Configuring links to open Connections in same browser window

You can configure the portlets so that when a user clicks a Connections link it opens IBM Connections in the same browser window rather than the default, which is to open in a new window.

About this task

When you configure the portlets, you can enable an option that allows users to access the full IBM® Connections application from a portlet. Follow these steps to configure the option to open Connections in the same browser rather than opening a new window.
Note: Even if you configure this feature to open new links in the same browser window, links you open from the Activity Stream portlet still open in a new window.

Procedure

  1. Open the lcaccelerator.properties file, which is located at: <portal-profile-home>\installedApps\<node>\PA_icWEFPtlts.ear\snor.pf.portlets.war\WEB-INF\lcaccelerator\properties.
  2. Set the openExternalLinksInNewWindow property to false.
  3. Save your change and restart WebSphere® Portal.
