ShURLy is a URL shortening service implemented as a module for Drupal. This module was written by Jeff Robbins for Lullabot’s URL shortener: http://lb.cm and maintained by Jean-Baptiste Lardoux for Nemorius: https://lc.cx
D7 version is ready for use. D8 version is still in development and should not be used in production environment.
It is intended to be fast, clean, simple, self-contained, user-friendly, flexible, and easy to set up.
New URLs are created by going to /shurly and entering the long URL and an optional custom short URL. Short URLs have ownership and each user can track click statistics for his/her URLs.
To maximize the use of characters, URLs are case sensitive. With the correct permissions, short URLs can either be entered custom or autogenerated. Autogenerated URLs use the character set of A-Z, a-z, 0-9. However the characters “01lIO†are not used since these characters are often ambiguous, particularly in print (thanks to Tantek Çelik for this suggestion). Custom URLs may contain any non-reserved characters including UTF8 characters, glyphs, and icons. How fun is that!?
