Target=_Blank for Cards report template

cardsreport.PNGI wanted to use the “Cards” report template for a small report which lists file attachments. When the user clicks on one of the cards, the file should download and open in a new tab/window. Unfortunately, the Cards report template does not include a placeholder for extra attributes for the anchor tag, so it won’t let me add “target=_blank” like I would normally.

One solution is to edit the Cards template to add the extra placeholder; however, this means breaking the subscription from the universal theme.

As a workaround for this I’ve added a small bit of javascript to add the attribute after page load, and whenever the region is refreshed.

  • Set report static ID, e.g. “mycardsreport”
  • Add Dynamic Action:
    • Event = After Refresh
    • Selection Type = Region
    • Region = (the region)
  • Add True Action: Execute JavaScript Code
    • Code = $("#mycardsreport a.t-Card-wrap").attr("target","_blank"); (replace the report static ID in the selector)
    • Fire On Page Load = Yes

Note: this code affects all cards in the chosen report.
