UnPS-Short
|
|
==========
|
|
|
|
Link Shortener for UnPS-GAMATechnologies - located at http://unps.us
|
|
|
|
This is a complete rewrite of shortv3 (which can be found at https://github.com/alopexc0de/GAMA-Site/tree/master/short), codenamed shortv4-2.
|
|
|
|
Shortv4 was an effort to design a new front end, add a few features, and move from the depreciated mysql_* functions to mysqli_*
|
|
It was ultimatly scrapped due to a very poor interface design and I was generally displeased with it.
|
|
|
|
On July 18th, 2013 I started a new project, the UnPSAPI (https://github.com/alopexc0de/UnPS-API) and the next day I pushed that to github
|
|
The api is being designed to handle the main functions of my services (existing and planned) and still needs a lot of work before production.
|
|
The api does have a few functions that were meticulously coded and tested constantly that are ready, and that is the shortv4 code.
|
|
|
|
UnPS-Short (Shortv4-2, the 2 signifying it was rewritten again with almost exact backend code) is using a local, watered down version of the UnPSAPI to get around the fact that the api is currently not active.
|
|
|
|
I coded this for simplicity (and it also gave me a great learning experiance with jQuery).
|
|
(The key in the file process.php will not be a valid key when the api is introduced)
