An URL redirection/shortener plugin. Great for podcasting and redirecting affili
ate program URLs.
== Description ==
Have you ever had to give someone a shortened version of a URL? Maybe you're a p
odcaster, and you can't say "visit mydomain.com/2008/01/03/my-post-with-a-long-u
rl/ for more info." Wouldn't it be useful if you could just say "go to mydomain.
com/go/mycoolpost/ ?" Sure, you *could* use a service like tinyurl.com, but that
's still not too great if you need the URL for a podcast. It's still awkward to
read-out "tinyurl.com/27asr9," isn't it? It's less professional too. GoCodes let
's you create shortcut URLs to anywhere on the internet, right from your Wordpre
ss Admin. The plugin is also useful for masking affiliate program URLs.
== Installation ==
1. FTP the entire gocodes directory to your Wordpress blog's plugins folder (/wp
-content/plugins/).
2. Activate the plugin on the "Plugins" tab of the administration panel.
3. Refer to the usage section of this guide.

Upgrade notes:
* You may use the autmoated plugin updater in WordPress 2.5+ with this plugin,
but make sure you read the upgrade notes of the latest version after upgrading.
* If you are upgrading from GoCodes 1.1.1 or prior, remove the gocodes.php file
, and upload the new gocodes directory. To ensure compatibility with WordPress 2
.5, some changes were made that expect gocodes.php to reside in a /gocodes subdi
rectory
* If you are upgrading from a version prior to 1.2.1, you must update your .htac
cess file again. Change the line `RewriteRule ^go/([A-Za-z0-9]+)/?$ /index.php?g
ocode=$1 [L,R]` to `RewriteRule ^go/([a-zA-Z0-9_-]*)/?$ /index.php?gocode=$1 [L,
R]`.
* If you are upgrading from a version prior to 1.3.0, it is recommended that you
remove the old .htaccess lines as they are no longer required, and may interfer
e with some functionality.
