Hello,

I am using addthis on http://dealhotspots.artomus.com/ i want to Shortening the current url using bit.ly

i already configured the setting according to http://support.addthis.com/customer/portal/articles/381247-url-shortening#shortening-bitly


WHAT I DID:
1> open a addthis account
2> open a bit.ly account (using fbconnect)
3> grab the api key (from https://bitly.com/a/settings/advanced under "Legacy API Key") and put this API key to : addthis settings > profile ( url like - https://www.addthis.com/settings/profile?id=XXXXXXXX) under "Bit.ly Shortener Settings" in "Bit.ly API Key:" field. and on the same page "Bit.ly Login:" field i put my login email ( like - "ruzabcd@gmail.com" )
4> create a Shortening link for http://dealhotspots.artomus.com/ in https://bitly.com/

5> now get the code from addthis.com for google+, twitter, facebook, pinterest i got code like -

<!-- AddThis Button BEGIN -->
<div class="addthis_toolbox addthis_default_style ">
<a class="addthis_button_facebook_like" fb:like:layout="button_count"></a>
<a class="addthis_button_tweet"></a>
<a class="addthis_button_pinterest_pinit"></a>
<a class="addthis_counter addthis_pill_style"></a>
</div>
<script type="text/javascript">var addthis_config = {"data_track_addressbar":true};</script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="http://s7.addthis.com/js/250/addthis_widget.js#pubid=ra-6ff1688a61093456"></script>
<!-- AddThis Button END -->


when i place this into my account and try to share the link which is placed also on bitly.com but i dont get the Shortening url .

Thanks
Ruzdi

Hi Rudzi, using your own bitly credentials is only compatible with the regular Twitter share button "addthis_button_twitter". Unfortunately, the "Tweet" button is actually Twitter's native Tweet button which auto-detects the URL of the page so we can't shorten your URL for you. If you change "addthis_button_tweet" to "addthis_button_twitter" it should start working they way you expect. I hope this makes sense, please let me know if you have any other questions.

Sol
