Version: 1.1 (using KDE 4.6.5) OS: Linux I'm using bit.ly as URL shortening service and recently wanted to connect URL's shortened in choqok to my account by using my bit.ly api login. The problem is, that the choqok doesn't allow me to input needed characters into the "Bit.ly Login" box. On the info page https://bitly.com/a/your_api_key I've got my login and API key, but when I try to copy&paste or rewrite the login, I can't input the underscore "_". The validation then fails. Reproducible: Didn't try Steps to Reproduce: Try to input your API login&key for the bit.ly service in the settings. Actual Results: You can't input the login name with all necessary symbols. Expected Results: You can input it. Tested on version 1.1.5+git20110825-1.
I can't exactly program in C/C++, but I think I've found out the responsible line in: sourcepkg/plugins/shorteners/bit_ly/bit_ly_config.ccp This seems to be regexp for login: QRegExp rx( "([a-z0-9]){4,32}", Qt::CaseInsensitive ); And this for API key: rx.setPattern("([a-z0-9_]){1,40}"); So basicly, isn't the underscore missing in the first line? :)
Seems that there is something more fishy going around - I've changed the regexp, recompiled and even after that I can't input it in configuration! However, in the process I've found a quick&funny workaround - just edit the .kde/share/config/choqokrc file and fill in this section: [Bit.ly Shortener] api_key= domain=bit.ly login= And enjoy!
Is the underscore in your login name? Are you sure? I just tried to create an account with mtux_test name, and it says that: Your username can contain only letters and numbers. It must be 4-32 characters in length. And yes, there's an underscore in your API key, and there's no problem on adding it and setting up your account (I just did it!)
Ok, little bit of misunderstanding here. There are actually 4 pieces of login information: login, password, API username and API key. To use the bit.ly module, you need to enter the API username + key. However, the API username is different than the username. You can get those on the "your_api_key" page on bit.ly. For example: username: foobar API username: o_3ubqglab1 API key: R_blahblahblah So yes, there is actually underscore in username, which is used for API calls. I tried to use service username (eg. foobar) instead of API username in the input, but this fails validation.
