Using shortcodes within the loop

  • Trying to get a button from this plugin working inside the WP loop for post type. 

    if ( shortcode_exists( 'bs_button' ) ) {

 				echo do_shortcode('[bs_button size="lg" type="default" value="Read More" href=""]');

			} else {
				// fail silently
			}

    This is working well, but how do we get the permalink into that href variable? I’ve tried

    echo do_shortcode('[bs_button size="lg" type="default" value="Read More" href="get_permalink();"]');

    echo do_shortcode('[bs_button size="lg" type="default" value="Read More" href=" '. get_permalink() .' "]');

    But I feel this is the wrong approach. Could it work, or is there another way to make this work?

    The following works for me:

    echo do_shortcode('[bs_button size="lg" type="default" value="Read More" href="'. get_permalink() .'"]');
