Example URL shortening service using 3la.cc
(Edit your project's description!)
Release notes:
The latest SVN/Nightly build of Elgg (2009061401) provides hooks for URL shortening services through the input/urlshortener view.
This is a functional example which uses the unbranded URL shortening service 3la.cc to shorten long URLs in The Wire posts.
Use this as an example for writing support for things services like TinyURL or Bit.ly
Requirements
- The latest SVN / Nightly build of Elgg core (this won't work on vanilla 1.5)
- The latest SVN TheWire plugin (bundled with core)
Notes
- You will need to update your .htaccess file
- Requires latest SVN
- This is an example usage for new functionality I'm playing with in Elgg core, and as so is not supported by Curverider :)

Marcus strikes to the rescue again ;-)

I'm so happy this is happening! I've been using su.pr and Tinyurl for a while now manually, and su.pr has a feature to shorten URLs on your site etc.. but not sure it will work until one of you guys gets a hold of it. I'm happy to see this progress tho! Awesome progress!
will this sopport in version 1.7?
Will it work for 1.7?
I can't imagine why it wouldn't, but it would rely on The Wire not removing the call to the shortening service view.
Form is missing __token or __ts fields in elgg 1.7.7
adding a <?php echo elgg_view('input/securitytoken'); ?> still doesn't work for me
