How can I get chevereto to work with tiny.im

[brightboss]

I know you can add a custom short url service in chevereto's config. I'm puzzled... tiny.im shows how to integrate to their api here http://tiny.im/api.html But I don't know what and how to make it work for chevereto. Is their any code genius that can help? Thanks.

This is the format for Chevereto:

http://yoursite.com/yourls-api.php?format=simple&action=shorturl&username=<USERNAME>&password=<PASSWORD>&url=

But you can't do it directly because tiny.im requires a base64 string and a .json ending. My sugesstion is to add tiny.im in the Chevereto shorturl class.

I'm not a coder... so I wouldn't know how to add it as a class. I wish I did. Is it possible you can show me the code to add to make it work?

hmmm the only easy fix will be to create a sub-api in Chevereto. Something like mysite.com/shorturl-api.php and that make compatible with Chevereto, inside this file the system will mimic the valid format. Please send me API details to test and perhaps I can make it for you.

Cheers,

There is the bridge:

<?php
/* Tiny.im bridge for Chevereto */
/* By Rodolfo Berrios */
 
define('access', 'BRIDGE');
require_once('includes/chevereto.php');
 
$config['tinyim_api_key'] = 'YOUR API KEY GOES HERE'; // Ypur tini.im API key
$tinyim = json_decode(fetch_url('http://tiny.im/api/v1/'.$config['tinyim_api_key'].'/shorturl/create/url/'.base64_encode($_GET['url']).'.json'));
 
die($tinyim->data->short_url);
 
?>

Put that file in the root of your Chevereto installation, put any name on it like tinyim_bridge.php.

Then in includes/config.php go to $config['short_url_service'] and set "custom". Then in $config['custom_short_url_api'] should look like this:

$config['custom_short_url_api'] = 'http://mycheveretoinstallation.com/tinyim_bridge.php?url='
