When attempting a new short url, YOURLS default behavior is to simply send out an error message:
- whenever a requested custom keyword already exists in the database
- when a url already exists in the databse and
define( 'YOURLS_UNIQUE_URLS', true );
is set inconfig.php
This plugin changes that behavior and the content of those messages so that:
- If a keyword already exists, the error message will display the URL for that keyword.
- If the URL already exists, its shortened url will be returned and the share box will be displayed.
This also works so that the API returns postive values as well.
