Possible to configure shareable hyperlinks w/ different domain

Hi there,

Let’s say I have a flourishing forum at discourse.example.com and I also have a nice shortened domain like link.io. Is it possible to configure discourse to use the shortened domain for shareable hyperlinks?

Thanks for the great software!

Not at the moment, but I feel like if you are going for shortened links under the :chains: icon you would probably want to go all the way.

Could be something like:

So the actual feature you would want is automatic integration of a custom link shortener.

Yeah, now that you mention it, you’re right. A custom link shortener is what I’m asking. Obviously not necessary, but it would be super cool, especially since a lot of the links on subdomains can get rather lengthy.

Because this now smells like a feature request, would you like me to recategorize this topic under feature?

I was planning on opening a thread about suggesting this exact feature, but saw that one actually existed.

How’s the project doing? :content:

I’d really love to have this here :content:

I would love this feature, especially if I could:

  1. Also customize the slug that comes after the domain, eg, to.example.com/ep1 and even better if I can customize it with slashes, to.example.com/show/ep1

  2. Have multiple different short domains, eg, to.example.com and test.com both link to the same forum page.

That being said, I imagine both of those may be above and beyond and if it can just be an automatic shortener, to.discourse.org/hwu79 then I’d probably still appreciate it…although I’d love the two options above :smiling_face:
