Hi all.
I have this code in my wordpress blog
$action='permalink';
Basically I want to know if I can change it to something like
$action="
www.mysite.com/newpage.html";
I have tried this but it doesnt work.
What I would like to happen is, when the user clicks I dont want them directed to the permalink, but I want them directed to a website instead.
Thanks in advance, Adam

Hi,
What other information would your require?
The PHP page which I would like to change looks like this:
Code: Select all
<?php
/**
* This file generates the portfolio items HTML.
*/
//display the category filter if enabled
if($show_cat=='true'){
echo('<div id="portfolio-categories">');
$cats=pexeto_get_taxonomy_children('portfolio_category', $cat_id);
echo '<h6>'.get_opt('_showme_text').'</h6>';
echo '<ul><li>'.get_opt('_all_text').'</li>';
for($i=0; $i<count($cats); $i++){
echo('<li id="'.$cats[$i]->term_id.'" class="category">'.$cats[$i]->name.'</li>');
}
echo('</ul></div>');
}
echo '<div class="loading"></div><div class="items">';
//set the query_posts args
$args= array(
'posts_per_page' =>-1,
'post_type' => 'portfolio'
);
if($cat_id!='-1'){
$slug=pexeto_get_taxonomy_slug($cat_id);
$args['portfolio_category']=$slug;
}
//set the order arguments
if($order=='custom'){
$args['orderby']='rand';
$args['order']='asc';
}else{
$args['orderby']='rand';
$args['order']='desc';
}
query_posts($args);
$html='';
$imgWidth=$pexetoImageSizes[$column_number]['width'];
$imgHeight=$pexetoImageSizes[$column_number]['height'];
if(have_posts()) {
while (have_posts()) {
the_post();
$permalink=get_permalink();
if($title_link=='on'){
$title='<a href="'.$permalink.'">'.get_the_title().'</a>';
}else{
$title=get_the_title();
}
$description=get_post_meta($post->ID, 'description_value', true);
$descHtml=$show_desc=='true'?'<div class="item-desc" style="width:'.$imgWidth.'px;"><h4>'.$title.'</h4><hr/><p>'.$description.'</p></div>':'';
//insert the description in the lightbox if descriptions are disabled
$lightHtml=$show_desc=='true'?'':$description;
$preview=get_post_meta($post->ID, 'preview_value', true);
$thumbnail=get_post_meta($post->ID, 'thumbnail_value', true);
if($auto_thumbnail=='on'){
$thumbnail=pexeto_get_resized_image($preview, $imgWidth, $imgHeight);
}
$action='permalink'; **************THIS IS THE LINE I THINK NEEDS CHANGING******************
$customlink=get_post_meta($post->ID, 'custom_value', true);
//set the link of the image depending on the action selected
if($action=='nothing'){
$openLink='';
$closeLink='';
}else if($action=='permalink'){
$openLink='<a href="'.$permalink.'">';
$closeLink='</a>';
}else if($action=='custom'){
$openLink='<a href="'.$customlink.'" target="_blank">';
$closeLink='</a>';
}else{
$preview=$action=='video'?$customlink:$preview;
$openLink='<a rel="lightbox[group]" class="single_image" href="'.$preview.'" title="'.$lightHtml.'">';
$closeLink='</a>';
}
//get the category IDs to which the items belong and generate a string
//containing them, separated by commas, for example: 1,2,3
$terms=wp_get_post_terms($post->ID, 'portfolio_category');
$term_string='';
foreach($terms as $term){
$term_string.=($term->term_id).',';
}
$term_string=substr($term_string, 0, strlen($term_string)-1);
//generate the final item HTML
$html.= '<div class="portfolio-item" title="'.$term_string.'">'.$openLink.'<img src="'.$thumbnail.'" class="img-frame" width="'.$imgWidth.'" height="'.$imgHeight.'"/>'.$closeLink.$descHtml.'</div>';
}
}
echo $html;
echo '</div>';
Basically at the moment, when someone clicks on a item in the gallery they are taken to the permalink of that post.. but I would like them all to be taken to a URL instead but I cant figure out the syntax of what the $action= should be to do this?
Thanks, Adam

Ideally, you would provide enough details that someone could reproduce your problem. Helpful details would be WordPress version and what theme and relevant plugins are installed.

If you mean a URL of the same domain, you could leave $action = 'permalink' and change the
permalink settings through the WordPress Dashboard. That affects every permalink across the site, so it might not be a good idea.
A better idea might be to set $action = 'custom' and add
custom fields named "custom_value". Notice that the line after the $action assignment reads the custom field with
get_post_meta() and later uses $customlink to build the link.
