I've noticed this template variable.

What is the actual URL? http://{$jamroom_url}/{$page_short_url} doesn't work.

Not a variable that comes from us, try one of the other developers.

I don't believe I have any other developers' modules installed. I'm thinking the url comes from the ShareThis module. It looks like the url it shares has a variable that looks like the values $page_shot_url contains.

ShareThis does have a URL shortner (specifically for it's own use in OG Tags - it's not for use out side the module) but it does not expose that as a variable you can use.

$page_short_url shows up in the debug list. I've started using pages more and was just curious what this was.

Its being created by jrShareThis for all datastore items by prefixing their db name:
jrCore_db_update_item($module, $item_id, array("{$pfx}_short_url" => $hash));

The actual url will depend on what the url of the page you're actually after is.

It is designed for use in the OG tags when sharing via ShareThis - it's not been designed as a "general" URL shortener.

The url http://domain.com/sharethis/BUXnnC2b does work though.

You work magic even when you don't mean to, I guess.
