YOURLS Plugin: Upload and Shorten

Plugin for YOURLS 1.7+.

Description

Upload files to your server and create short-URLs to them in one step. Now you can share your files using shortlinks as well as URL´s.

Installation

1. Navigate to the folder ./user/plugins/ inside your YOURLS-install directory

2. • Either clone this repo using git or
   • create a new folder named ´Upload-and-Shorten´ under your plugin-directory
   • then download all files from here and drop them into that directory.
3. • open ./user/config.php in your YOURLS-directory with any text editor
   • add two definitions at the end of that file:
     define( 'SHARE_URL', 'http://my.domain.tld/directory/' );
define( 'SHARE_DIR', '/full/path/to/httpd/directory/' );
     (both must point to the (existing) directory where your files should be uploaded and accessed from the web)
   • If necessary create a folder matching the name you defined in the above setting
   • Depending on your webserver´s setup you may have to 'chmod +rw /full/path/to/httpd/directory'

4. Go to the Plugins administration page (eg http://sho.rt/admin/plugins.php) and activate the plugin.

5. Have fun!

6. Consider helping with translations.

Localization (l10n)

This plugin supports localization (translations in your language). For this to work you need at least YOURLS v1.7 from March 1, 2015. Earlier versions will basically work fine, except they will not translate into other languages because of a minor bug in the YOURLS-code. Just upgrade to the latest YOURLS version.

The plugin talks English per default, translation files for German are included in the folder i18n/. Remember to define your locale in user/config.php like this:

define( 'YOURLS_LANG', 'de_DE' );

Looking for translators
