Update: URL Shortener Plugin v1.6

Due to a request by a user in the WordPress support forums, I’ve updated the URL Shortener plugin to include the awe.sm service as well…

At the same time, I’ve also updated the post activation hook to take into account scheduled posts. Previously, Short URLs were not generated when scheduled posts are published even though Short URL generation is set to auto in the settings page. This update fixes the above-mentioned issue.

The version number has also been bumped up to 1.6.

For now, I am still determined to have a central administration page for the Short URLs generated but there seems to be no simple way to do it… I’ll definitely want it in a future version.. If anybody has any ideas, please leave a comment…

In the meantime, do try out the updated plugin and give your feedback on the plugin support forum on any bugs or the awe.sm feature. I don’t have a permanent account at the awe.sm service, neither do I have access to their custom domain service… As such, I couldn’t conduct as many tests as I wanted…
