Mini URLs for the Mabinogi community

MabiWorld provides mini URLs for the greater Mabinogi community. Didn't know? Check it out here!

This is the code to both make the URLs and perform the redirections. Currently this does not involve generating novel minified URLs, if you want that try bitly or similar services.

This service, then, performs jumps based on existing identifiers so no URLs actually have to be generated and all existing pages* on supported websites automatically have a URL.
*Note: Such pages must be part of a supported subsystem, too.

How to register your site

  1. First make sure your pages have a numerical identifier. Wikis' have to be retrieved from the API but most forums include it in the URL.
  2. Then you can report in a ticket or make the changes yourself.
    • In a ticket you must report:
      1. What possible URLs there can be.
      2. How to retrieve the ID, what the ID is, etc.
      3. How to access the pages with only the ID.
    • If you do it yourself:
      1. You should make a URL identifier of the form isSitenameSubsystem where Sitename is the website name (or a reasonable shorthand) and Subsystem is what the set of pages represent, such as Thread.
      2. Then you should make a mini maker of the form makeSitenameSubsystem that calls a setLink("x" + real2mini(ID)) where x is the one-character identifier for your website. It may be a letter or number and is case-sensitive; obviously it must also not already be in use.
      3. Lastly, add a check to the list in minify.
      4. Now make a pull request for your changes and we'll take a look!
  3. Wait for us to deploy it, then you can add some code to show the links on your site.
