# CakePHP YOURLS Plugin
* Author: Adriano Luís Rocha ([email protected])
* Version: 1.0
* license: MIT

# Install and Setup
First add this repository as git submodule in your CakePHP project:

git submodule add https://github.com/adrianoluis/CakePHP-YOURLS-Plugin.git APP/Plugin/Yourls
git submodule update --init

Once installed you'll need to create a file `/APP/Config/yourls.php`. You can find an example of what you'll need and how it is laid out in `/Yourls/Config/yourls.php.example`.

//app/Config/yourls.php
$config = array(
'Yourls' => array(
'url' => 'YOURLS_URL',
'username' => 'YOURLS_USERNAME',
'password' => 'YOURLS_PASSWORD',
)
);

# Usage
You can call the component from any action in a controller or automate url shortening just using the follow code in your `/APP/Controller/AppController.php`:

public function beforeRender() {
$this->shortIt = true;
$this->pageTitle = 'your url title goes here'
}

PS: is necessary to provide a title for shorter method otherwise it will go in a infinite loop trying to resolve URL's title using YOURLS internal libs.

Than from yout view, access the shorted url using:

To get statistics from all your links you need to choose between json or xml. This new setup changes the return from shorturl method.

public $components = array(
'Yourls.Yourls' => array(
'format' => 'xml'
)
);
