Shorten Bottom [Bit.ly]

Note:
Of course, you can use this code to any custom template or page ( like Blogs, Cms, Forums and etc )

Installation:

1- Go to : Admincp>Phrase Manager>Add New Phrase:

Product = vBulletin
Phrase Type = GLOBAL
Varname: vbshorten
Text: Shorten
Save.

2- In the SHOWTHREAD template, Find:

Code:

<h1>

And below that, add this code:

Code:

<a href="javascript:(function(){%20window.open('http://bit.ly/?url='+encodeURIComponent(location.href));%20})();" rel="nofollow"  class="pagetitleinfo textcontrol" >{vb:rawphrase vbshorten}</a>

This is just an example for threads.
and this code works with any version of vBulletin.

All the best.

wouldn't you want to place this outside the header tags?
maybe after the </h1> tag
I wouldn't want a bit.ly link in all my h1 tags

nice idea

Use this code for any place that you want, that was just an example for threads.

Excellent = 5 stars
installed

Note:
I think the reference to missing when adding a new phrase you should choose
Phrase Type = GLOBAL
Product = vBulletin

I chose to add the code to another place after you make changes to code
Become so as it is in the attached photo

my code is:

PHP Code:


		
			
<a href="javascript:(function(){%20window.open('http://bit.ly/?url='+encodeURIComponent(location.href));%20})();" rel="nofollow" class="newcontent_textcontrol">{vb:rawphrase vbshorten}</a>

and i add it in SHOWTHREAD template .. if you need to do same
find

PHP Code:


		
			
    <div id="above_postlist" class="above_postlist">

        <vb:if condition="$show['largereplybutton']">

            <a href="newreply.php?{vb:raw session.sessionurl}p={vb:raw LASTPOSTID}&amp;noquote=1" 

class="newcontent_textcontrol" id="newreplylink_top"><vb:if condition="$show['closethread']"><span>+</span> {vb:rawphrase reply_to_thread}<vb:else />{vb:rawphrase closed_thread}</vb:if></a>

then add code below that

Thanks Dr.osamA, first post updated.

you are welcome bro

thank you for update

This is an awesome mod thank you for your contribution. I have my own url shortener and i would like to use it instead of bit.ly. The shortener is http://www.bfx.me

I tried substituting the URL of bit.ly with bfx.me - it comes up but the url does not automatically go into the field provided. Can anyone help me to get this to work?

Edit:

Well i got it to work a little bit. I found this on the http://bfx.me site:

Code:

Shortening a URL with the bfx.me API is very simple, all you need to do is send a get request to the API passing through the URL you wish to shorten.



To shorten http://www.neowin.net/news/windows-7-piracy-check-update-goes-live request:



http://bfx.me/api.php?u=http://www.neowin.net/news/windows-7-piracy-check-update-goes-live



The API will return the shortened URL http://bfx.me/jZ2qi





To retrieve the original URL from the API, all you need to do is send a get request to the API passing through the shortened URL (or the last 5 characters).



To expand http://bfx.me/jZ2qi request:



http://bfx.me/api.php?r=http://bfx.me/jZ2qi

or http://bfx.me/api.php?r=jZ2qi



The API will return the original URL http://www.neowin.net/news/windows-7-piracy-check-update-goes-live

So I use this:

Code:

http://bfx.me/api.php?u

Instead of this:

Code:

http://bit.ly/?url

It will return the shortened url but will not function the site properly. What I mean by that is if you go to the bfx.me and shorten a url it eill return the shortened url and a barcode as well and will also alow you to tweet the url. From what I did it just comes up as a white screen with the shortened url in the upper left corner. The shortened url is right but I would like it to return to the bfx.me page where it will display the bardcode and the tweet option.

Any help would be appreciated...

This can be very useful, tagged.

Can this be used for o-url.com ?

Thanks. Installed and it works fine
