How do I create a website link?

[ThaoLe1]

When I click on the created ESRI link, it will open another webpage.  How can I configure it so that it opens in the same webpage?

Thao,

  There is no json configuration for the target setup in the source code. If you want to do something like that then you will have to modify the source code for the HeaderController/widget.js.

Find the file here "themes\FoldableTheme\widgets\HeaderController\Widget.js" and then find the _createDynamicLinks function there @ line 376 you will find the target hard coded to '_blank'

Thanks Robert, it works perfectly.

Thao,

You could change the line like Robert said:

Find the file here "themes\FoldableTheme\widgets\HeaderController\Widget.js" and then find the _createDynamicLinks function there @ line 376 you will find the target hard coded to '_blank'

but change it to

target: link.target,

Then go into your config at the root of your application and add the comma and a target option.

"links": [
    {
      "label": "test",
      "url": "http://www.esri.com",
      "target": "_self"
    }
  ],

This allows you to now change it in the config file.
