Is it possible within the shortcode to define the text that will appear in place of the links (ie Visit our website) instead of having to define a link title for each entry?
Currently if I replace in the link format the element %title% with text, the new text is displayed but I loose the link.

I just want to add that I found a temporary solution to do this using CSS and that I could change your file class.entry-output.php to achieve this in PHP but I rather have a clean solution if one exist.
You can see it there

You could use the cn_output_link hook to change the output for a link too, like so (untested):

add_filter( 'cn_output_link', 'Claude_cn_output_link', 10, 4 );

function Claude_cn_output_link( $html, $link, $entry, $atts) {

    $targetOptions = array( 'new' => '_blank', 'same' => '_self' );

    $url    = cnSanitize::field( 'url', $link->url );
    $target = array_key_exists( $link->target, $targetOptions ) ? $targetOptions[ $link->target ] : '_self';
    $follow = $link->follow ? '' : 'rel="nofollow"';

    $html = '<span class="liens_en" style="font-weight:700"><a class="url" href="' . $url .  '" ' . $target . ' ' . $follow . '>Visit us on the web !</a></span>';

    return $html;
}

Hope that helps!

Except for a missing semicolon this is exactly what I was looking for. Thank you so much once more and have a great weekend!

In case it can help someone, since I have a multilingual website using wpml and that I use WPML Shortcodes here is the final code to make this work with 2 languages:

add_filter( 'cn_output_link', 'th_cn_output_link', 10, 4 );

function th_cn_output_link( $html, $link, $entry, $atts) {

    $url    = cnSanitize::field( 'url', $link->url );
    $th_langue = wpml_e__if_language( 'Visit us on the web !', 'en' ); wpml_e__if_language( 'Visitez-nous sur le web !', 'fr' );

    $html = '<a class="url" href="' . $url .  '" target="_blank">' . $th_langue . '</a>';

    return $html;
}

@ Claude

Great to hear the code was what you were looking for! I fixed the missing semi-colon and the code block in your replies.

[Claude Dagenais]

the $html line is missing a part of the code in my post so I’ve attached the file FYI

Last update since the problem is solved for good. I had to make a small change to the code because of my own stupidity. I’ve attached it if it can help someone.
