Hi Rashad,

Thank you for the link, but it seems like this plugin allow customization of the permalink which is still an internal url and I need to get the title to link to an external url. I am open to any other solution you may have as well :)

Rashad Aliyev comments:

Very Easy solution:

Find your <strong><?php the_title(); ?></strong> at your single.php , page.php or etc. and replace with like this code.

Then make an Custom Field that name in my example: <strong>external-link</strong>




<?php if( get_post_meta($post->ID, "external-link", true) ): ?>
<a href="<?php echo get_post_meta($post->ID, 'external-link', true); ?>">
<?php else: ?>
<a href="<?php the_permalink() ?>">
<?php endif; ?>
<?php the_title(); ?></a>




That's all! 100% will worked;)

If you've any problem with your integration you can get special support. I'm available.

best regards,

@Agent Wordpress you searched something and told your solutions with some functions. But I made it myself and send it. That's my solutions and also I've enough experiences for making simple things..

@Theresa C; I hope you'll choose which is easy for you.

best regards..

Hi Rashad,

I looked into the single.php and this is the code
<?php

// calling the header.php
get_header();

// action hook for placing content above #container
thematic_abovecontainer();

?>

<div id="container">
<div id="content">

<?php

the_post();

// create the navigation above the content
thematic_navigation_above();

// calling the widget area 'single-top'
get_sidebar('single-top');

// action hook creating the single post
thematic_singlepost();

// calling the widget area 'single-insert'
get_sidebar('single-insert');

// create the navigation below the content
thematic_navigation_below();

// calling the comments template
thematic_comments_template();

// calling the widget area 'single-bottom'
get_sidebar('single-bottom');

?>

</div><!-- #content -->
</div><!-- #container -->

<?php

// action hook for placing content below #container
thematic_belowcontainer();

// calling the standard sidebar
thematic_sidebar();

// calling footer.php
get_footer();

?>


However, I did find similar to the post title you said to replace in the Thematic Function php file, which looks like this http://wordpress.pastebin.com/3q2HReb6

There's also a separate theme function php file that looks like this http://wordpress.pastebin.com/SJmqZ1Lf

Please let me know where it is appropriate to paste the code?

Many thanks,
Theresa

Hello again,

I made some changes on your functions.

(Which I get from this URL: http://wordpress.pastebin.com/3q2HReb6 )


Change it with your Thematic functions file.

P.S: Don't forget backup your current file and be sure that you're changing it with this one: http://wordpress.pastebin.com/3q2HReb6 .

Check it again and tell me what happened.. ;)


Best regards,
