This doesn’t work for me when I select bit.ly as shortner. I’m on Mac (OSX 10.6.3). I get the error message: “You must be authenticated to access shorten” but I’m very sure that my username (lowcase letters) and API are all good. If I shortnen withouth my account it DOEs work.

Nighthound, this is excellent. The LongURL inclusion by itself is great!

I use a home-rolled shortener through the YOURLS API.

Any way we can add in an option for tying that in? (The YOURLS API is the same for all installations, we’d just need an input line for the exact url. I looked through what I could in the script, and didn’t see the library where the current eight services are housed…)

@Marco: bit.ly requires an API login and key in order to shorten urls. My extension will use its own API credentials by default. If you wish to use use your own login and key, you can input through the options page.

Click on the Options button in your extensions page, choose bit.ly in the Simple Mode Default, and the enter the API login and key, and click on save.

Can you please add bit.ly API? Right now it’s using your API settings

@Benoit: I’ve added support for 3.ly in version 1.1.2

@kuber: please uninstall and reinstall version 1.1.2. I just checked twitter.com and the links are expanding properly. Did you enable the checkbox for Expand URLs in the extension options page? Let me know if it’s still not working for you.

I uninstalled 1.0 and reinstalled 1.1 (the page action one) from this page. The short url expander doesn’t work any more on twitter.com.
