API

This plugin offers the classes cApiShortUrlCollection and cApiShortUrl which allow for creating and validating short URIs.

Create a short URI

The class cApiShortUrlCollection offers the method create() which expects at least a short URI which is given as first parameter $uri. The latter parameters ($idart, $idlang, $idclient) are optional and are taken from cRegistry (getArticleId(), getLanguageId() and getClientId() respectivly) if not set.

$coll = new cApiShortUrlCollection();
/** @var cApiShortUrl */ $item = $coll->create($uri, $idart, $idlang, $idclient);

// validate short uri
$shortUrlItem->isValidShortUrl($myShortUri);

Validate a short URI

In order to check if an URI is a valid short URI you can use the collections method isValidShortUrl() which expects an URI as single parameter. The check will be performed with the following criteria:

• given url is not a directory in the client folder
• given url respects minimum length
• given url contains only valid characters
• given url is not an article or category alias

$coll = new cApiShortUrlCollection();
$coll->isValidShortUrl($uri);

This method returns either true or an errorcode:

• cApiShortUrlCollection::ERR_IS_CLIENT_FOLDER
• cApiShortUrlCollection::ERR_TOO_SHORT
• cApiShortUrlCollection::ERR_INVALID_CHARS
• cApiShortUrlCollection::ERR_IS_ARTICLE_ALIAS
