Open Image in New Tab

A lot of people have been asking about opening the link on the main image in a new tab or window. This is a pretty easy fix, so I thought I’d walk through the steps here.

Getting Started

All the setup should be the same as a regular PikaChoose setup.

API Hook

We’re going to change how you can PikaChoose slightly to take advantage of a hook. This way we can inject our code in where we want it.

$(document).ready(function (){
   var a = function(self){
      self.anchor.attr('target','_blank');
   };
   $("#pikame").PikaChoose({buildFinished:a});
});

Example
