   HI
   My website is http://www.bestgolfswingtips.co.uk/

   For each post on the Home page I have a button linking to the full post (labelled 'Read The Review')

   I need to put another button next to the 'Read The Review' button that will link to the corresponding website ... I have put the url in a custom field named 'linker'

   The code needs to used in a table environment ie <td> </td>

   I have tried adding this code to the functions.php:

   function url_address($key) {
       global $post;
       $custom_field = get_post_meta($post->ID, $key, true);
   
       if($custom_field) { //if the user set a custom field
           echo '<a href="'.$custom_field.'" />';
       }
       else { //else, return
           return;
       }
   }

   And in the duplicated SRR template I added this code within the <td> </td> tags:

   <?php url_address('linker'); ?>

   I also tried this code:

   get_post_meta($post_id, 'linker' $single);

   Neither of these codes will parse

   Have I got the syntax wrong or am I going about it the wrong way?

   Any help will be very much appreciated

   Thanks
