Requirements:
- eZ Publish 4.0.1 at least
- this has been tested with an eZ Publish installation configured with
VirtualHost (see
- this has been tested with an eZ Publish installation configured with
MatchOrder=host (site.ini)
Installation:
- Install the ezpackage file included in the tarball.
- in the content structure, create a folder named 'URL Jumps' for the
container
- configure the folder NodeID in the settings/ezurljump.ini file
- create a section named 'URL Jump'
- assign the above created folder to this section
- the created folder should not be available to the public (unless
that is what you want...)
- activate the extension in your site.ini
Use:
- an API similar to the one from tinyurl.com allows you to generate a
short version of any URL:
- you can call it directly from a fopen() to, for example:
- the short URL is called thru the 'out' view:
- you can shorten the API URL with a URL Wildcard such as 'shorten*'
=> 'ezurljump/in/{1}' and use
Background:
- the extension uses the URL shortener described here:
- the short URL ID will start with two characters and will move to 3,
4 etc... characters as needed.
RewriteRule (no demo site):
- if you want even shorter then you will of course need a short domain
name and add a RewriteRule to your apache config (or .htaccess
depending on your system installation)
- customize the rule depending on what else you are doing on the
website.
