a plugin for YOURLS by dgw

Description

Don't Track Admins checks to see if the user requesting a link is logged in to the YOURLS installation. If so, it short-circuits the click-tracking and redirect logging routines in YOURLS' redirect handler.

README Note

This README is a work in progress, in the same vein as the plugin.

Requirements

  • A YOURLS instance
    • All the server software required to run YOURLS
    • At least version 1.7.1 of YOURLS

That's it. Don't Track Admins doesn't need anything fancy in your server configuration.

Installation

Two easy ways of installing Don't Track Admins on your YOURLS site: Git or FTP

Via Git (simplest)

  1. SSH into your server and cd [YOURLS_ROOT]/user/plugins
  2. git clone https://github.com/dgw/yourls-dont-track-admins.git dont-track-admins
  3. Activate the plugin from the YOURLS dashboard

Updating is also really simple: Just git pull origin to update the plugin.

Via FTP (more leg work)

  1. Download the latest Don't Track Admins release
  2. Unzip the archive
  3. Upload the plugin folder to [YOURLS_ROOT]/user/plugins
  4. Activate the plugin from YOURLS' dashboard
