Hi Wouter,
Vincent's solution is the most correct one from the Java development and
best practice point of view. But for some less experienced developers it
might be a bit difficult imho. So I can think of a way to work around
this (i.e. do a quick dirty fix).
An easier solution, though not the most elegant one, would be to write a
piece of Javascript code to be executed on page load. It should search
fpr links in the RSS block(s) and write the "rel" or "target" attribute
to "_blank". The only problem is that you should include that script via
xwiki.jsx.use(...) on each page you want this feature on.
The Javascript could look something like this:
document.observe("xwiki:dom:loaded") {
var rssLinks = $$('.rssitemtitle a'); //the css selector for links in the
'div's generated by the {{rss}} macro.
rssLinks.each(function(link){
link.writeAttribute('target', '_blank');
});
}
I hope it helps. Cheers!
Stefan.
