Shorten Field

A Symphony CMS field that shorten entry ids to tiny alphanumeric strings (like u8X). You could build, for example, your own in-site url shortener service having urls like $root/u8X. How cool is that?

This is based on the Entry URL Field by Nick Dunn.

Use

This field just stores an unique alpha-numeric short identifier for each of your entry. It used to perform redirect too, but I felt that would have required an extension of its own because there are quite a few use cases that have to be adressed.
