GB dynamic data for current permalink include Archive

Hi there,

The {{post_permalink}} tag doesn’t work on archive pages because it uses the get_permalink() function under the hood, which only retrieves the permalink for a single post or page. Unfortunately, this means it won’t function as expected on archive pages, and currently there’s no built-in dynamic tag available for that use case.

If the shortcode returns a full URL, it should work in the Button block’s link field.

Let us know how it goes!

Use this PHP code to generate a new dynamic tag {{archive_url}} for your button link:

add_action('init', function () {
    // Check if the GenerateBlocks dynamic tag class exists
    if (!class_exists('GenerateBlocks_Register_Dynamic_Tag')) {
        return;
    }

    // Register the dynamic tag for archive URL
    new GenerateBlocks_Register_Dynamic_Tag([
        'title'       => __('Archive Permalink', 'generateblocks'),
        'tag'         => 'archive_url',
        'type'        => 'Archive',
        'supports'    => [],
        'description' => __('Displays the archive permalink.', 'generateblocks'),
        'return'      => function () {
            $current_archive_url = get_current_archive_url();
            return $current_archive_url ? esc_url($current_archive_url) : '';
        }
    ]);
});

/**
 * Retrieves the URL of the current archive page.
 *
 * @return string The archive URL or an empty string if not on an archive page.
 */
function get_current_archive_url() {
    $queried_object = get_queried_object();
    $url = '';

    if (is_category()) {
        $url = get_category_link($queried_object->term_id);
    } elseif (is_tag()) {
        $url = get_tag_link($queried_object->term_id);
    } elseif (is_tax()) {
        $url = get_term_link($queried_object);
    } elseif (is_author()) {
        $url = get_author_posts_url($queried_object->ID);
    } elseif (is_date()) {
        if (is_year()) {
            $url = get_year_link(get_query_var('year'));
        } elseif (is_month()) {
            $url = get_month_link(get_query_var('year'), get_query_var('monthnum'));
        } elseif (is_day()) {
            $url = get_day_link(get_query_var('year'), get_query_var('monthnum'), get_query_var('day'));
        }
    } elseif (is_post_type_archive()) {
        $post_type = $queried_object && isset($queried_object->name) ? $queried_object->name : get_query_var('post_type');
        $url = get_post_type_archive_link($post_type);
    } elseif (is_home()) {
        $url = home_url('/');
    }

    // Handle pagination
    if (get_query_var('paged') > 1) {
        $url = trailingslashit($url) . 'page/' . get_query_var('paged') . '/';
    }

    return esc_url($url);
}

You are welcome   🙂
