Is there a way to force items in a dynamic list to open in a new tab if they're internal links?

This can be done with other links, but Brightspot does not offer this feature for dynamic lists.

Q&A

Can I add a new platform to the social links offered on Brightspot?

October 12, 2020 04:26 PM
No. However, some social links can be added using embed codes. For example, tiktok videos can be embedded under the “Twitter” social link. First, click on the “Tweet” button on RichText, then select “Twitter Embed” and copy and paste the embed code from the social link to link onto the page. You can also use an external link to other platforms as needed.

Q&A

How do I create anchor tags on Brightspot?

October 12, 2020 04:22 PM
To create an anchor tag in rich text, highlight the text and click on the tag widget. A menu will pop up to edit “text” and insert either an internal (within the current site) or an external link. A video tutorial can be found at https://sites.byu.edu/docs/publishing/create-anchor-link.
