Speaking URL configuration

By default, a tiny URL created by this extension will look like this:

http://mytypo3page.tld/index.php?eID=tx_tinyurls&tx_tinyurls[key ]=Aefc-3E

This is not very short and readable. This is why using speaking URLs is recommended. For this to work you need to set createSpeakingURLs to 1 and maybe edit the speakingUrlTemplate . By default, speaking URLs will look like this:

http://mytypo3page.tld/goto/Aefc-3E

Obviously you will need to tell you webserver how to handle these URLs.

Apache example configuration

When you are using mod_rewrite you can use this line in your .htaccess file or your webserver configuration:

RewriteRule ^tinyurl/([a-zA-Z0-9]+(-[a-zA-Z0-9]+)?)$ /index.php?eID=tx_tinyurls&tx_tinyurls[key]=$1

Lighttpd example configuration

When you use lighttpd you can use this configuration for rewriting tiny URLs:

url.rewrite-if-not-file = (
    # rewrite goto urls to tinyurls extension
    "^/tinyurl/(.*)$" => typo3path + "index.php?eID=tx_tinyurls&tx_tinyurls[key]=$1",
)
