permalink shortcode bug

[localpulse]

I need a permalink shortcode to use in a Genesis theme for the Post Meta region of WordPress post. The shortcode is needed because I’m adding a filter to the genesis_post_meta function. Anyway when I put this code into the functions.php file:

function permalink_function($atts) {
extract(shortcode_atts(array(
'id' => the_ID(),
'text' => "Buy" // default value if none supplied
), $atts));

if ($text) {
$url = get_permalink($id);
return "$text";
} else {
return get_permalink($id);
}
}
add_shortcode('permalink', 'permalink_function');

/** Customize the post meta function */
add_filter( 'genesis_post_meta', 'post_meta_filter' );
function post_meta_filter($post_meta) {
if (!is_page()) {
$post_meta = '[permalink] [post_tags]';
return $post_meta;
}}


I get this:

Again, this is mostly the code from digwp.com yet I’m getting the post ID above the link anchor text. Any help is appreciated!

I finally got it working. The probelms was with this line:
get_permalink($id)

get_permalink() gets the current ID by default. Also the ‘id’ offset (PHP array element) should be initialized to 1, as per the tutorial.
