URL Shortener plugin allows you to create your own short url using the WordPress Post ID (for eg: http://yoursite/POST-ID ). It provides two method of redirection, namely, wprewrite redirect and templateredirection (template redirect).

It also integrates multiple URL Shortening service with your WordPress.org installation bringing a similar functionality to that of WordPress.com's WP.me shortlinks feature but using 3rd party URL Shorteners.

To show the generated links in your template just include this function within the loop:

<?php fts_show_shorturl($post); ?>

As of Version 1.5, I've added an on-demand shortening function for use in the templates:

<?php fts_shorturl('http://www.google.com', 'supr'); ?>

Version 1.5 also brings about an updated administration options page.

Current supported services are:

• tinyurl
• is.gd
• su.pr
• bit.ly
• tr.im
• short.ie
• snipurl (aka Snurl / Snipr / Sn.im)
• cl.gs
• short.to
• ping.fm
• chilp.it
• smsh (aka sm00sh)
• u.nu
• unfake.it
• awe.sm

Notes on Awe.sm usage:

• Custom domain can be configured in your Awe.sm account on the awe.sm website.

Future Versions:

• I am still looking into creating a URL Management page to manage all the generated URLs within the site.
• Twitter and Facebook posting integration?
• More services can be added upon request.
