Steps to reproduce the issue

installation of Weblinks 3.6.0-beta was quick and easy
created several web links
enabled module but; did not appear
changed Menu Assignment in module to display "on all pages" (because it defaulted to "no pages")

Expected result

module of "Web Links" appear on home page (and other pages)

Actual result

my home page is now blank; all content gone; a simple view source on the page shows no code at all

System information (as much as possible)

fresh install of Joomla 3.6.5
no other add on's installed; only Weblinks 3.6.0-beta

Additional comments

if I set the Menu Assignment in the module back to "no pages" my home page works fine again
I also tried creating a web link category and I set all links I created to that category and still does not work
bottom line: I can't get the Web Links module to display on my pages and when I try it 'blanks' the page out completely

Yes. Where can I find the latest staging? I downloaded and installed Weblinks-3.6.0-beta on 1/28/2017. Will the latest staging be newer? Thank you.

The new version (Web Links 3.6.0-rc1) works now (solves the issue above). Thank you. However, when a link is clicked it will not open in a new window even though that is what I selected in the module setting. It opens in the same window only.

@jcw30dev i can confirm this issue, the module settings are ignored. Weblinks always uses the settings from the weblink itself, which also makes more sense.

Going to remove the setting from the module.

Closing as we have a PR.

@jcw30dev thanks for testing, if you find anything else don't hesitate opening a new issue
