Hi,
I have created a plugin for an open-source link shortener (Yourls) so it does the following:
You insert Long Url, it creates Short Url.
When the Short Url is visited, what is displayed is the Long Url page in an iFrame, and a Content Locker.
At the moment, I'm displaying a locker which is called via javascript, as Content Lock Pro (The Next Generation of Lockers, available here in BST) is my product.
However, in "your" plugin, you could call any javascript you wish, allowing you to do ALL SORTS of things.
Fast ideas which come to mind...
1. If you have CLP, operate your shortener, get people to shorten links, but "disable" the locker within CLP. Once links are popular and in use, "enable" the locker.
2. If you don't have CLP (why haven't you got it yet? ), do as step 1, but deactivate the plugin until things are popular, and then, activate it.
They're just the easiest uses for this, but, we're BlackHatters here, surely there is no "box"?
Anyway, as the title says - post replies mentioning whether or not you want this (will be a "free" release, in the spirit of "giving back" to BHW), and, of course, post what your own thoughts are for possible uses.
Inspiring posts with methods which would use this plugin, and which would be helpful to others, will find a copy of the plugin in their PM inbox, as a direct Thank You from me
