Hi Folks,

Ive just finished the manual link option in Zentools2 and while there are more things to add to the next release (v1.1) I thought I would drop this version here for you.

I haven't written the docs for this yet so:

- Manual link option is available for all content sources except for Gallery and Joomla banners as they are essentially manual links anyway.
- K2 author now basically has the option to use the author url for the link. No manual link option for this source.
- Joomla content can now use the Joomla item alternate link a or manual links.

1. For the other sources to choose the manual link go the content tab in the module admin and select manual links.

2. In textbox that appears type a link per line. eg click enter after each link you write.

3. There is an option to fallback to the item link if no link exists for this item. So if you enable this and only add one link then the first item will get the manual link and all others will get whatever the default link was.

Manual links wont work if you have a random or regularly changing content.

The links apply to the items in which order they appear on the page. So your first link int he list will apply to the first item in the module and so forth.

Thanks

Thanks Anthony

I have updated and external links now work
One problem;
I have a site with a zentools carousel and links open in a new browser window, perfect.
Zentools2 however open in the same browser window, any way to get the link to open in a new window as zentools does?

Thanks
Billy
