## Beschreibung

**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](http://wiki.fusedthought.com/docs/url-shortener-wordpress-plugin)
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)

Refer to the documentation/wiki page at http://wiki.fusedthought.com/docs/url-shortener-
wordpress-plugin for more information (eg. installation guide and known issues etc).

**Services currently supported are:**

 * goo.gl (beta)
 * bit.ly
 * tinyurl
 * is.gd
 * Su.pr
 * snipurl / Snurl / Snipr / Sn.im / Cl.lk
 * cl.gs
 * chilp.it
 * smsh (aka sm00sh)
 * urli.nl
 * unfake.it
 * awe.sm
 * Voizle
 * Interdose API
 * dlvr.it

**Suspended**

 * Ping.fm (Will be suspended until they reopen their API)

**Available Template Tags**

On-demand shortening function:

    ```
    <?php fts_shorturl('http://www.google.com', 'bitly'); ?>
    ```

To show the generated links::

    ```
    <?php fts_show_shorturl($post); ?>
    ```

Or if WordPress 3.0:

    ```
    <?php the_shortlink(); ?>
    ```

https://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/the_shortlink

**Available hooks and filters**

 * fts_use_shortlink (Action Hook)
 * fts_filter_shortlink (Filter)

**Future Versions and on:**

 * More services/features can be added upon request (http://code.google.com/p/url-
   shortener-plugin/issues/list)
 * Do note that due to my increasing need to concentrate on my studies, and a lack
   of financial contribution from such plugin development, I cannot possibly accede
   to all requests.

  Service Support Levels

 * As I am increasingly busy with college work, I’ve classified services into Tiers…
 * Problems with Tier 1 services will be dealt with faster than group 2 and so on)
 * Do note that the providers for beta services may change their API anytime… Do
   report if there are any issues.

  Tier 1

 * goo.gl (beta)
 * bit.ly
 * tinyurl
 * is.gd
 * Su.pr
 * snipurl / Snurl / Snipr / Sn.im / Cl.lk

  Tier 2  Tier 3

 * cl.gs
 * chilp.it
 * smsh (aka sm00sh)
 * urli.nl
 * unfake.it
 * awe.sm
 * Voizle
 * Interdose API
 * dlvr.it

  Depreciated

 * Digg (They have stopped the service)
 * soso.bz (Service no longer available)
 * Cuthut (Service no longer available)
 * short.ie (Service not available)

  Will deprciated services come back?

Normally it’s only depreciated when the shortening service is down for a prolong
period of time. However, if there is a request, I will definitely consider it.
