        This looks good, thanks for making the extension, I just have a couple of questions.
        Can the field the URL is entered into be longer? we have a URL which is sometimes 270 characters long, the field seems to have a limit on characters at the moment.
        In the example, the shortened url is in "url/file/", is it possible to just have it after the url or does the "/file/" extension have to be in the final short url?
        If you were developing this further, it would be good to have the shortened url linked to a customers record that you sent the link to. Maybe have a button next to a customer where the shortened url process starts from?

          hello,
          i don't use .. but i have look ..
          if it's that field, you can change "maxLength": 300 for sample.
          and make rebuild after.
          ressources/metadata/entityDefs/ShortUrl.json


          "alias": {

          "type": "varchar",

          "maxLength": 150,

          "trim": true,

          "options": [],

          "isCustom": true

          },

              New version: 0.0.2
              Changed
              • Limit of characters in Full Url field.
              Download: https://devcrm.it/download/?file=0a9...0-2033ef909dda

              Current limit is 300 characters. Of course if you want, you can adjust it in Custom folder. Here you have tutorial: https://docs.dubas.pro/extensions/sh...gth-of-aliases

                Hello,
                until recently the extension worked. But since one of the last updates I only get a page with the word "true".
                No redirect anymore....
                Everything is still correct in the .htaccess.​

                    Hy emillod,

                    Is it possible to create a short url with a formula?

                    Example:
                    I often have to send a link from an entry of an entity or link it in another program.
                    The link sometimes causes problems there.
                    Either too long or the # causes problems.

                    Now I want to create a field in the entity and create a short URL there using a formula.
                    Is that possible?​

                      Hello Sir,
                      yes, you can generate a link through formula. You have to check how formulas work and create simply record in proper entity.

                        Ok, I managed it with a lot of testing.

                        This formula creates a new ShortUrl and is then read into the entity.

                        PHP Code:
                        $url=string\concatenate('https://portal.domain.de/#Hauptkurs/view/',entity\attribute('id'));
                        $lfdNr=lfdNr;
                        $short=record\create('ShortUrl''name'$url,'alias',$lfdNr);
                        short=record\attribute('ShortUrl'$short'shortUrl');​ 
                        But is there another and easier way to do this, or is this correct?

                          For formulas that's an easiest way to do it.

                            Somehow this formula only works to a limited extent.

                            When I create a new entry, the short URL appears.
                            But if I edit an existing entry, the URL is created in Short URL, but unfortunately it is not read into the entry.
                            If I then try to update the entry again, I get the error message that the entry with the alias already exists. But it still does not read it in.

                            Do I have a small error somewhere?​

                            Hy,

                            I have a problem with the short URL extension:

                            Through a tip, I was told that the short url no longer works. I call up a public form via short url, for which I use Public Forms from eblasoft. If I call up the link normally without the short url...
