can't get url shortener to work [in Abrowser]

[LiohMoeller]

I am trying to get the url shortener to work. I have first just set:

$config['site']['qvitter']['urlshortenerapiurl'] = 'http://qttr.at/yourls-api.php'; $config['site']['qvitter']['urlshortenersignature'] = 'b6afeec983';

in the config which did not help. Then I followed the instructions in shortener.php which lead to the same result.

http://qttr.at/yourls-api.php doesn't work with most browsers if you're on https

shortener.php works on gnusocial.ch when i tried it: https://gnusocial.ch/local/plugins/Qvitter/shortener.php?format=jsonp&action=shorturl&signature=b6afeec983&url=https%3A%2F%2Fgnusocial.ch%2F

try adding https://gnusocial.ch/local/plugins/Qvitter/shortener.php as the urlshortenerapiurl

I have added that to the config. When I now click on the >url< button the wheel in the top bar starts spinning but nothing happens. Nothing special in the logs also.

can i get a test account on gnusocial.ch?

thanks. the shortener works for me. what browser are you using? what's the url you're trying to shorten?

[LiohMoeller]

I am using Abrowser (FF) on Trisquel 7. If the shortener works, does it work inline or is the URL shortened when the dent is sent out?

[hannesmannerheim]

it works inline, the urls present in the queets should be shortened and replaced

[LiohMoeller]

Here is an example I tried to shorten: http://www.linux-community.de/Internal/Nachrichten/VirtualBox-5.0-veroeffentlicht

[hannesmannerheim]

the url is shortened for me

so maybe it's the browser..

It was related to the RefControl Addon I am using. Thanks for verifying.

[hannesmannerheim]

ah great! i added some error reporting when shortening, so it was good this came up anyway.

Can you please point me towards the error reporting code? I have the same problem and I'm not using a RefControl addon.
