Generates a nice button/link to an external url or an internal post type, similar to the page_link field but allows you to override the link text.

What makes this great is reducing two ACF rows into just one (see screenshots for a clear visual walkthrough). The internal link also uses a dropdown which is populated from all your post types so the button can link to a media file or a Custom Post Type, or of course to a page or post.

Future Plans

Not much really. Probably just a couple things as the need arises:

  • Add a filter for media types since the dropdown can get kinda totally out of control.
  • Add a target field as well. This would allow for _blank and even "foobox" to be targeted.
  • Add a checkbox to enable "rel=nofollow".
