Prevent Hotlinking to Attached Files.

[Kays]

Yes, it could be Pretty URLs doing that since the deny image is in the themes folder.

Strange behavior.

Very useful mod!

Unfortunately I have a problem with it - Display.php generates and error:

8: Unidentified index: session_var

It happens around this area of the code:

Code Select Expand

if(isset($_REQUEST['image']) && (!isset($_REQUEST[$context['session_var']]) || $_REQUEST[$context['session_var']] != $context['session_id']))
redirectexit($settings['default_images_url'] . '/denied.png');

if(!isset($_REQUEST['id']) && isset($_REQUEST['type']) && $_REQUEST['type'] == 'avatar' && (!isset($_REQUEST[$context['session_var']]) || $_REQUEST[$context['session_var']] != $context['session_id']))
redirectexit($settings['default_images_url'] . '/denied.png');


My version of SMF is 2.0 RC2. The version of the mod is 1.1.

After installing the mod, I found a number of line 1233 errors in the log after someone had been trying to download/hotlink avatars. Is that supposed to happen, Kays?

[Kays]

@ Boby_.
Which line is it happening on?

@YogiBear.
What is the exact error?

Here it is, Kays.  I have disallowed hotlinking via the cpanel if that's relevant.

[Kays]

Thanks.

It looks like the same error which Boby_ is getting. I'll take a look into it.

I'm trying to update this mod to RC3, but have encountered a bug where images and attached avatars don't show for guests. And I just can't figure it out for now.

Great mod, I'd love to install it on our forum, however there is a small issue:

Is there a way to get it compatible with the Thumbnail Topic Mod? This displays a thumbnail of attached pictures on the topic list page, however with this mod installed the hot-linking denied picture is shown

Prolly the same issue as this post by Tiribulus?

[Kays]

That should just require a small change to that mod. I'll take a look into it.

I still haven't figured out the problem with image attachments not showing. I guess that this is next on my list.

I will install this once my facebook connect error is fixed!
