I think that in OmnomIRC our link to the rules is bit.ly and I am in favour of having links in that super cool omniurl.tk :)
I think it looks better, what do you think?
-
maybe, but omniurl.tk doesn't support that, does it? It only works for <omniurl.tk>/thread/message, right?

That's wrong:
We have omniurl.tk/en for logs :)

So it would seem. Well, I guess I'm for it. bit.ly is still smaller, though.

If I wanted something smaller, I'd use goo.gl but I want something customized.
-
Well, it's not overly small like goo.gl and bit.ly, but it does the job, IMHO. I like it.
And yeah, it works for:
omniurl.tk/<thread>/<message>
omniurl.tk/en
omniurl.tk/fr
Maybe Netham could make an URL shortening service for other Omnimaga-related links.
-
It also works with downloads and attachments
I think it's omniurl.tk/a, f and d
-
I like the idea of using omniurl.tk for all our important links :D
Maybe have omniurl.tk redirect to the home page?
-
Nah not the home page. I would prefer people still use omnimaga.org. Also on the forums and other forums, unless you need short links I would suggest using full links, to not hurt Google ranking.
-
I just added a poll so the admins have somewhat a source of the user's opinions.
-

Oh yeah, that's a good point. Omnimaga's already on top for many things, though, so omniurl might just tag along?
EDIT: Scout: Agree with what (in the poll)?
-

You could use a short help page on how to use omniurl.tk on the main page. Also, for Google rankings, I think it depends of the redirect type.
-
What I thought about was an Omniurl page where people can type a number or two to get to a download/post/topic, and a link to Omni below.
-
Yeah, good idea, you could paste a topic/post/download URL and it'll spit out a shortened URL. Would be nice.
-
Now my question is, most people seem to agree, will you (admins) change it?
-
I think omniurl.tk is Netham45's domain.

^this
I would if I could.
-
Yeah unfortunately no one other than Netham45 have access to it, and since he's extremly busy or has other interests nowadays it is not guaranteed the change will ever happen.

I made a quick URL generator here: http://julosoft.net/omniurl/
-
Nice, it would be good if it also did downloads, downloads file info pages and attachments.
-
Yeah, I'll work on it :)

Nice, it's really convenient :D Can I suggest putting the output in text box? That way it'd be easier to copy and paste the shortened URL.
-
Yeah, I thought of a copy to clipboard button, but seems there's no real command that works cross-platform.
Also, all the URL types (download, file info, attachments) works now.
-

What about outputting to a text box though? It would be easier to select everything in the text box.
And you could even do onclick="this.focus(); this.select()" to select everything automatically :D
-
Yeah, that could be nice. Just modified it to make use of textboxes. Also, thanks for the javascript snippet :P
-
It works :)
