Feature Request: Add ability to remove the /ss/ portion of the URL

[GitPuffy]

I would find it advantageous if I could have the /ss/ portion of the URL removed from the provided link. Only from the portion of the URL that the user gets in his copy buffer. Not necessarily from how your software works on the backside

Let me attempt to explain what I do

• I have a custom domain just to use with smoothshorts. It is not associated with my NodeBB forum or domain in anyway except that it is a Forced domain in the smoothshorts configuration.
• I have my Nginx configuration set to rewrite all shortdomain/ss/x URLS to my actual domain name (realforumdomain/ss/x) And this works today perfectly!
• I would like to have the ability that when a user copies a smoothshort link it would only be shortdomain/x. I would then have a Nginx rewrite rule that would turn that URL back into realforumdomain/ss/x

Thank you.

Alright, this should do the trick. :smile:

You can pull the 0.3.0-pre branch to test the feature. Feedback is appreciated. Especially on whether the automatic settings update is safe. Your former 'Forced Domain' setting should show up in the 'URL Format' field (given that the checkbox was checked, otherwise the value is ignored).

Your new changes work like a champ! Thank you. I'll keep testing new versions as you put them out.

And yes, my previous Forced Domain setting was retained. It actually contained my short domain the "/ss" path and then ":hash".

I've since changed it to just my shortdomain/:hash and it works just as I was hoping.

Yup, that was my plan. Keeping the domain/ss/:hash thing as default and let the admin change it as deemed fit. Thanks for testing! :smiley: :
