How to open links in a new tab
The Medium embed supports opening links in new tabs by adding a line to the embed
code snippet. The feature name is "openNewTab" and it must be set to true.
See the example below:
<div id="fm-medium-embed"></div>
<script src="//data.feedmirror.com/embed.js"></script>
<script>
var fmSettings = {
feedURL: # YOUR FEED URL HERE ,
integration: 'medium-embed',
linkOutText: 'Read more',
linkToMediumProfileText: 'Subscribe on Medium',
postsCount: 3,
openNewTab: true,
element: 'fm-medium-embed'
};
feedmirror.initialize(fmSettings);
</script>
If openNewTab is not present, or if it is set to false, links will open in the current tab.
A couple things to note:
- each line in the code snippet options must to end with a comma, except for the last line.
- This feature isn't enabled by default because it is recommended to let website visitors choose if they want a link to open in a new tab, rather opening the new tab for them.
