Bit.ly Link Tracker |
| Submitted By falicon |
DescriptionA simple plug in that will use the bit.ly API to automatically shorten any link you share (great for tracking how many clicks the links you share via adium generate!)To use your own Bit.ly apiKey - create the following text file: Library/Application Support/Adium 2.0/bitly_api.txt the contents of the file should be: apiKey:YOUR_BITLY_ASSIGNED_KEY,login:YOUR_BITLY_LOGIN Where you replace the YOUR_BITLY_ASSIGNED_KEY and YOUR_BITLY_LOGIN with your account specific details. Once you create the file in this location, make sure you restart Adium...and you should be all good (if you have troubles feel free to email me at info at falicon dot com any time).

# by tom_taylor on 09/11/10 at 15:43:09Can we have a filter with this plugin, so you can select which accounts it is active for, and if it matches any words from a list it wont sent to bit.ly?
A button within the chat window would be handy too! :) # by [Tee]derDoc[DMC] on 01/30/11 at 03:20:19Hi there
Does this only work if I have a bit.ly account? What if I would just like to shorten my links but don't necessarily want to track them or make a bitly account? Coz for me it does not seem to work right now (I didn't create that textfile yet, since I dont have an account with them). # by Pika_power on 03/28/11 at 10:16:34I have registered a bit.ly account, installed the plugin and set up the txt file, but it doesn't work. What am I doing wrong?

# by guildnavigator on 03/16/12 at 23:10:46I upgraded to Adium 1.5 today and this Extra started working. I had set it up a while ago and this is the first time I've seen it in action.
I have a custom domain set in my bit.ly account, and bit.ly says: > Will my custom short domain work with 3rd-party tools? > Once a Custom Short Domain has been configured for your bitly account, all 3rd-party tools that allow you to enter your bitly username and API key will now shorten URLs with your Custom Short Domain. However when the Extra creates a shortened link it uses bit.ly's domain. Anyway to get the custom short domain working with this? Thanks!

As of right now, there's no way to 'track how many clicks the links you share via adium generate!', as the links don't show up on your bit.ly account dashboard, and there's no configuration for the plugin that I can find.
Am I missing something here?
