Yourls Url shortener not working

[subojac]

Hey,

So I've installed the script here img.mykak.us and I've got my YOURLS shortener at mykak.us
Anyhow, I've filled in the YOURLS shorteners details in the config and when I upload a image a short url is created and I can see it in the YOURLS admin panel, but the short url field is blank.

Any suggestions on how I get this to show, bit of a noob. My API is publicly accessible, but I've tried it with the secret key, username and password and without. Every time a url is created on mykak.us, but it never shows in chevereto.

Here's my current config:

$config['short_url'] = true; // Values: true|false

*Edit*
Just noticed I posted in the wrong section, please excuse
$config['short_url_service'] = 'custom'; // Values: tinyurl | google | isgd | bitly | custom

$config['custom_short_url_api'] = 'http://mykak.us/yourls-api.php?format=simple&action=shorturl&url='; // Example: http://yoursite.com/yourls-api.php?format=simple&action=shorturl&username=<USERNAME>&password=<PASSWORD>&url=

$config['custom_short_url_service'] = 'MyKAK.us';

Something weird is happening... Some times a direct API request is just blank... Maybe you have a issue with the memory on your server.

Chevereto returns just what the api returns, I will check it deeper on the night. Try to whitelist the chevereto.com domain and not touch a lot the settings of yourls.

I've checked the server and it's returning the requests fine if I manually add a url and use the api. I've also used the api from another Yourls site that's configured almost exactly like mine http://api.mrte.ch/ and it also doesn't work.

Okay, so, I've figured out what the problem is, the api isn't fast enough for chevereto and the short url just isn't there because it was to slow. I've created a temporary fix using php sleep in shorturl.php to make the script sleep for 20sec so the short url is ready. This is oly temporary and makes things take very long, what can I add to the script so it just waits for the url and then continues instead of waiting for a preset amount of time like it does with my fix. Not that great with php so I'm going to need some help coming up with a permanent solution.

Here's my temporary fix in shorturl.php

if(chevereto_config('short_url_service')=='custom' and check_value(chevereto_config('custom_short_url_api'))) {
    $ShortURL->custom_service_api = chevereto_config('custom_short_url_api');
    sleep(20);

That can be improved on the curl request of the shorturl class, try to tune up the timeout I think that I can add +30s more on that function

Sorry not exactly sure what you want me to do? Where do I add the 30s?

includes/classes/class.shorturl.php

Find:

curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_TIMEOUT, 120);

Change 120 for the secs that you need.

I tried everything from a 150 to 1000, but it didn't work, so I'm back to using

sleep(20);

Hmm I see. Anyway, problem already solved.
