I know we have a 6.x ticket open for this, but would it be possible to have Shurly auto generate a short URL for every new node? We'd like to be able to display and leverage this at the bottom of every node so that users could copy/paste it out into the app of their choice, and to use with twitter/facebook/etc, automatically.

I did this very thing with 6.x and Shorten. http://drupal.org/node/958034#comment-4308898

I set up my 'ShURLy Server' as a separate site as recommended in the docs, and used Shorten on the parent site. Works really nice. Haven't had the need to upgrade the ShURLy site to 7, but if you've got one running try Shorten to pull in your 'shorts'.

The Shorten integration with ShURLy solved this for me as well. It creates the short url (from another site running ShURLy) on node save. Although I don't know how to leverage that newly generated link to display in the node. I'm using the Service_Links project for that task for social sharing with the shortened links.

Using shorten with ShURLy resolve the issue.

I am using shurly auto. But it is generating short urls for all the content types though I have selected selected only one node type "press-releases" in the configuration.

Now for each and every new node (irrespective of the content type),myurls list is growing as there is a short url generated for each new node.

Please advice in fixing this issue. Any help is highly appreciated.

Thanks
