    Feature suggestion

    Hi Lee,

    Could you make it optional to auto create a bit.ly URL on publish?

    Good suggestion, thanks Darren.

    I'll look at adding a checkbox to the data-type config/settings.  This allows for multiple bit.ly instances across document-types. Lets say if you had one document-type that you wanted to auto-generate the bit.ly URL, and others you wanted to do it manually.

    I could go the XML config route, but thinking its better to make use of existing UI.

    I'll keep you posted here, (and via Twitter).

    Cheers, Lee.

    Hi Stephan, current status is on-hold ... (paid work took priority).

    I have made a start with the code, but ran into all sorts of tiny bugs/hiccups with the Umbraco UI - as due to the page life-cycle the bit.ly URL generates but doesn't display when you first publish - you'd need to reload the Edit screen ... hopefully I can iron out these issues when I get the time.

    It's still on my "to do" list...

    Cheers, Lee.
