Article permalink in the backend?
I need a way to let my authors find every article’s permalink, in a really easy way. How do I go about that?
They’re not very experienced users, and they could use some help finding the URL, when they need to link to a specific article. If there’s a way of getting the permalink URL shown, ie. in the write tab, it would be awesome. Is there a plugin for this, maybe (I can’t find any)?
Thanks in advance, boys ‘n’ gals. :-)

Once the article has been saved, a “view” link should appear to the right of the title, which links to the article on the frontend. Using right-click and “copy link address” in your browser, you can copy the link to the clipboard.

Yes, but I am looking for something more fool proof and intuitive. Is this really the only way?
For example, on YouTube you have these form fields, with the URL for embedding or linking to a video. That would be easy enough for these guys to comprehend.

How about Robert’s wet_quicklink ?

Or you could hack zem_article_info. It outputs a word count and a permlink to the article itself but you could change the permlink so it just displayed the full URL instead. e.g. change line 28 from:
$line = "<small>$wcount words $extra | <a href=\"$plink\">permlink</a></small>";to:
$line = "<small>$wcount words $extra | $plink</small>";You could put it in an HTML input box if you prefer.
