Feature #2705
closedcuny.is short URLs for users
0%
Description
This will require the implementation of the YOURLS plugin that I previously wrote, which adds the following functionality:
1. All users automatically receive a cuny.is URL based on their login name, and
2. Users will now see a 'cuny.is' section (or something like that) on their Settings page, which will allow them to request a new URL.
The plan is to have this feature ready to go for the 1.5.1 release. We need to include it in a release before we do a massive PR launch, because some testing in the production environment is necessary (there are some limitations to the testing we can do in cdev and other dev environments). The question remains whether we should allow (1) and (2) to be active for all users on the 1.5.1 release date. We could limit it to me (for the necessary testing), limit it to a whitelist of users (say, all members of our internal team), or not limit it at all, and consider it a soft launch.
Once this is implemented on cdev, I may ask for feedback on the UX for requesting a new URL.
One issue that is not addressed in the above is the display of the cuny.is short URL. It was not included in the original comp for the profiles. Adding Chris as a watcher for feedback on this point. This last bit is probably something that we do not want to launch widely with 1.5.1, as it's much more visible than the settings UI discussed above.
