[Plugin: WP To Twitter] Trying to use Goo.gl Shortner (2 posts)

    I want to use Goo.gl as my url shortner which is actually extraordinarily easy using Marcos Esperon's Plugin Googl Generator. All I have to do is make a function call and it outputs the goo.gl link!

    I have been trying to insert the function into your script and then call it using $thisposturl or $thispostlink as the input but it's outputting nothing so I dunno what I should try next. I'm semi-good with PHP but very new to WordPress Plugins.

    I used this tutorial to help decide what to implement inside your script

    This is an awesome script, you've done a spectacular job!

    Dallen, Goo.gl have released an API and that's what you should use instead of an App Engine application mentioned in that post.

    Here's a post that illustrates the new way: Using Google’s URL Shortener (goo.gl) in WordPress and here's a plugin that was created out of it: Goo.gl for WordPress which supports caching and analytics too!

    Cheers!
