Alternative to bitly
Would you consider adding support for a self hosted alternative to bitly, such as Polr or Yourls? Both have APIs that are similar to bitly's, and are open source solutions that can be self hosted. Having control over my data is one of the main features that made me (and probably others too) use filerun instead of Google Drive.
Answer
You can configure FileRun to use any other URL shortening service. Please see the $config['app']['weblinks']['custom_url_shortener'] directive on the advanced configuration page of the documentation site.
Copying here the current configuration option:
$config['app']['weblinks']['custom_url_shortener'] ='http://your-site.com/yourls-api.php?signature=YOUR-SIGNATURE&action=shorturl&format=simple'; | The example is based on Yourls (https://yourls.org). For shorteners which require the FileRun weblink address to be present in the URL, use the ### placeholder. |
Hi i put customizables/config.php
new config.php file with:
$config['app']['weblinks']['custom_url_shortener'] = 'http://myweb.com/folder/yourls-api.php?signature=xxxxxxx&action=shorturl&format=simple';
?>
after this:
i try to login file run......... BUT not OPEN
do you help me
thanks
Make sure there is no character before "<?php" (no white space, no enter, nothing).
Remove "?>", it's not needed.
I am afraid I do not understand from your message what the problem is. FileRun doesn't load? It loads, but you can't login? You can login, but can't create short links?
Hi, Vlad,
FileRun loads, but i can't login
I see one white space before: " <?php" I fix them and i remove "?>"
Filerun now works fine !!! and Yourls autogenerate link!!!
THANKS !!!!!
One last Question:
I don't want to use the link-name that is done automatically by Yourls,
I would like to know if I can write the name (custom URL keywords) for Yourls link ?
what do i have to change in the next line?
$config['app']['weblinks']['custom_url_shortener'] =
'http://myweb.com/folder/yourls-api.php?signature=xxxxxxx&action=shorturl&format=simple';
Thx
