Tidy link structure for custom post type archives link in post footer

[GoogleCodeExporter]

The link to the custom post type archives in the post footer - 'Browse the 
MyCustomPostType archive.' is currently example.com/?post_type=mycustomposttype.

?post_type= is unnecessary if pretty permalinks are active and not ideal from 
an SEO point of view. 

Simple fix suggested in patch

(The patch doesn't address the situation where pretty permalinks are not active 
however...)

Ah... At the time there was no core function for this, WP3.1 now gives us: 
get_archive_link($type)

Thanks

Having googled get_archive_link() there also seems to be 
get_post_type_archive_link()
- Go WP :)

Hi take a look at the merge of issue 127. I have not yet checked the patch on 
127 but if either of you could offer something up it'd be awesome. I'm moving 
on multiple issues currently any help is much appreciated.

Gene - created patch using get_post_type_archive_link( $post_type ) 

Tested on WP3.3.1 / r790 

Issue 127 was mine also - not paying attn to what accnt I was logged into - 
still getting the hang of this :)

I'll take a pass at providing a wp 3.0 backwards compatible approach.

Check out r793

I've made changes to thematic post footer and thematic_postmeta_authorlink

The issue with the author link is WordPress only lists "Post" post types in 
author archives. So I took the link away from the author attribution of custom 
post types. It can be added back by adding theme support in a child theme via:
add_theme_support( 'thematic_support_post_type_author_link')

Thank you! That'll get resolved. At least I was consistent in the misspelling 
when adding it to $postfooter ;)

Can you verify that the changes function properly?
