DEPRECATION WARNING

This documentation is not using the current rendering mechanism and is probably outdated. The extension maintainer should switch to the new system. Details on how to use the rendering mechanism can be found here.

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",
)
