise that links to several smaller lessons in the LMS - the learners get so confused when multiple windows keep opening. It would be really helpful to be able to specify where links open. 

I tried creating a storyline block to pull into Rise and couldn't get it to work. I created a button with trigger to open a URL in the same window. I pulled this into the Rise course as a block. No luck.
