I've received the following request from some of the admin users:
When viewing the products list (The Manage Products screen), they want products to open in a new tab when clicking on them to edit.
I'm not sure if it's as simple as setting target="_blank" somewhere or if it's more complex, I honestly am not sure where to start.
Can someone please help me or at least point me in the right direction, please?
Tell them to use middle mouse click for new tab :D.
Now seriously, the edit link is generated in the method Mage_Adminhtml_Block_Catalog_Product_Grid::_prepareColumns with this code:
$this->addColumn('action', array( 'header' => Mage::helper('catalog')->__('Action'), 'width' => '50px', 'type' => 'action', 'getter' => 'getId', 'actions' => array( array( 'caption' => Mage::helper('catalog')->__('Edit'), 'url' => array( 'base'=>'*/*/edit', 'params'=>array('store'=>$this->getRequest()->getParam('store')) ), 'field' => 'id' ) ), 'filter' => false, 'sortable' => false, 'index' => 'stores', )); if you make the actions section look like this
'actions' => array( array( 'caption' => Mage::helper('catalog')->__('Edit'), 'url' => array( 'base'=>'*/*/edit', 'params'=>array('store'=>$this->getRequest()->getParam('store')) ), 'field' => 'id', 'target' => '_blank' ) ), You should get it to open in a new tab.
But don't edit the code. Just rewrite the method.
