When clicking on the profile picture in Joomla! the user's Facebook page opens, but it does so replacing our website page.
Is there a setting where we can make the user's FB open in a new tab instead?
Thank you

Good catch. We agree that should open in a new window when it's set to go to the user's FB profile.

To update now, edit the /modules/mod_sclogin/helper.php file. Around line 156, you'll see the getSocialAvatarImage function and at line 169, you'll see:
$html = '<a href="' . $profileURL . '">' . $html . '</a>';
Update that to the below adding the target parameter:
$html = '<a target="_BLANK" href="' . $profileURL . '">' . $html . '</a>';

Hope that helps!

Hello Alex,

In case you guys missed this, I noticed that in the latest version this is still not opening a new window.

Best regards
Erwin

Grr. Sorry about that. I've upped the priority on that ticket in our system to make sure it gets into the next release. Thanks for reminding us. Until then, you'll need to make the code change above.. again :)

Thanks,
Alex
