This mod is no longer being supported by Arantor - I have taken it over, and am now actively supporting and developing it.


Summary

Provides the facility inside your forum to enable whitelists or blacklists for img tags, so that only set websites can be used, or set websites cannot be used.

For example, if you have your forum at mydomain.com/forum, and you want to restrict img use to only images hosted on mydomain.com and images.mydomain.com, you just add those two lines to the configuration and only those images will be displayed - all others just leave the URL present.

If you do not want to show images from a certain website, just set the mode to "Blacklist" and add the website to the configuration. All images will be shown except those from that website.

You can also put paths into it, for example, media.mydomain.com/images would restrict embedded images only to paths that started with media.mydomain.com/images/

The mod itself checks both http:// and https:// automatically, so you should leave this off from the entries in the whitelist.

Installation

Package Manager should work in most cases. If you need to make any edits, it will be limited to Subs.php - no theme changes are necessary.

Nice

When adding imageshack, I put  www.imageshack.us  in the AP, have also tried  imageshack.us, but it didnt work.
The urls for the images change before  imageshack.us

eg.
h**p://img20.imageshack.us/img20/4091/neuron129.jpg
h**p://img219.imageshack.us/img219/4892/forest100.jpg

Am I missing something?

Cheers

[Arantor]

No, applies on full domain, not partial domain, so you'd have to put in a line for every img entry in imageshack. It doesn't do matching on just any part of the URL, it only matches the start of the URL, meaning you'd have to whitelist every subdomain.

Yeah, I know, I was just seeing if you were going to change that, as imageshack is a popular host used by a vast number of 'net peeps'.
I personally couldn't afford to not let image shack be included.
Good idea though mate.

Cheers

[Arantor]

I'm not going to change it, no.

The reason is that all you'd have to do would be whitelist png, jpg, and gif and you suddenly make it near enough pointless.

It is a domain-only, or domain+path whitelist, and changing that considerably diminishes its effectiveness.

[qtime]

As a smf 1 user, you can imagine my question.... do you intend to make it available for smf1 as well?

[Arantor]

I have no plans to make this available to SMF 1.x. It does not have the infrastructure necessary for the user interface.

[qtime]

ok, thanks for reply and your good work!

[the7thGhost]

I've taken over this mod, so I'm now supporting it. Feature requests/bug reports should be put in at my site, not at Arantor's site, from now on.

[the7thGhost]

Version 1.3 released.

Now has a blacklist feature in addition to a whitelist.

Those who know other languages, please translate!

Code Select Expand

$txt['ihwl_title'] = 'Image Host Whitelist';
$txt['ihwl_select'] = 'Use the whitelist or the blacklist?';
$txt['ihwl_chooseone'] = 'Disabled';
$txt['ihwl_whitelist'] = 'Whitelist';
$txt['ihwl_blacklist'] = 'Blacklist';
$txt['ihwl_whitelist_long'] = 'The domain(s) you wish to allow images from <br />
e.g. website.com, or even website.com/directory<br />
<span class="smalltext">Add one per line, and do not add http:// at the start.</span>';
$txt['ihwl_blacklist_long'] = 'The domain(s) you do not wish to allow images from, e.g. website.com<br />
<span class="smalltext">Add one per line, and do not add http:// at the start.</span>';
Leave HTML code (everything in the carets (< and >) there, at the same part in the sentence.

English_british is the same as above.

[the7thGhost]

I'd guessed that, so I already had it as a language, but thanks for letting me know. Now I'm sure.

[Arantor]

Heh, very often they are the same, actually. I can only think of a very rare couple of times I had to make them different for any reason.

[qtime]

and an update to SMF 2.0 RC3  ?

The subs.php file is different

[the7thGhost]

I'm going to update this when I update Menu Order.
I was going to do it a while ago, but school assignments got in the way.
Now that I'm on spring break I'll be able ot update them.

[qtime]

Great, waiting, and I hope your school will be ok as well .

[the7thGhost]

Version 0.4 released!

It now supports SMF 2.0 RC3.
That's the only change, so if you're using RC2 you don't need to upgrade.

I need to do some more tests, but is hit working to block links (urls) in general or only the picture?

For example if I put rapidshare.com at the blacklist, or a few url's in the whitelist (not rs), is it possible to post a url to rapidshare.com ?

This mod only blocks images, not links.
