Problem with ordering, and with WP Plugin

xcannabis · **Joined:** 2010-02-05 (11:04) **Posts:** 15

I just paid for this Script, and SHARE*IT sent me an email saying that they need to process my order.
But the only reason why I ordered this script, is because it was advertised as an immediate download.

I have a business account with PayPal in good standing, Ive had the account for years. Thats how I paid, so I can't imagine why there would be any problems.

Why the delay?

Also, I noticed that the Wordpress widget doesn't work on my version of Wordpress. I have the latest v.2.9.1 of WP.
When I install the GentleSource ShortURL plugin, it installs fine. But when I go to settings, I just get a blank page.

In 99% of the cases it is immediate download.

If you forward me your e-mail from shareit, I'll ask them.

Thanks very much! I got the script and I love it!

Thanks also for working on the Wordpress plugin, that was a selling point for me. When I am able to utilize that, I will be able to move forward with my plans. I look forward to that new release.

Also I am interested in using this script WP to Twitter (http://slu2.com/?4)

I currently use it with my Bit.Ly account, but I was wondering what it would take to make that plugin work with the Short URL plugin?

Thanks!

I have tested our short URL plugin with the latest Wordpress version and it worked fine. If you want me to look at your plugin, I would need an FTP account to your Wordpress installation.

I looked at the WP -> Twitter plugin and there are two options. The first one would be a quick hack that would highjack either the cli.gs or the bit.ly part in the code and insert the API URL of your Short URL Script installation. The second option would be to enhance the plugin in a way that would allow you to manage a third Short URL API service via the Wordpress plugin settings area.

Best regards

Thanks for looking into it. How can I send you my ftp info?

So this is the cl.igs code:

Quote:

if ( $snoopy->fetchtext( "http://cli.gs/api/v1/cligs/create?t=snoopy&appid=WP-to-Twitter&url=".$thispostlink."&title=".$thisposttitle."&key=".$cligsapi ) ) {
$shrink = trim($snoopy->results);

Do I replace that with:

Code:

if ( $snoopy->fetchtext( "http://slu2.com/short_url/?api=apicode&u= ) ) {
            $shrink = trim($snoopy->results);   

Sorry, Im having trouble. Thanks for your help!

Ok, so this is how I entered my API URL.

Code:

http://www.slu2.com?api=111&u=appid=WP-to-Twitter&url=".$thispostlink."&title=".$thisposttitle

And when I go to the URL created, which is:

http://slu2.com/?Nj

it goes to this URL

http://slu2.com/appid=WP-to-Twitter

Which is invalid and I get a 404 error

Any ideas what Im doing wrong?

I did get this fixed in the Wordpress plugin for the SHORTURL script.

I still can't get the settings page to display on the Dashboard, but I edited this page:

Quote:

gentlesource-short-url/gentlesource_shorturl.php

And I put in my API url for the shorturl site.

Quote:

http://slu2.com/?api=420&u=%s

It is making the correct URLs, but is there a way to get them to be sent to Twitter?

Thanks!

I deactivated all of my plugins, and I reactivated only the Short URL plugin.

Now I can see the errors that I am getting:

Code:

You can use the contact form.

I think I found the error and I will fix it this evening.

You could either rename the plugin folder to /gentlesource_shorturl/ or you could change the path in gentlesource_shorturl.php from

Code:

include '../wp-content/plugins/gentlesource_shorturl/template/settings.tpl.php';

to

Code:

include '../wp-content/plugins/gentlesource-short-url/template/settings.tpl.php';

That is the directory that the files are in.
I haven't changed anything previously either.

I will reupload the files, hopefully that helps.

If that doesn't help, I'll send over the FTP info.

Thanks for your help!

I've updated the code. You can download it from the Wordpress plugin site.

That worked thanks Ralf!

I enabled the ShortURL link and the Twitter link. Where do those links show up? Do they get placed in the post?

Ralf · **Joined:** 2003-07-27 (00:49) **Posts:** 7357

The Twitter link should show up below the article.

Ralf

xcannabis · **Joined:** 2010-02-05 (11:04) **Posts:** 15

No luck. No shortened links are showing up.

This is my site: http://xcannabis.com

The Short URL and the Twitter link are both selected. But nothing is showing up.

I just found out that this might be a problem related to the other one (wrong paths). It's been fixed now.

Best regards

Ralf, that worked for the twitter and shorturl to be displayed on the posts.

I am still having a problem with the WP to Twitter script.

You mentioned that I could alter the Cli.gs

As described, I have been unsuccessful at altering the script.

This is my API URL:

http://slu2.com/?api=420&u=%s

Can you tell me how to alter the WP to Twitter script so that it will display my ShortURL link instead of Cli.gs?

Thanks!
