bit.ly URL shortening requires the login name and API key for a bit.ly account.
|
||
|
|
Register for an account or set up your API key here:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
http://bit.ly/a/your_api_key
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Administrators can configure a login and API key to use through the admin panels
|
||
|
|
on the site; these credentials will then be used for all users.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
(In the future, options will be added for individual users to override the keys
|
||
|
|
with their own login for URLs they post.)
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
If the login and API key are left empty in the admin panel, then bit.ly will be
|
||
|
|
disabled and hidden from the list of available URL shorteners unless a global
|
||
|
|
default was provided in the plugin configuration.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
To enable bit.ly with no default credentials, simply slip into your config.php:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
addPlugin('BitlyUrl');
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
To provide default credentials, add them as parameters:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
addPlugin('BitlyUrl', array(
|
||
|
|
'login' => 'myname',
|
||
|
|
'apiKey' => '############################'
|
||
|
|
));
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
These settings will not be individually exposed to the admin panels, but the
|
||
|
|
panel will indicate whether or not the global default settings are available;
|
||
|
|
this makes it suitable as a global default for multi-site hosting, where admins
|
||
|
|
on individual sites can change to use their own settings.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
If you're using a bit.ly pro account with a custom domain etc, it should all
|
||
|
|
"just work" as long as you use the correct login name and API key for your
|
||
|
|
account.
