I've noticed that on the wiki.developer.mindtouch.com website that there is a small link in the upper right hand corner of pages which lists a tinyurl for that page. For example:

Permalink: http://tinyurl.com/55uj8n

This is a nice feature which offers a quick shortened link for that page.

Is this an extension for MindTouch Deki? How is this link generated and inserted?

It's executed using DekiScript; you can see the source at: http://wiki.developer.mindtouch.com/...mplate:TinyUrl

We then used global templates to include it on every page.

This is the php version for e.g. Ace.php:

<div class="tinyurl">
	Permalink: 
	<?php $tinyUrl = file_get_contents("http://tinyurl.com/api-create.php?url=" . $wgTitle->getFullURL() ); ?>
	<a href="<?php echo($tinyUrl); ?>" rel="custom"><?php echo($tinyUrl); ?></a>
</div>

Format the class tinyurl to your liking (color, position, etc.). E.g. we are using this for our customized version of the Ace skin in common.css:

div.tinyurl {
	float: right;
	color: #CDD2DE;
	font-size: 10px;
	padding: 8px 12px;
}
div.tinyurl a {
	color: #CDD2DE !important;
	text-decoration: none;
}

I've also created a sample DekIScript page for it:

I'd really like to implement this on our Deki, it would be a great feature.

Thanks for the code, it works well when I add it to a page. However, I don't know how to add it to a global template so that it appears on every page. The code from merktnichts above is for a particular skin, but could it go in a more generic location?

If anyone could advise where to add the code so it gets included in every page that would be great.

scop, you should be able to put the snippet I posted in august into every skin you like.
You'll be doing the formatting using css anyway, so just open the php file for the skin of your liking and paste the php snippet to a suitable place. As you're gonna see the results immediately, it shouldn't be a hard job.
