Short url issues

Seyi,

I am trying to use the short URL option but having problems. I have enabled Google API and I know that works because the "Download Email address from Google Mail" works.

In configuration/Invitation "Shorten registration url" is set to yes.

In Google developer I have the URL Shortner API enabled

The registration link that is being generated on the Invitation Form is:

https://test.ocularit.com/index.php?option=com_aworewards&task=register&Itemid=500&id=

As you can see the id is missing.  Also I expect the url to be much shorter.  Please advise.

By the way, I left the credentials that I sent you earlier today enabled in case you need to go back in and check this issue out.  Thanks.

Having a look now at AwoRewards on your site, and in admin there is another screen that is not listed in the links that shows you the users and their generated urls:

administrator/index.php?option=com_aworewards&view=user

And currently they all have their id missing, even after regenerating.  This seems to be an issue with php 7.  Will send you a fix privately.

For google short urls, first make sure urls are generated with ids.  I have tested this locally and it is working fine for me.  For short urls, google uses the API Key, so just verify this is correct.  I know it works, because I changed yours to my api key and regenerated the link for an account.  It worked fine, you can see it on the page mentioned above.  It is changed back now.

OK. Will review.

Seyi,

The ids are now being generated and I have double checked the Google api key (used copy/paste).  Could this be a PHP 7 issue?  The temporary account is still active.  Thanks.

No dont think it is a php issue.  As I mentioned, I did changed it to my API key and was able to generate without problems, so it must be something else.    It might be a permissions issue with google.  In your google developer console, check the dashboard and make sure url shortner api is enabled. 

Seyi,

As the following attachments show, I believe that I have Google configured correctly.

H'mm,

Looks like me screen images did not post.

Seyi,

Any other ideas that I can try?  I am unable to upload images of my Google Developer screen which would show that the API key and the short url API is enabled. I am at a lost what to do next.  The temporary account is still active for you.  Thanks.
