Configure links to open Connections in same browser window

We 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.

When you configure the portlets, we can enable an option that allows users to access the full 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.

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.

1. Open the lcaccelerator.properties file, which is located at: <portal-profile-home>\installedApps\MyNode\PA_icWEFPtlts.ear\snor.pf.portlets.war\WEB-INF\lcaccelerator\properties.

2. Set the openExternalLinksInNewWindow property to false.

3. Save the change and restart WebSphere Portal.
