Using Short Links

This tutorial will help you integrate unique links into your blog, making your blog links more concise.

Integrating Short Links

Install the Hexo plugin:

npm install hexo-abbrlink --save

Modify the permalink in the _config.yml file:

permalink: posts/:abbrlink/     # Change to the desired link format, e.g., archives/:abbrlink.html

Then add the following settings:

# abbrlink configuration
abbrlink:
  alg: crc32      # Algorithm -- supports crc16 (default) and crc32
  rep: hex        # Base -- supports dec (default/decimal) and hex (hexadecimal)
  drafts: false   # (true) process drafts / (false) do not process drafts by default

Using Qexo for Automatic Filling

First, modify the article template scaffolds/post.md to include the abbrlink field:

---
title: {{ title }}
date: {{ date }}
updated: {{ date }}
abbrlink: {{ abbrlink }}
categories: 
tags: 
---

Next, adjust the Short Link Configuration in Qexo settings, aligning the algorithm and base with the above settings.

Now, try creating an article, and you’ll see that the abbrlink field is automatically filled in the article header.
