Buy Button in New Window for External Product Page URL

[Rick Barron]

I’d like to place a widget in the sidebar of the shopping cart that offers a product sold by an external page but cannot figure out how to redirect the thumbnail, buy and detail buttons to use the blank target option. I’ve added target=”_blank” to the code for the PayPal Buy Now Button Form in the file eStore_Misc_Functions.php but it has the effect of disabling the button.

Appreciate suggestions on how to make this work to direct clients to the external site without closing the shopping cart on my site. Thank you.

Here is the shortcode I’m using for the widget.

[wp_eStore_fancy_display id=4 type=2 style=5]

What do you mean by “external page?”

[Rick Barron]

I need to display a page outside the website. I’m using the Button Redirect Target URL to send the visitor to another web site.

If the “other website” is also using eStore, use a button image with a “text link” Buy Now URL:

The other site is not managed by me and is not using eStore.

Then you would use a traditional HTML button, that redirects to the other site.

Is there a short code?

[wzp]

No, because you are performing a basic HTML level function.
