As I explained in my email, it's a bit of a catch 22 since you don't have the post ID before you create the post, so inserting the shortcode into the post body is probably the way to go. I'm surprised it has NOT come up more often. We'll explore other options if it becomes an issue for more people. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/link-uploaded-image-to-created-post#post-92572 Sun, 18 Nov 2012 06:44:01 +0000 Jenne 92572@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>And it works perfectly. :-)<br /> Thank you Chris for your personal dedication to my issue.Probably you could include that thig into the standard edition because i don´t think i am the only one who wants to link pics to full posts .</p> <p>Great work :-) </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/link-uploaded-image-to-created-post#post-92463 Sat, 17 Nov 2012 23:26:34 +0000 Chris Hajer 92463@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>This was more difficult than I expected it to be. I created a function and shortcode to grab the first image attachment on a post. The code for this shortcode and function can be found here: <a href="http://pastebin.com/H08pMz1P" rel="nofollow">http://pastebin.com/H08pMz1P</a></p> <p>I added that code to your theme's functions.php file (at the bottom.)</p> <p>Then I changed your content template. I removed the merge tag for the post image which is being uploaded, and replaced it with <strong>[gf_postimage]</strong> which will call this new function. The function will return the image tag and the link to the parent post. I created one test post and the functionality works. I emailed you as well. Please let us know if you have any questions. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/link-uploaded-image-to-created-post#post-90817 Tue, 13 Nov 2012 16:53:28 +0000 Chris Hajer 90817@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>Jenne, please send me an email at <a href="mailto:chris@rocketgenius.com">chris@rocketgenius.com</a> with a WordPress administrator login and I will take a look at this for you. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/link-uploaded-image-to-created-post#post-90773 Tue, 13 Nov 2012 14:31:31 +0000 Jenne 90773@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>Sorry but that is not what i would call support -.- </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/link-uploaded-image-to-created-post#post-89113 Fri, 09 Nov 2012 04:47:50 +0000 Jenne 89113@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>Is it really that hard to link that [*******] image to the post created? As far as i can judge this the postid isn´t known when the above solution is processed so i guess i have to use tghat post-processing i read about. but i have exactly no idea what hooks etc i have to use to get this working. I can´t be the only one who uses images that should be linked to the full post? </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/link-uploaded-image-to-created-post#post-87608 Mon, 05 Nov 2012 13:45:41 +0000 Jenne 87608@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>Bump again :-/ </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/link-uploaded-image-to-created-post#post-86643 Fri, 02 Nov 2012 11:01:01 +0000 Jenne 86643@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>Bump for a solution... </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/link-uploaded-image-to-created-post#post-83864 Fri, 26 Oct 2012 02:09:27 +0000 Jenne 83864@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>Hey Chris, thanks for your reply.<br /> But that did not work. It looks like it ignored the post_id.</p> <p>When the template looks like:<br /> <code>&lt;center&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;{post_id}&quot;&gt;{Bild:3:large}&lt;/a&gt;&lt;center&gt;</code></p> <p>The generated posthtml is:</p> <p><code>&lt;a href=&quot;&quot;&gt; &lt;img ....</code></p> <p>found a hint at another forum to add p= in front of post_id<br /> <code>&lt;center&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;p={post_id}&quot;&gt;{Bild:3:large}&lt;/a&gt;&lt;center&gt;</code><br /> but it leads to this html:</p> <p><code>&lt;a href=&quot;p=&quot;&gt;&lt;img ....</code></p> <p>any other idea about that? </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/link-uploaded-image-to-created-post#post-83719 Thu, 25 Oct 2012 13:27:34 +0000 Chris Hajer 83719@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>Sorry for the delay. This one fell through the cracks.</p> <p>You don't want the entry URL but the post URL or post ID. You can always use the Page or Post ID in your link: it will be converted by WordPress. For example, try this link:</p> <p><a href="http://gravity.chrishajer.com/?page_id=913" rel="nofollow">http://gravity.chrishajer.com/?page_id=913</a></p> <p>It will be rewritten and the pretty permalink will be shown in the address bar.</p> <p>Try it like this:<br /> <pre><code>[php] &lt;center&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;{post_id}&quot;&gt;{Bild:3:large}&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/center&gt; &lt;!--more--&gt;</code></pre> <p>You want to send people to the post they just created, not the admin entry screen. </p>
