Function for Linking to the original source

  • I think I have a simple question…
    I don’t want images included in the feed excerpt but I want to add the featured image to posts in my search-results-page. So I disabled all images in rssmi settings and added the featured image to the posts using a different plugin. Then I added this code to my search-results-page template.

    <?php if ( has_post_thumbnail() ) : ?>
								<a href="<?php the_permalink(); ?>" title="<?php the_title_attribute(); ?>">
								<?php the_post_thumbnail(); ?>
								</a>
								<?php endif; ?>

    It adds the thumbnail of my featured image but “the_permalink” is the wrong link. That links back to the post on my site. I want it to link back to the original source/webpage.

    Can anyone give me the correct code to replace “the_permalink”.

    I would love to have a list of all the functions needed to pull in different meta-data from rssmi into my search-results-page as well, although I’ve figured out most of them.

    Thanks!
    Chris

    I’m looking to do the same thing, were you able to figure out the edit or what to replace “the_permalink” with?

    Hey guys,

    I never figured out the correct function. What I did was changed the rssmi image settings. Instead of using the featured image of the post, I set up a “category” relationship in rssmi and then associated an image to each category in rssmi. I had about 200 feeds so it took some time but it works fine. My image is now linked to the original source. I disabled the title link so it’s not clickable. I did this because I don’t want people opening the post when they click anything on my “Search results” page. Warning – if you use rssmi to add a featured image, it adds a duplicate image to your media library. If you add the image to the excerpt, it does not. Hope this helps.
