A Django application that adds an URL shortener to your site similar to bit.ly.
This is a fork of [django-tinylinks](https://github.com/bitmazk/django-tinylinks).
This project adds a REST API and integration with the [Piwik](http://piwik.org/) Open Analytics Platform.
You need to install the following prerequisites in order to use this app:
pip install Django==2.2
pip install urllib3==1.25.1
pip install djangorestframework==3.9.2If you want to install the latest stable release from PyPi:
$ pip install TODOAdd tinylinks to your INSTALLED_APPS:
INSTALLED_APPS = [
...,
'tinylinks',
]Add the tinylinks URLs to your urls.py:
urlpatterns = [
...
re_path(r'^s/', include('tinylinks.urls')),
]Don't forget to migrate your database:
./manage.py migrate tinylinksDefault: 6
Integer representing the number of characters for your tinylinks. This setting is used when the app suggests a new tinylink. Regardless of this setting users will be able to create custom tinylinks with up to 32 characters.
Default: 10
Number of minutes between two runs of the check command. This number should be big enough so that one run can complete before the next run is scheduled.
Default: 300
Number of minutes in which all URLs should have been updated at least once. If this is 300 it means that within 5 hours we want to update all URLs.
If TINYLINK_CHECK_INTERVAL is 10 it means that we will run the command every 10 minutes. Combined with a total time of 300 minutes, this means that we can execute the command 300/10=30 times during one period.
Now we can devide the total number of URLs by 30 and on each run we will update the X most recent URLs. After 10 runs, we will have updated all URLs.
Default: 10
Number of items to display on the list page '/s/list'.
Default: None
The Piwik ID for the of the website in which this app is installed. This should be easily found on the Settings page under the Websites menu.
Default: None
This is the URL at which your copy of Piwik is running.
Default: None
The API key provided by Piwik.
Default: None
The path for the MaxMind GeoIP data.
Just visit the root URL of the app. Let's assume you hooked the app into your urls.py at s/, then visit example.com/s/. You will see your tinylist overview. Go to example.com/s/create/ to see a form to submit a new long URL.
After submitting, you will be redirected to a new page which shows the generated short URL. If you want this URL to have a different short URL, just change the short URL to your liking.
Now visit example.com/s/yourshorturl and you will be redirected to your long URL.
If you want to export the data to Piwik, you will have to own a clean installation of it, so go and download it from (piwik.org)[http://piwik.org/] and then follow the (installation guide)[http://piwik.org/docs/installation-maintenance/].
The API is created using django rest framework and it has 6 resources at the moment.
/api/tinylinks/
The API allows you to retrievce, create, delete and update your tinylinks.
Creating and modifying tinylinks requires authentication and a valid csrf token.

# Fork this repository
# Clone your fork
$ mkvirtualenv -p python3.6 django-tinylinks
$ pip install -r requirements.txt
$ ./manage.py test
# You should get no failing tests
$ Run coverage to generate a .coverage file, then run
# coverage json
$ To generate a json file, and then run
# ./badgegen.py
$ To generate the badge
$ git co -b feature_branch master
# Implement your feature and tests
$ ./manage.py test
# You should still get no failing tests
# Describe your change in the CHANGELOG.txt
$ git add . && git commit
$ git push origin feature_branch
# Send us a pull request for your feature branchIf you are making changes that need to be tested in a browser (i.e. to the CSS or JS files), you might want to setup a Django project, follow the installation insttructions above, then run python setup.py develop. This will just place an egg-link to your cloned fork in your project's virtualenv.
