Great plugin!
Thanks a lot for this saved me a lot of time when moving a lot of content from a dev server to production

Is there an easy way to link to an anchor on a page with one of these permalink short tags? Something like [permalink href="6"#news] ?

pretty useful at the beginning, but later we get so used to it that we can type the entire “code” without any effort lol

I’ve never written a plugin before, or even looked at the source. Looking at yours, I see it’s not that hard. I was going to ask for a feature, but I figured out how to add it myself. Maybe you can add it to yours.

I wanted the ability to specify a target (like _blank) to open up the link in another tab/window. Most of the links on my website do that, so the post doesn’t go away. So I added “‘target’ => false,” to the extract call and “if($target) $link .= ‘ target=”‘ . $target . ‘”‘;” after the title handling.

I had thoughts of being clevererer and trying to find a way to handle arbitrary attributes to add to the href link, but it’s 2:30am, and I have a cubicle to bang my head against tomorrow morning.

Works like a charm and I just upgraded to WordPress 2.8
I have a disease page and in the list of differential diagnosis, I have diseases that looks similar to the disease in the current page. I am now linking to the pages of those diseases using your plug-in.

For those who don’t know how to get the Page ID. Just go to pages under your Admin panel. Hover your cursor on the name of the page and in the status bar you will see your blog url plus some code at the end.
Ex:
/wp-admin/page.php?action=edit&post=713

so here the Page ID is 713. Hope that help some folks out there.
Brilliant!

Thanks, I too believe that this should be a fundamental feature of wordpress. I appreciate you taking the time to help those of us who only know a few html tags, but need the features. I downloaded and installed as per your instructions easily, and added the following to the HTML page: [permalink href="100"]Name of Post[/permalink] link, where 100 is the post number. It all worked a treat and I recommend others try it too.

What I would like, and surprisingly have never found, is a javascript type popup link in admin that would list all my posts and pages with their respective ids and allow me to insert them into the post with the click of a mouse. That way I wouldn’t have to go hunt down the page id# to then insert it into my posts. I like to link between posts a lot and haven’t found a quick easy way to list my posts. I guess I’ll get used to it though
