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:

Mi piacerebbe questa funzionalità, soprattutto se potessi:

  1. Personalizzare anche lo slug che segue il dominio, ad esempio to.example.com/ep1 e ancora meglio se potessi personalizzarlo con barre oblique, to.example.com/show/ep1

  2. Avere più domini brevi diversi, ad esempio to.example.com e test.com che puntano entrambi alla stessa pagina del forum.

Detto questo, immagino che entrambi possano essere eccessivi e se potesse essere solo un abbreviatore automatico, to.discourse.org/hwu79, probabilmente lo apprezzerei comunque… anche se amerei le due opzioni sopra :smiling_face:
