Can't install via Plugin Manager?

If YOURLS doesn't have write permissions on the plugins directory, Plugin Manager will show an error like “Automatic installation is not possible because YOURLS cannot write to …/user/plugins”. In that case you can install manually over SSH — run these commands inside your plugins directory:

SSH
1wget -O YOURLS-AlternativeIndex-1.0.4.zip "https://api.github.com/repos/gioxx/YOURLS-AlternativeIndex/zipball/1.0.4"
2unzip YOURLS-AlternativeIndex-1.0.4.zip
3rm -rf YOURLS-AlternativeIndex/
4mv gioxx-YOURLS-AlternativeIndex-*/ YOURLS-AlternativeIndex/
5rm YOURLS-AlternativeIndex-1.0.4.zip

Alternatively, download the ZIP above, extract it locally and upload the folder via FTP/SFTP.

Changelog

What's changed

  • Full i18n: all visible admin panel strings are now wrapped in `yourls__()` — panel headings, field labels, hints, toggle labels, button text, flash messages, error messages
  • Complete Italian locale: `languages/yourls-alternative-index-it_IT.po` + `.mo` with 70 translated strings covering the entire admin UI
  • Italian menu label: the plugin link in YOURLS admin reads Pagina profilo alternativa (the plugin name YOURLS Alternative Index is unchanged everywhere else)
  • Update notice: banner strings (New version available, View details on GitHub) are now also translatable
  • Boot function: single `yai_boot()` on `plugins_loaded` guarantees the textdomain is loaded before any `yourls__()` call
  • Update check: simplified per-request static cache (no persistent DB layer)
