Tryton is a high-level general purpose application platform. It is the base of a complete business solution as well as a comprehensive health and hospital information system (GNUHealth).

The web_shortener module allows URLs to be shortened. It counts the number of times the URL is accessed and optionally triggers action.

The module defines a route `/s/` which will redirect the queries to the URL registered previously with `ShortenedURL.get_url`.

Models that need to be callable from a shortened URL must define the method `shortened_url_execute`. This class method will be called from the underlying queue with the record and the keywords arguments transmitted when calling `get_url`.

Shortened URL *************

- Shortened URL: The shortened URL - Redirect URL: The URL the request is redirected to - Record: The record on which `method` will be executed - Method: The name of the method to call on `record` - Count: The number of times this shortened URL has been triggered

Configuration *************

The web_shortener modules uses the parameter from the section:

- `[web]`:

- `shortener_base`: The base URL without path for shortened URL. The default value is composed with the configuration `[web]` `hostname`.
