View post button

Actually I seem to have sorted it.

Add an action hook in the form (in this case called “view_post_button”) and put the following into functions.php. The button will only appear in an edit post screen, not in a new post (makes sense).

/*-- View Listing button in add/edit listing ---*/
function render_post_button(){
	$listingid=$_GET['pid']; 
	if ($listingid != '' ) {
		$url = site_url() . '/?p=' . $listingid;
		echo '<div style="float:right;"><a title="View this listing in a new tab" class="button" href="' . $url . '" target="_blank">View Listing</a></div>';
	}
}
add_action( 'view_post_button','render_post_button' );

Hello Rob,

Did you tried your own, then what was the result?

I tried in my theme’s functions.php but no button appear in post edit form.

The trick is in the words “Add an action hook in the form (in this case called “view_post_button”)”.

In your form, add a field called “action hook” and put “view_post_button” in both fields. Update etc. Then you can style the button using the class “button”

I can’t show you mine because it’s on a protected page.

That’s it. Hope this helps
