The Jadu Document Editor removes target attributes during it's cleanup routine on save. There are times however, when you may want to open specific links in a new window. One work-around is to use JavaScript to add the attribute to links with a specific className.
[UPDATE {April 24,2015} : Kris Hardy, with the Messiah College web team, released a video today showing how to use the Social Media Supplement on your site here]
I found it difficult to find help for building supplements, so when I was asked by our web team to build one for them, I decided to turn it into a tutorial and documentation. I've learned many things along the way - and here is that journey.
This tutorial will help you build the Social Media Icon Supplement - which looks like this (fully loaded)
You can download and install the Plug-N-Play Supplement from github.
We've noticed a few things in the document editor that don't work very well for us, most notably the pasting of content from other documents or web pages gets rather ugly. We've used the "paste into notepad, recopy, paste into document editor" approach, but even that isn't fool proof and it's getting frustrating for our content folks.
I was curious if anyone has tried to require certain fields in secure.php? I can include javascript to do it I guess, but seems like that may be a good idea to implement somehow.
Funny this just came up, after two years with Jadu, someone finally decided to not fill in THE most important field, and they couldn't figure out why the widget wouldn't render properly. Go figure.
Any ideas?

Had an interesting scenario in my development of widgets. I needed to be able to load up a lightbox (or really any javascript library) for a particular widget, in this case, a lightbox style image gallery.
Eventually, you're going to have to integrate something into your site, whether that is an interactive form, a full on custom PHP application, some neat full page function that won't fit into a widget. I'm going to outline how I accomplished that ability here at Messiah College.
