Hi

As an alternative to my other buttons question,i would like to put two buttons like this in one of the hooks. The buttons will be a “Read More” and “Visit Site” with both preferably fetching their url from custom post metafields. How would i go about it? Thanks

Ok i realized i asked you a similar question before and this is how far i have come now
```
//Kundcase show links instead of content
add_action( 'wpsp_before_content','wpsp_add_custom_meta' );
function wpsp_add_custom_meta()
{
    $meta = get_post_meta( get_the_ID(), 'kundcase_site_url', true );

    if ( isset( $meta ) && '' !== $meta )
        echo '<a class="button" href="'.$meta.'">Besök sidan</a>';
}
```
How can i fetch and show post permalink beside this link?

Well i think this one is solved, please take a look if you can and let me know if there is a simpler or better way to do it
```
//Wpsp show meta instead of content
add_action( 'wpsp_before_content','wpsp_add_custom_meta' );
function wpsp_add_custom_meta()
{
    $meta = get_post_meta( get_the_ID(), 'kundcase_site_url', true );

    if ( isset( $meta ) && '' !== $meta )
        echo '<a class="button" href="'.$meta.'">Besök sidan</a>';

    echo '<a class="button alignright" href="'.get_permalink( $id ).'">Läs Mer</a>';
}
```

That’s perfect – exactly how I would do it.

The other question will require me to make some changes to the core plugin I think. Battling a cold right now, but will get to it ASAP 🙂
