Bitly Links are Not Working within Local Install about cbioportal

[ecerami]

This is occurring because bitly refuses to shorten URLs that start with localhost. I have updated the wiki docs to explain this...

Docs now say:

To obtain a bitly username and key, first register at: https://bitly.com/

Then, go to: https://bitly.com/a/your_api_key

Note: If you are developing on a local machine, and using localhost, the bitly URL shortening service will not work. This is because bitly will not shorten URLs for localhost. Once you deploy to your final server, the issue should go away.
