permalink / shortlink modules?

[bupaje]

Way back there use to be a permalink and later a shortlink module if I remember to shorten unwieldy links. I was looking at the download links and they work fine on the download page of my site but if I want to share a link I'd love to have an alternate link (or a way to reduce the Download Gallery links).

Here is a current example

https://www.enduracladcoatings.com/modules/download_gallery/dlc.php?id=00648E8

and be nice to simplfy that to something like

https://enduracladcoatings.com/d/id=00648E8


Thanks,

Burt

Das Basis Short Url bezieht sich auf den Pages Ordner. Modules Link sind im Moment noch nicht für short urls vorgesehen

Hi, take a look here.

This, to me, is the most ideal solution to what you are looking for. Works for me ever since.

It will not work for him because he also needs to redirect url from /modules/download_gallery/ to /d/ and also ID in url (filename should be "id=123456.php", second filename id=345678.php etc)

It can be done manually if he has few files but for big library best is to redirect like I posted few posts above

Thanks very much @crnogorac081. I didn't get it to work after a few tries so I installed YOURLS in a subdirectory and was able to generate short links with that. I don't anticipate more than 30-40 files and they won't change very often if ever so this will fit my need. I do appreciate every one's willingness to help though. This is still a great forum after all these years.
