Get URL of Post You Are Editing

Question

I can't seem to find this anywhere, Is there a way to retrieve the URL of the post (which is of a custom post type) you are editing. Basically I want to somehow get the same URL that shows up like this: Permalink: (link to post) on the edit screen.

Answer 1

You should have the $post variable (you may need global $post;) from which you can get the post ID ($post->ID). Then $perm = get_permalink( $post->ID ); should give you what you want.
