Hello 

Pramodh M

Any additional help will be great .... Anything else you can think of?

Would you know how i can direct this question to atlassian confluence developers, to file a bug?

I really need to find a fix for this

Thank you

[Pramodh M]

May I know if this the old editor you are working with or the new one

Can you try once with new editor if it's old

Here's the link for filing a bug

support.atlassian.com

[Allie Watfa]

Thanks again @Pramodh M ... 

i am using confluence production .... part of my company

Confluence 7.13.2

Pretty sure it is a new version 

Tried to file a bug at: support.atlassian.com

But it needs a url, i only have what is within my company pages ... so i can not file the bug

Is there any other way to file the confluence bug?

Thanks

Hi @Allie Watfa 

Welcome to Confluence!!

For the links you have added in the Image, can you try adding URL in a format without base URL with only path to the page?

Let me know if this works

Thanks,
Pramodh

FYI

In the new editor, the link will open the same browser be it an internal link or external one.

Thank you for your reply @Pramodh M 

Actually i am asking for the reverse ...

I will like the link to open in the same tab ..... for me any link is opening in the a new tab, but the same window

I will like it to open in the same tab and same window ..... 

how can i achieve that ...... 

this is my html ....

<div class="topnav"> <a class="active" href="https://oneconfluence.verizon.com/pages/viewpage.action?pageId=644822199">Home</a> </div>

@Allie Watfa 

Add a new anchor tag with only the link and it give a name Home and try!!

[Allie Watfa]

Above i am showing how confluence opens a new tab for every link clicked

I would like confluence to open the link in the same tab

Thanks

@Pramodh M 

It seems someone asked this question before:

https://community.atlassian.com/t5/Jira-questions/How-to-open-confluence-links-on-the-same-tab-from-Service-Desk/qaq-p/657995

Now sure why we cant ;-{

Hi @Allie Watfa 

Now when you edit the page what macro do you get, or may I know how will you get the format to edit the content where the URL resides?

Screenshot is appreciated

[Allie Watfa]

Using the html macro

Thanks

[Pramodh M]

@Allie Watfa 

Try adding the 

target="_self"

parameter to anchor element in HTML and see it opens in the same tab!!

Thanks

[Allie Watfa]

Yeah, it seems it ignores any target ..... i tried _self and _blank .... nothing changed

When i click on home, it opens a new tab

[Allie Watfa]
