This package is marked as retired

This package was designed to work with Umbraco v4 to v6 only.
Due to other package commitments, I am no longer maintaining this package.

Bit.ly Url Shortener

Bit.ly is a simple url shortening service that takes your long page URL and makes it much shorter.  This data-type makes the process easy to use with in Umbraco.

When you install this package, it will create a new data-type called "Bit.ly Url Shortener", as a default it will contain the API credentials for the "bitlyapidemo" user. Please feel free to change these to your own.

Next you need to add the new data-type to your document type and the rest should be straight-forward.

It is important to note that this data-type does NOT automatically generate a short Bit.ly URL, it must be generated as required.  The reasoning behind this is to allow for more control and selection with which pages/URLs are shortened.

Updates:

  • 1.0 - Initial release
  • 1.5 - Recompiled to .NET 2.0, (was previously 3.5). Fixed the missing ScriptManager bug, (thanks rasb)
  • 2.0 - Incorporated Bit.ly stats module (via Javascript Client API)
