wordpress tip: link (plug) an external site - GoFuckYourself.com

Sometimes people pay for advertising and want a direct link the site in question, or maybe you just want to link to another site without viewing a post.

I found this cool snippet via http://www.istudioweb.com/hacking-wo...le-2008-01-12/

I edited mine a bit, bascially you add a custom field plug and put the url you want it to goto, if no custom field is set it will be a regular post.

Code:

function plugit() {
        global $post;
        $post_id = get_post($post->ID);
        $title = $post_id->post_title;
        $perm  = get_permalink($post_id);
        $plug = get_post_custom_values('plug');
        if (empty($plug)) {
                $link = $perm;
        }
        else {
                $link = $plug[0];
        }
        echo '<a href="'.$link.'" rel="bookmark" title="'.$title.'">';
}

Heres a site of mine I have it in use.

Hey Fris - would you have time to discuss a wordpress idea I had? perhaps you might know a non "hacked" up way to do some advanced layout & ordering stuff.
