Link to source within post?

    Hi, love the simplicity of this plugin, great work! One thing I’m missing though is the option to link to the source somewhere within the post.
    What I want to do is to add a paragraph at the end of each post with some text and a link to the source.

    Would it be possible to get it with PHP through the footer option? I’d be happy to edit the code but I would need to know what function to edit?

    Sure, that can be easily done w/o PHP. Just put something like that into the “Post Footer” field:

    <p>Blah-blah-blah. <a href="####post_link####">More...</a></p>

    Leave the “####post_link####” part “AS IS”. It will be automatically replaced with the proper link to source.

    It doesn’t get translated to the source url for me.
    Source: <a href="####post_link####">Link</a> gets translated to “http://mysite.com/####post_link####&#8221;.

    I do this in a template file, not from admin backend. Link to source = disabled. I use CyberSyn 4.0.2.

    Also I can’t use cyberseo_post_link custom/meta field to get the source URL either, because that is for some reasons only set for a few feeds, most feeds have this field just empty.

    Nevermind, the solution is to use get_the_guid().

    @andrelevy: just echo it within the loop.
