<h3>Developer Notes</h3>
<ul>
<li>Namespace: <code>Melk\\UrlShortenerByMelk</code>.</li>
<li>Unique prefix: all functions, options, meta keys and hooks use the <code>urlshbym_</code> prefix, following the WordPress Plugin Handbook recommendations to avoid naming collisions.</li>
<li>Options stored in the database:
<ul>
<li><code>urlshbym_enabled_post_types</code></li>
<li><code>urlshbym_enabled_taxonomies</code></li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>Meta keys:
<ul>
<li><code>_urlshbym_short_code</code> on posts</li>
<li><code>_urlshbym_short_code</code> on terms (taxonomies)</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>Database table: <code>{$wpdb->prefix}urlshbym_short_urls</code> is created on activation to store the mapping between short codes and objects.</li>
<li>Main hook:
<ul>
<li><code>urlshbym_short_url_clicked</code> — fired whenever a short URL is accessed, receiving the short code and the internal record ID.</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>Rewrite rules: short URLs are handled through a rewrite rule that maps patterns like <code>/abc12</code> to <code>index.php?urlshbym_short=abc12</code>.</li>
</ul>

Notice: I’ve have since stopped development of this plugin as I feel that the state of URL Shortening services seems to have converged and there isn’t much more progress I have in the pipeline for this plugin.
<a href="http://wiki.fusedthought.com/docs/url-shortener-wordpress-plugin" title="URL Shortener" rel="nofollow ugc">URL Shortener</a> allows you to generate shortlinks for post/pages using URL Shorteners (e.g. Bit.ly, Su.pr and many others), with a few additional features.
Please check your settings when upgrading to Version 4.0 from previous versions prior to it.
What’s New with 4.0
<ul>
<li>QR Code Support (using Google Chart API)</li>
<li>Additional Shorteners (Goo.gl, dlvr.it, yourls) </li>
<li>Nice ID links with QR Code (i.e. http://your_site/123.qr)</li>
<li>Version 4.0 features completely refactored code once again. Now includes classes which allows developers to easily extend the plugin.</li>
</ul>
Features:
<ul>
<li>Automatic generation of a Short URL/Shortlinks</li>
<li>Cached Shortlink – thus generated only once. </li>
<li>Choose to generate shortlinks using permalinks or the posts ID (e.g. http://your_site/index.php?p=123).</li>
<li>Relatively extensive shortlink support</li>
<li>Action Hooks available for other plugins to utilize generated shortlinks (From Ver 3.0 Onwards)</li>
<li>Nice ID links – http://your_site/123 instead of http://your_site/index.php?p=123</li>
<li>Shortcode support (Ver 3.1): Place [shortlink] in your article where you want to display the shortened url.</li>
<li>Append a link to short URL below your post content (Ver 3.1.1)</li>
