• In a console, from your project root dir, run:

git clone git://github.com/ornicar/dmBitLyPlugin.git plugins/dmBitLyPlugin  

• In config/ProjectConfiguration.class.php, add dmBitLyPlugin to the list of enabled plugins:

class ProjectConfiguration extends dmProjectConfiguration
{  
  public function setup()  
  {  
    parent::setup();  
 
    $this->enablePlugins(array(  
      // your enabled plugins  
      'dmBitLyPlugin'  
    ));  

• In a console, from your project root dir, run:

php symfony doctrine:generate-migrations-diff  

php symfony doctrine:migrate  

php symfony dm:setup  

Configuration

Get a login and an api key at http://bit.ly/account/register?rd=/
And configure the service with them:
config/dm/services.yml

parameters:  
  bit_ly_api.login:       mylogin  
  bit_ly_api.api_key:     R_fd1ff8d93e3a646myapikey  

Usage

Shorten a url:

$shortUrl = $this->getService('bit_ly_api')->shorten($longUrl);

The first time, a request will be sent to bit.ly, to get the short url. Then it's stored in your database, and next time there will be no more external call.
