Excerpt Issue - linkage WordPress

evolve design comments:

Thanks Erez for the reply, excuse my ignorance, but how do I print the $post->ID ?

Erez S comments:

/** Add More button to listing **/

function excerpt_read_more_link($output) {

global $post;

return $output . '<a href="'. get_permalink($post->ID) . '"> <img src="http://www.thehelix.ie/web2011/wp-content/themes/EvolveHelix/image/theme/button_more.png" alt="More"></a>';

}

add_filter('the_excerpt', 'excerpt_read_more_link');



/** Add Book Now button to listing **/

function excerpt_booking_link($output) {

global $post;

return $output . $post->ID . '<a href="'. get_post_meta($post->ID, 'Booking', true) . '"> <img src="http://www.thehelix.ie/web2011/wp-content/themes/EvolveHelix/image/theme/booknow.png" alt="Book Now!"></a>';

}

add_filter('the_excerpt', 'excerpt_booking_link');

Put this code and the ID should be shown near the button.

Yes, I placed the code in the excerpt and it returns blank:

function excerpt_read_more_link($output) {
global $post;
return $output . ‘‘;
}
add_filter(‘the_excerpt’, ‘excerpt_read_more_link’);

/** Add Book Now button to listing **/
function excerpt_booking_link($output) {
global $post;
return $output . $post->ID . ‘‘;
}

add_filter(‘the_excerpt’, ‘excerpt_booking_link’);

Erez S comments:

Try this:
function excerpt_booking_link($output) {
global $post;
print_r($post);
return $output . $post->ID . ‘‘;
}
add_filter(‘the_excerpt’, ‘excerpt_booking_link’);

And let me see the result

Erez S comments:

You didn't wrote that right, you forgot to write the PHP open tag <?php

Erez S comments:

Anyway also if you can send me the code of the template page and I'll try to fix this

Hi Denzel, Thanks for the reply. Yes the page is working from a page template.

Do I just place the same code in the loop.php file and remove it from the functions.php.

Sorry not a great php writer.

Thanks
evolve

Hi,

You can try adding the below code within your template WordPress Loop,
somewhere near the_excerpt(), the codes are modified from what you posted.

Please remove the codes from your functions.php



global $post;

echo '<a href="'. get_permalink($post->ID) . '"> <img src="http://www.thehelix.ie/web2011/wp-content/themes/EvolveHelix/image/theme/button_more.png" alt="More"></a>';

echo '<a href="'. get_post_meta($post->ID, 'Booking', true) . '"> <img src="http://www.thehelix.ie/web2011/wp-content/themes/EvolveHelix/image/theme/booknow.png" alt="Book Now!"></a>';



If the codes does not work, please post your whole template code here. So that we can see where to add in the codes.
I am answering "blindly" now.

Thanks.
Denzel
