• Advanced Tracking: Piwik Code possible too?
• Advertisement: openX Coded possible too? Sorry when some questions allready answered, but I cant find those anwers in your knowledge base. Thanks,

Hello, 1) I am working on a much easier bookmarklet that will show the short url right away, without redirection. 2) Yes, I haven't started yet but I plan to release a free wp plugin that will integrate this script to wp. 3) Sorry, I don't understand the question 4) Yes it is possible and it is relatively easy. I will try to write a tutorial on how to integrate Piwik. But if you know, go for it and I would be happy to help you. 5) Yes, you just need to put the script provided by openX into the ad box in the admin panel. Let me if you have any questions.

sorry something crazy is happening. After your comment I saw that I already bought your tool ... o_O Ok I'm running yourls right now and remember that I bourght your shortener because of the user registration. I got it on my todo for the next week to test it out. Is there a german language file or do you need a translation for it? Cheers and some big easter eggs this weekend : ) Dennis

Hi, You can easily translate most of the text by editing a single file. There is a translation-ready file in includes/lang/. Simply open that and translate each of the sentences or words. P.S. I will upload a new version to CC today.

How can I block domain name? e.g: tiny.cc. bit.ly, dit.nu, ...

Hi, You can follow the instructions here: http://kbrmedia.freshdesk.com/support/solutions/articles/61850-how-do-i-blacklist-more-keywords-and-domain-names Let me know if it works for you.

Doesn't work for domain names :(

Hi, It works for me. So you need to add your domain name in the array e.g. 'bit.ly' AND change $this->adult($domain) to $this->adult($url) on line 22. Let me know if it works.

Ooo. It works. Thx and sorry for my stupidity! :)

Don't worry about it. Let me know if you need anything else ;)

hi id email to you... kindly check it.. thanks

Hi, Sorry your email went to my spam folder, but I just replied you.

great response... owh how to enter setting back if the site been Site is offline for maintenance

Hello, So you just have to login as admin by directly typing the url to the login page that is http://YOURSITE/user/login. Then login using your admin credential and go to your admin panel and change the settings.

very nice work. I will be buying this.

Hey, Thanks. The new version, 1.6, is currently waiting approval (~70%).

Hi, Can you please replay on my PM. I am waiting for the response and after that I can maybe get the Extended license. Regards

Hi, Sorry your email was marked as spam. Envato really need to fix this issue.

Demo does not work.

Yeah, sorry it was down for an hour but now it should be OK.

First of all i have to say you are one of the hard-working authors. I have bought your script in the early starting and you have add so many futures. Now it is one of the best scripts i know. Thank you very much! And second i have a future suggestion. It will be nice if the user can set a expiere time/date for a url.

Hi Thanks for the feedback. I will definitely add this feature in the next updates. Josh

I'm currently shortening my links using an installable script called YOURLS. I've got several thousand links currently in the database. I can export them out as a CSV or XML file. I'm looking to switch to a new system that has greater tagging/sorting ability. Is there any way that I can import our current URLs long/short into this system without breaking the links that we currently have setup? Thanks so much, Paul

Hi Paul, Yes, it is possible however you will need to make some small changes. If you want you can send me via email your CSV file or your mySQL dump and I can reformat it for you. You will then just need to import it via phpmyadmin and that is it. Josh

Hello, I found a bug. I noticed it when I ask a friend from chicago to check a link for me. Everything is working properly, but the thing is I added a GeoTarget on a certain link and when a person click on a geotargetted link, a white page will appear and WILL ONLY redirect if they refresh the page. How can I fix this?

Hi It seems to be due to memory cache that is used by GeoIP. A quick fix is to open includes/Short.class.php and go to around line 717 to find:

include(ROOT."/includes/lib/geoip.inc");

include_once(ROOT."/includes/lib/geoip.inc");

I think it is fixed. Thank you very much. :) Anyway, I would like to suggest. if a registered user shorten a link and use geotarget, I think it would be great if he can copy the previous get target setup he made on his previous links. Here: 1. He can save a GeoTarget settings. 2. Apply the "Saved GeoTarget Setting" to new links he wants.

Hi, I will think about this and see if it is possible. Josh

hello im interested on buying this source code, as people use smartphone every time for everything, does this URL shortener support optimisation for iPhone Safari browser, opera mini browser on smartphone android chrome too? thanks

sorry if this is a dumb question.

Hey, This script is already using a responsive layout (not for all pages though) and you can easily change the styles in any way you want. However, if you intend to target only smartphone users then you will need to do some modifications in the themes files in order to remove some unnecessary stuff as currently they are just hidden but they still take up memory. Removing some of those components will certainly speed up the execution. Let me know if you need anything else. Josh

When I try to go to the Short URL, it does not redirect at all. Just an empty white page.

Hello, That is a small bug that happens when you select "Google Analytics". Please send me an email so I can send you the corrected file. Laura

I submitted a ticket through your website. This is something that will be fixed in a future update too right? Thank you

Hello, It has already been fixed but the author is away right now. He will update it as soon as he gets back (Sunday). Laura

All issue solved !!!! .... he is a great young talented guy !!! how i wish he is my brother !!! ... but he is a gr8t guy !!!! amazing product you will never see else where

Hello, I simply did a fresh re-install of the script on the same server and now the thumbnail images are not showing. I checked the server settings and allow_url_fopen is enabled. Do I need to change permissions for a directory? Thank you.

Hey No, that is due to mshots blocking server-side requests. You will have to switch to pagepeeker. To do so, open includes/Short.class.php then find protected $thumb_provider="mshots". Simply replace mshots by pagepeeker. This should fix the issue.

is there other themes for this url shortener service ?

Hello, Currently I don't think so. Josh, the developer, hired a designer to develop 3 themes for this script a couple of weeks ago and he didn't deliver them and he doesn't respond to emails anymore. However I think Josh already started designing 1 or 2 themes. I am not sure if he has finished them yet or not. He will back from a trip next week. Regards, Laura

Hi, After changing my hosting account.. Thumbnails are not loading anymore (Wordpress screenshots) it says The image “http://mydomain(dot)comGGDOV/i” cannot be displayed because it contains errors.

Hey That is probably because your new server has disabled allow_url_fopen. If you can't enabled it there is an easy fix for this. Just send email and I will send you the instructions. Josh

How I can configure the integration of twitter, I entered the key and secret, but I always get the error: "An error has occured! Please make sure that you have set up this application as instructed.."

Hey That usually happens when twitter refuses auth request. Please make sure that you have configured your app on twiter properly. The instructions for this is posted in the documentation. If you want you can send a screenshot of your twitter app config to my email or open a ticket.

Dont update, stopping at http://xxx.xx/updater.php?step=2 blank page

Hi Please make sure that the file config.php is there and is filled properly. If it isn't, rename config_sample.php and fill it.

This is in debug mode and I forgot to turn this off. Please send me an email and I will send you the correct file. Also according to this, the update has already been done. Please check your site.

I did a fresh install and then imported the old database to make it work. The method by updater did not work.

Hi Can you please open a ticket with ftp info? Josh

Is there any change log avaliable? Because on Codecanyon frontpage there is not hint about new version ;)

Hi The demo and item page will be updated today.

Hey , i have install the last version of the script .. and i try to show the Advertisement i only show .. Advertisement (728x90) and tow ads not showing Advertisement (468x60) Advertisement (300x250) Could u tell me what's wrong

Hi The 468x60 is only shown on the splash page and frame page and the 300x250 is shown mostly in the sidebars outside the dashboard. If you want to insert these ads by yourself you can use the following code (The first parameter is the size and it can be 728, 468 or 300): ads(468) ?>

Any idea if this script works on Windows Server 2012 IIS/PHP/MySQL/URL Rewrite? Thanks!

Hi A couple of people used this on IIS and it worked without any problem. The only issue you might have is with URL rewriting however you can use some tools to convert Apache rules to IIS rules. Josh
