Query String Keeper plugin for YOURLS

Description

By default, YOURLS ignores query string parameters on shorturls. For example:

https://sho.rt/1?param=value redirects to https://example.com/longurl/here

This plugin modifies this behavior so that the entire query string is appended onto the longurl. For example, with this plugin activated:

https://sho.rt/1?param=value redirects to https://example.com/longurl/here?param=value

Blacklisted parameters

In order to maintain compatibility with the internet at large, this plugin does not pass along Facebook's fbclid parameter if it is present. This parameter is known to cause some websites to erroneously generate a 404 Not Found error.

If you'd like to modify this blacklist, please see the ozh_kqs_yourls_add_query_arg() function in plugin.php.

Installation

1. In /user/plugins, create a new folder named yourls-keep-query-string.
2. Drop these files in that directory.
3. Go to the Plugins administration page (e.g. https://sho.rt/admin/plugins.php) and activate the plugin.
4. Have fun!
