YOURLS-Expiry

YOURLS plugin to define conditions under which links will expire - time and click limited links

Installation

MASTER branch of this plugin works with YOURLS 1.7.10 +
There is a separate branch for 1.7.9

As any YOURLS plugin:

• Extract the expiry folder from this repo, and place it at user/plugins/expiry
• Enable in admin area

Notes:

• The databse ought to create itself, if not, there is an sql file in the expiry/assets folder, make sure to add your database prefix where necessary.
• If upgrading from 2.1.x of this plugin to 2.2.x, set define( 'EXPIRY_DB_UPDATE', true ); in config.php for one page load in order to update the database, otherwise this plugin will not work.

What's Working:

• add per-link and/or global time based or click count limited links
• update links already in database to have expiration conditions
• upon shorturl expiration:
  • delete from YOURLS
  • update short url's with an optional per link or global secondary URL
• robust admin area features
  • optionally highlight expiry links in admin interface
  • seperate page to list all expiry links with details (time left, etc)
  • one-click management of expiry data, bulk or individual
  • admin page action link button
  • expiry data on admin page under share box
  • expiry functions in admin filtered by AuthMgrPlus, if installed
• robust api interface (documentation provided)
  • add and update individual links with precise detail
  • manage database with a cron call (pre-formatted example provided)
    • prune expired links that haven't been visited in a while, etc.
  • get precise individual url expiry info
• cli interface for pruning
• add expiry data in various ways
  • via public interface (new url)
  • via regular admin new url form (new url)
  • via expiry page (old url)
    • directly or by way of admin area action link button

CLI:

To use the cli prune options, execute the /PATH/TO/YOURLS/user/plugins/expiry/bin/prune.inc.php script with the appropriate permissions. This script requires a valid yourls signature, and accepts a scope option which can be any of the following:

These options are the same as the api options.

example use:

$ php /PATH/TO/YOURLS/user/plugins/expiry/bin/prune.inc.php --signature=blah0blah1 --scope=expired

Look to the first lines in prune.inc.php to adjust php memory and timeout limits for larger databases or Docker installations with limited memory. Disabled by default.

Note:

Uses code adapted from the Change Error Msgs plugin.
