			<h2>Plugins for YOURLS</h2>
			
			<h3>Plugins?</h3>
			<p>Plugins are additional PHP scripts that extend the functionalities or features of YOURLS. The core of YOURLS is designed to be as light as possible and avoid bloat (implementing functions not everybody needs) and to allow for easy customization.</p>
			<p>Using the plugin architecture, you can add new features to YOURLS without having to modify core files. This way, your changes won't be lost when you upgrade your YOURLS installation.</p>
			<p>There's a growing number of plugins available: check the <a href="http://yourls.org/pluginlist">Plugin list</a>.</p>

			<h3>Documentation</h3>
			<p>Several sample plugins are included in the archive. Read the source and learn the concept. It's easy and fun!</p>
			<p>Check the <a href="http://yourls.org/pluginapi">plugin API documentation</a> to learn more</p>

		<!-- FAQ Instructions -->	
		<div id="FAQDiv" style="display: none;">
			<h2>FAQ</h2>

			<h3>Server requirements</h3>
			<ol>
				<li>A server with <strong>mod_rewrite</strong> enabled</li>
				<li>At least <strong>PHP 4.3</strong></li>
				<li>At least <strong>MYSQL 4.1</strong></li>
				<li><em>Note</em>: YOURLS can also run on <a href="http://foolrulez.org/blog/2009/08/foolz-us-make-yourls-work-on-ngin/">Nginx</a> and <a href="http://www.ututech.com/2010/10/configuring-yourls-to-work-with-cherokee-web-server/">Cherokee</a></li>
			</ol>

			<h3>Server recommendations</h3>
			<ul>
				<li>PHP <a href="http://www.php.net/curl">CURL extension</a> installed if you plan on playing with the API</li>
			</ul>
			
			<h3>Limitations</h3>
			<ul>
				<li>Maximum length of long URLs to be shortened is <strong>2000 characters</strong></li>
				<li>Maximum length of custom keyword is <strong>200 characters</strong></li>
				<li>That makes about <strong>8 sexdecillions of centillions</strong> of available URLs (<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Names_of_large_numbers">seriously</a>. That's a 355 digits number). </li>
			</ul>
			
			<h3>Difference Between Base 36 And Base 62 Encoding</h3>
			<ul>
				<li>Base 36 encoding uses <code>0123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz</code> for short URLs</li>
				<li>Base 62 encoding uses <code>0123456789ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZabcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz</code></li>
				<li>Stick to one setting, don't change after you've created links as it will change all your short URLs!</li>
				<li>Base 36 is the default and should be picked if you're not sure.</li>
			</ul>
			
			<h3>Getting a short domain name for your YOURLS install</h3>
			<ul>
				<li>Unless you plan on making it public and popular, any shared hosting should be fine</li>
				<li><a href="http://domai.nr/">Domainr</a> is a fun search tool that might inspire and help you</li>
				<li>Aim for exotic top level domains (.in, .im, .li ...), they're often cheap and a lot are still available. <a href="https://www.gandi.net/domain/buy/search/">Gandi</a> is a pretty comprehensive registrar, for instance.</li>
			</ul>

			<h3>YOURLS needs its own .htaccess</h3>
			<ul>
				<li>You cannot install YOURLS and, say, WordPress, in the same directory. Both need to handle URLs differently and need their own <tt>.htaccess</tt> file.</li>
				<li>If you want to install YOURLS on the same domain than your blog, give it its own (short) subdirectory, such as yourblog.com/s/ (for "short") or yourblog.com/x/ (for "exit")</li>
			</ul>
			
			<h3>If YOURLS generates 404 for your short URLs</h3>
			<ul>
				<li>Make sure <strong>mod_rewrite</strong> is enabled with your Apache server</li>
				<li>Make sure your .htaccess file looks like <a href="http://yourls.org/htaccess">this one</a></li>
			</ul>
			
			<h3>There is no index page at the root of the install</h3>
			<ul>
				<li>Indeed. It's intented. It's up to the user to make what they need. Some will redirect the root to a different place, some make a public interface for anyone to shorten links, some make a portfolio. You make it.</li>
				<li>If you want to make a public interface, there's a sample file provided as an example.</li>
			</ul>
			
			<h3>Feedback, feature requests and bug reporting</h3>
			<ul>
				<li>Please don't get in touch directly by mail or Twitter. <a href="http://yourls.org/support">Please</a>.</li>
				<li>Check the <a href="http://yourls.org/roadmap">Road Map</a> for future features.</li>
				<li>Read all the <a href="http://yourls.org/wiki">wiki documents</a>.</li>
				<li>Search in the <a href="http://yourls.org/closedissues">closed issues</a>.</li>
				<li>Eventually raise an <a href="http://yourls.org/issues">issue here</a> and give all the details. Thanks!</li>
