htaccess doesnt seem to work.

mindbuster · February 26th, 2005, 03:11 AM

I turned on the .htaccess in acp, but it seems ppl can still hotlink the images in my gallery.

I checked to see if the htaccess file is there and it is, but i went to a site who had been hotlinking to see if it worked, but the pics still showed up, even after i refreshed that page.

Lemme try posting a random pic from my gallery here...

Code:

Content visible to verified customers only.

See... it shows up eventhough the .htaccess file is in place

What could be wrong ?

This is the content of the .htaccess file that was created when i enabled the option in acp...

gallery/files

Code:

Content visible to verified customers only.

There's a fix for this problem. It wasn't creating the .htaccess file correctly.

Once you upload the current version of the file from here, be sure to save your options again (you may need to turn the htaccess option off and then back on) and that should take care of things.

Ahh, ok, funny i couldnt find it when i searched

...and as you can see by the red-x in first post it worked

Thanks.

/edit

umm, allow me to try once more....

Code:

Content visible to verified customers only.

Please lemme know if you see a red-x in this post, as my cache seems to mess it up, when i refresh it's red-x though, but when i just enter the thread i see the pic, but prolly from my cache.

If you search for a string that has a period in it, you have to put quotes around it. So searching for .htaccess won't, but ".htaccess" will.

And yep, Red X for me.

Red X here.

Isn't there a way to have any hotlinked image display a single image of your choice?

Yep. Not with the built in option though. (at least not yet)

It's goofing up again

Please see this thread on a site that hotlinks from my gallery...

5th post in this thread, if you rightclick and view source it says its located on my site

http://entropia-pioneers.kicks-ass.o...ic.php?t=24300

Here is the content of my Gallery/files/.htaccess file...

Code:

Content visible to verified customers only.

/edit
lemme try inserting a pic here from my gallery....

Code:

Content visible to verified customers only.

/Edit 2

yup, it shows up

Why are ppl able to hotlink ?

The file is not showing up here. The reason you see it is because it's in your browser cache.

Yes, i just cleared cache, and the pic i posted here is gone, but the pic in the thread i posted still shows the pic inside that thread eventhough i have cleared cache, and reading that thread noone is complaining about red-x

Do you see a red X in the thread i linked to above ? or do you see the pic ?

June 4th, 2005, 07:04 PM

Got an account I can log into that site with?

mindbuster · June 4th, 2005, 07:10 PM

I found the "error", the said pic is spelled with uppercase JPG instead lowercase jpg, obviously the htaccess file doesnt block when it's JPG.

I just renamed the pic to use lowercase jpg, and now it shows red-x

So, cant i just edit the htaccess file and insert uppercase formats next to the lowercase ?

I could, it's working now

Maybe adding to the vBa Gallery to add uppercase formats aswell as lowercase to the htaccess.

Others might have this problem. (without knowing)

There's a post regarding that in the bugs forum, and that should have been corrected in 1.0.0.

mholtum · June 5th, 2005, 01:29 AM

here is my .htaccess it displays an image of my choice... You can have alot of fun with this:

Code:

Content visible to verified customers only.

the red code is for the link to the image you wish to display.
