Open Links in the Info Panel Externally in Safari

[theBrandonWu]

I wanted to add a link in the info panel where readers can go to our website in Safari instead of inside the view which has limited space. I found the issue in the previous repository Simbul/baker/issues/1183 but there wasn't an answer. Adding the following code to ShelfViewController.m seems to do the trick — this forces all links in the info panel to open externally in Safari though regardless of the Referrer, unlike in the magazine issues.

-(BOOL) webView:(UIWebView *)inWeb shouldStartLoadWithRequest:(NSURLRequest *)inRequest navigationType:(UIWebViewNavigationType)inType {
    if ( inType == UIWebViewNavigationTypeLinkClicked ) {
        [[UIApplication sharedApplication] openURL:[inRequest URL]];
        return NO;
    }
return YES;
}

Do you have any idea on how to open in modal view, just like respecting the referrer=baker?

I think that code would have to be added, for the info panel. I don’t have the code in front of me to verify

I was looking through the code and I think will have to get the link handle part present in the BakerViewController and replicate in ShelfViewController. I will make some experiments....and see what happens.

The code added to ShelfViewController.m works perfectly.
But I would like that the links open into the app full screen (closing the box info) and with a button to close the linked page and return to the library
