Get permalink

  • I’d like to use a shortcode in my page editor to insert the permalink into a link but I can’t get it to work and or is buggy.

    add_shortcode( 'yo_permalink', 'yo_permalink' );
function yo_permalink($atts, $content) {
   return get_the_permalink();
}

    and on my page editor I add
    <a href="[yo_permalink]" data-product_id="38"> add to cart </a>

    This creates a hyperlink but with the following address e.g. https://example.com/page/[yo_permailnk]

    If I remove data-product_id="38" from the above it works.

  • link for get_permalink. Why do you need to put it into a function

    https://developer.www.ads-software.com/reference/functions/get_permalink/

    Hi @yoebo,

    Please use this as a trial example.

    
// Custom link shortcode function with attribute and variable inputs.
function custom_link_shortcode( $atts ) {
    extract( shortcode_atts( array(
        'c_link' => get_permalink(),
        'data_product_id' => '0',
        'target' => '_blank',
        'link_text' => 'this is a link',
    ), $atts, 'customlink' ) );
  
    return '<a href="'.esc_url( $c_link ).'" data-product_id="'.$data_product_id.'" target="'.$target.'">'.esc_html($link_text).'</a>';
}
add_shortcode( 'custom_link', 'custom_link_shortcode' );

/* Example Usage

[custom_link]
[custom_link data_product_id="5" link_text="link with default url and product ID of 5"]
[custom_link c_link="https://m.marklchaves.com" data_product_id="3" target="_self" link_text="check out my page on Amp!"]

*/

    P.s. I’ve tested this on my site WP 5.2.4 PHP 7.1.30.

    @mrtom414 Because PHP doesn’t parse when added into page text editor.
