Open link in new tab.

[shhfrlsk06]

Can anyone help me on how to configure the sitemapnode to open in new tab, already try using target and target frame but seem not working. already go through your documentation on Defining Sitemap Using xml but not found it there.

Thanks in advance.

This is what custom attributes are for. You can define a new one named "target" quite easily:

<mvcSiteMapNode title="About" controller="Home" action="About" target="_blank"/>

Then to make sure the new attribute doesn't interfere with routing, you need to add it to AttributesToIgnore.

Internal DI:

<appSettings>
    <add key="MvcSiteMapProvider_AttributesToIgnore" value="target"/>
</appSettings>

External DI (Ninject example):

this.Kernel.Bind<IReservedAttributeNameProvider>().To<ReservedAttributeNameProvider>()
            .WithConstructorArgument("attributesToIgnore", new string[] { "target" });

Then you can access the attribute through the HTML helper templates. Change /Views/Shared/DisplayTemplates/SiteMapNodeModel.cshtml so it can set the new value if it exists (the following assumes you are using at least MVC 4).

@model MvcSiteMapProvider.Web.Html.Models.SiteMapNodeModel
@using System.Web.Mvc.Html
@using MvcSiteMapProvider.Web.Html.Models

@if (Model.IsCurrentNode && Model.SourceMetadata["HtmlHelper"].ToString() != "MvcSiteMapProvider.Web.Html.MenuHelper")  { 
    <text>@Model.Title</text>
}
else if (Model.IsClickable)
{
    var target = Model.Attributes.ContainsKey("target") ? Model.Attributes["target"] : null;
    <a href="@Model.Url" title="@Model.Description" target="@target">@Model.Title</a>
} else {
    <text>@Model.Title</text>
}

                        @foreach (SiteMapNodeModel node in nodeList)
                       {
                            string url = node.IsClickable ? node.Url : "#";

                            if (!node.Children.Any())
                            {
                                <li><a href="@url">@node.Title</a></li>
                            }
                            else
                            {
                                <li class="dropdown"><a class="dropdown-toggle" data-    toggle="dropdown">@node.Title <span class="caret"></span>    </a>@DropDownMenu(node.Children)</li>
                        }

                            if (node != nodeList.Last())
                            {
                                <li class="divider-vertical"></li>
                            }
                        }
                    </ul>
                    @Html.Partial("_LoginPartial")
                </div>

    }

    @helper DropDownMenu(SiteMapNodeModelList nodeList)
    {
        <ul class="dropdown-menu" role="menu">
            @foreach (SiteMapNodeModel node in nodeList)
                {
                    if (node.Title == "Separator")
                {
                    <li class="divider"></li>
                    continue;
                }

                string url = node.IsClickable ? node.Url : "#";

                if (!node.Children.Any())
