A fieldtype that calls an external service for a short url for the current entry. Has settings to authenticate with username/password for private shortening services. Should work with a few short-url services. Want one added, just email me.
An EE Fieldtype that adds the a short link field type.
Usage
When a new entry is created, the field type will call a specified external api with the url of the new entry and return a short link.
Settings are stored in fieldtypes manager, and you will need to put in 3 variables
- Api UrlThe full url of your short link creator. ie. http://db.vc/api.php
- Username Your username for the short link creator
- Password Your password for the short link creator
Limitations
This is something I’ve whipped together really quickly, to fit a personal need. As such it doesn’t have any validation, either against input (keyword suggestion) or return (ie. bad parameters username/password).
It currently only supports one url shortening service, http://yourls.org, but more will be added at some point.
Let me know what you’d like added.
