Plugin Description

Notice: I’ve have since stopped development of this plugin as I feel that the state of URL Shortening services seems to have converged and there isn’t much more progress I have in the pipeline for this plugin.

URL Shortener allows you to generate shortlinks for post/pages using URL Shorteners (e.g. Bit.ly, Su.pr and many others), with a few additional features.

Please check your settings when upgrading to Version 4.0 from previous versions prior to it.

What’s New with 4.0

  • QR Code Support (using Google Chart API)
  • Additional Shorteners (Goo.gl, dlvr.it, yourls)
  • Nice ID links with QR Code (i.e. http://your_site/123.qr)
  • Version 4.0 features completely refactored code once again. Now includes classes which allows developers to easily extend the plugin.

Features:

  • Automatic generation of a Short URL/Shortlinks
  • Cached Shortlink – thus generated only once.
  • Choose to generate shortlinks using permalinks or the posts ID (e.g. http://your_site/index.php?p=123).
  • Relatively extensive shortlink support
  • Action Hooks available for other plugins to utilize generated shortlinks (From Ver 3.0 Onwards)
  • Nice ID links – http://your_site/123 instead of http://your_site/index.php?p=123
  • Shortcode support (Ver 3.1): Place [shortlink] in your article where you want to display the shortened url.
  • Append a link to short URL below your post content (Ver 3.1.1)

Future Versions and on:

  • More services/features can be added upon request (http://code.google.com/p/url-shortener-plugin/issues/list)
