Need third buy button to open on same page

Hi Kari

If you plan to modify the plugin, you could change the genesis_author_pro_get_buttons function to look like this:

function genesis_author_pro_get_buttons( $post_id = '' ) {

	$buttons = array( 'button_1', 'button_2', 'button_3' );
	$values  = array();

	foreach( $buttons as $button ){

		$uri    = genesis_author_pro_get_book_meta( $button . '_uri' , $post_id );
		$text   = genesis_author_pro_get_book_meta( $button . '_text', $post_id );
		$target = ( $button === 'button_3' ) ? '' : 'target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"';

		if ( empty( $uri ) || empty( $text ) ) {
			continue;
		}

		$values[] = sprintf( '<a href="%1$s" class="button button-book" %2$s>%3$s</a>', $uri, $target, $text );

	}

	return empty( $values ) ? false : implode( '', $values );

}

Note that this change will be overwritten during plugin updates, though.

You could alternatively add a script to remove the target attribute on the third button at Appearance → Customize → Theme Settings → Header/Footer Scripts → Footer Scripts:

<script>
var thirdButton = document.querySelectorAll(".single-books .book-details .button-book:nth-of-type(3)");
if (thirdButton.length > 0) {
	thirdButton[0].removeAttribute("target");
}
</script>

This won’t work if JavaScript is disabled, but it also won’t be removed after plugin updates.

I hope that helps as a starting point. If you need further help with this or other StudioPress theme and plugin customisations, I recommend the community resources here: https://my.studiopress.com/community/.

Hi Nick,

Thank you for the quick response!

I would prefer the first version, especially since the plugin isn’t updated terribly often. ?? Unfortunately when I modified the file, I ended up with a parse error on the site. Just in case I have a strange version, I’ll copy the original text from my site below.

Have a great weekend!

function genesis_author_pro_get_buttons( $post_id = ” ) {

$buttons = array( ‘button_1’, ‘button_2’, ‘button_3’ );
$values = array();

foreach( $buttons as $button ){

$uri = genesis_author_pro_get_book_meta( $button . ‘_uri’ , $post_id );
$text = genesis_author_pro_get_book_meta( $button . ‘_text’, $post_id );

if( empty( $uri ) || empty( $text ) ){
continue;
}

$values[] = sprintf( ‘%s‘, $uri, $text );

}

return empty( $values ) ? false : implode( ”, $values );

}

Hi again!

Never mind, I caught the problem. That worked like a charm the second time.

Thank you SO much!
Kari
