Sharex: Short URL's (YOURLS)

Created on 29 Nov 2013  路  9Comments  路  Source: ShareX/ShareX

Would it be possible to add the ability to use YOURLS with ShareX if you have YOURLS installed on your own server? That way users can have custom shortened URLS rather than randomly generated ones from goo.gl for example. I know with an implementation like this the user will have to point ShareX at exactly where YOURLS is located on the server but I think this would be a great edition.

(Sorry I'm new to GitHub and I tried to put this in the enhancements label but I have no idea how)

YOURLS does work using the custom uploader section.

Fully agree. That would be awesome.

Where can i test API on? Because without testing i can't add it.

Jaex, you can get yourls for free from http://yourls.org/
If you need space to test it on, drop us a mail github [at] ideal-hosting [dot...] com

I don't have knowledge about php and building local server for it so i can't get from there free.
I need example host for testings otherwise i can't add it blindly.

I've managed to get that to work however now it is using incremented numbers at the end of my short URL when I would like random characters/numbers again, is there any way to do that?

  • I'm now using a YOURLS plugin to randomise the URL

If YOURLS working fine with custom uploader then i'm closing this issue.

I tried to make info page for custom uploader not sure is it good enough:

Oh that's great, thanks Jaex. Sorry I didn't see your previous reply after the issue was closed.
