ShortLink Extension for BlogEngine

Extensions Tags

extension, blogengine.net, programming, c#

I have written an extension to allow you to convert short link displays to a real link. It makes it easier to write your posts / pages when you don't remember the exact link to say a google search page. The format would be something like this [ shortlink:google,Test,Test ] where the first field after the google word is the link text and the second word is the display text. Then in the ExtensionsManager you could create an entry like google and http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q={0}

When it serves the page if the body contains anywhere the word shortlink it then processes the short links against the rules you have setup. Please note that it is the very first draft of this extension. I think there are ways to make it more efficient, but for now I wanted to release it and see what people think.

No I do not believe that there is a similar extension for Wordpress, but there are various plugins to Wordpress that implement the same idea. I suggest looking http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/ I have been out of the loop for a while.
