wordpress question: calling in the_permalink in post content?

Say I want a link within my content to link to

Code:

<?php the_permalink() ?>

before i know what my actual permalink is, say for template use. What is the proper way to link to the_permalink in my template? i tried a simple

Code:

<a href="<?php the_permalink() ?>">

sort of thing, but it doesn't really work. Any tips?

dont know why you want too, but you could create a shortcode to do it, or via a plugin.

I am working on a script which automates my content creation for certain projects. All the post data is written into an XML file for importing into wordpress after it's creation. In my post template I would like to link an image from the excerpt into the single.php version of the_content. If you follow?

heres a few others to look at

or some code to do it via your functions.php file

Code:

function print_link($atts, $content = null) {

        global $post;

        $permalink = get_permalink($post->ID);

        return '<a href="'.$permalink.'">'.$content.'</a>';

}



add_shortcode('mypermalink','print_link');

then you would do

Code:

[mypermalink]title you want[/mypermalink]

I just tried this one, and it works very well aside from the fact that the shortcodes do not function within "the_excerpt" and only work in "the_content". I'll look through the other couple options you've listed. Thanks Fris...

you could probably modify it to work with excerpt as well, probably just 1 line of code to add the filter for excerpt as well as the_content

Yup, added the following to my functions.php and the shortcodes now execute fine in the_excerpt with the Template Tag Shortcuts plugin...

Code:

add_filter('the_excerpt', 'do_shortcode');

from one headache to the next. now i'm having trouble gettign the_excerpt to import from my XML file. The post imports fine, but the excerpt is left hanging :( Don't suppose you got much experience with creating XMLs for import do ya fris?
