Muti Wordpress 2.5 Plugin

After some discussion via mail I created my first Wordpress plugin this afternoon. It's very simple and will add a little "Muti This" button to the bottom of your posts.

<?php
/*
Plugin Name: Muti
Plugin URI: http://muti.co.za
Description: Adds a muti button at the bottom of each post.
Author: Charl van Niekerk
Version: 1.0
Author URI: http://charlvn.za.net
*/
function muti($c) {
  return $c . '<p><a href="http://muti.co.za/submit?url=' . urlencode(get_permalink()) . '&amp;title=' . urlencode(the_title('', '', false)) . '"><img src="' . get_option('siteurl') . '/wp-content/plugins/muti/muti.gif" alt="Muti This" title="Muti This" /></a></p>';
}
add_action('the_content', 'muti');

To install it get muti.zip and put the muti directory inside of your wp-content/plugins directory. Then just open your Wordpress admin back-end and enable the plugin as usual.

This has been created for and tested on Wordpress 2.5; it may or may not work on older versions.

Please let me know what you think and if you have any suggestions for improvements!

Nice Charl,

One thing worth considering is whether you want the muti link on all pages or just single (ie view) pages. You could just add a condition something like:

if(Is_Single()) {
show content and muti button }
else {
just show content }

Then the muti link will only appear on single pages and not the front page.

Cheers
