=== Plugin Name === Contributors: akrabat, samj Tags: shortlink links url Requires at least: 2.5 Tested up to: 2.7.9 Stable tag: 1.2 This plugin is no longer maintained. Please use another one, such as Shorter Links (https://wordpress.org/plugins/shorter-links/). == Description == The Short Link WordPress plugin automatically creates a link element in the section of the post's page with rel="shortlink" attributes. The URL in the href attribute defaults to the id number of the post in question but can be overridden with a human-friendly slug after the post has been saved. It also creates an HTTP `Link` header that conveys the same information as a performance optimisation (clients need only do a HTTP HEAD to resolve the URL) The link element looks like this: The HTTP header is: Link: <{url}>; rel=shortlink Related Links: * Google Code Site: http://code.google.com/p/shortlink/ == Installation == 1. Upload `shortlink.php` to the `/wp-content/plugins/` directory 2. Activate the plugin through the 'Plugins' menu in WordPress 3. To set a custom short link, update a post so that the custom field is created and then fill in a unique value in the field. == Todo == * Allow some more flexibility with the creation of shortlinks: - numeric unique identifier (e.g. http://example.com/123) - compressed numeric unique identifier (e.g. http://example.com/3r) - human friendly slug (e.g. http://example.com/promo) == Licence == This plugin is licensed under the Apache 2.0 license: http://www.apache.org/licenses/LICENSE-2.0 == History == * 1.0 - 2009-04-13 Initial release.
