Adding a Flattr link to the post footer / strange behaviour with links

Hi,

this is in my "FOOTER: Single Post Pages"

Code:

%comments('Kommentieren', '1 Kommentar', '% Kommentare', 'Comments are closed')% | %share-this% | %date('j. F Y')% <a href="">.</a>

I put the last href there as a test. The output is fine except that the '.' with the href links to the post (probably the_permalink?)

I am having trouble adding a (compact) Flattr link to my post footers. I installed the official plugin and tried the shortcode first. None of these did work

Code:

[flattr url="<?php the_permalink(); ?>" type="compact"]

Result: Front-end displays

Code:

" type="compact"]

While this (static link)

Code:

[flattr url="http://www.mywebsite.com" type="compact"]

results in nothing, no button, nada.

So maybe shortcode does not work in the Atahualpa custom fields. Makes sense.

But this, the plugin's own PHP-code does not work either:

Code:

<?php the_flattr_permalink() ?>

Neither does this

<a href="<?php the_flattr_permalink() ?>">Link</a>

The main problem being here that the permalink gets added (why?) so the resulting link is somehting like this

http://www.mywebsite.com/postpermalink/<?php the_flattr_permalink() ?>

My guess is that the problem lies in the fact that all links in these Atahualpa lines somehow get the permalink added for whatever reason. Even this, the official code

Code:

<a href="<?php the_permalink(); ?>">permalink</a>

results in this

Code:

http://www.mywebsite.com/postpermalink/<?php the_permalink(); ?>

That does not make sense. To me.

What do you think?
