Dear support team,
Is there a way to make the "permalink" of a post visible in the frontend (so the users can see and copy it)?
Thank you and best wishes,
Manuela
Hi there,

Thanks for the explanation. As I mentioned before, there are no available options to do this. You'll need to do some customization on the theme file.

I am assuming you're familiar with PHP, create a template override for this file and place the following codes to display the permalink.
/components/com_easyblog/themes/wireframe/blogs/entry/default.posts.php


<a href="<?php echo $post->getPermalink(); ?>"><?php echo $post->getPermalink(); ?></a>

You may refer to this documentation for guide.

Hope this helps.
Thanks.

By the way, I don't really understand why do you need to display this? The blog's permalink will always be available on the url bar. You can just simply copy the url on the url bar to get the blog's permalink.

Thanks.

Thank you for your answer. I am aware that this is the same as the URL. Due to our policy (Open Science Policy), we technically ensure the permanence of links and want to make the users aware by displaying a "permalink" button.
