deny direct access to SMF

[Gianni_T]

Hi all,
how can I deny direct access to my SMF and allow only to see it wrappend in Mambo?

[xenovanis]

Enter this at line 1 of smf's index.php:

Code Select Expand


defined( '_VALID_MOS' ) or die( 'Direct Access to this location is not allowed.' );


[Gianni_T]

Enter this at line 1 of smf's index.php:

Code Select Expand


defined( '_VALID_MOS' ) or die( 'Direct Access to this location is not allowed.' );


Does this trick works also for attached files?

Does this trick works also for attached files?

I dont know, just try it out. 

[Gianni_T]

Ok, tnks!

You might try this, if you want to display avatars in your login box:

Code Select Expand

if (strpos($_SERVER['QUERY_STRING'], 'dlattach') === false)
{
defined('_VALID_MOS') or die('Direct Access to this location is not allowed.');
}

Is this literally line one above the file info stuff or just at the start of the actual code.

[xenovanis]

It's just this peace of code, you'd better use the one Chadness posted in the post above you. You'll need to add  it in your SMF's index.php on line 2 just after

Code Select Expand

<?php

And not on line 1, as I said earlier.

[Firefrog]

Thanks I'll will try it.

i have anothe rquestion, first, i wanted to say this little code has been working great! thank you!
now, instead of showing a message, is there a way to redirect automaticaly the direct access and send them to the actual main index ?

how would i go and do this? thanks a bunch!!!

[Aravot]

I am interested in this too

[Orstio]

Code Select Expand

if (strpos($_SERVER['QUERY_STRING'], 'dlattach') === false)
{
if(!defined('_VALID_MOS')){ redirectexit('http://www.where-you-want-to-go.com/folder',false); }
}

[Nitro]

Code Select Expand

if (strpos($_SERVER['QUERY_STRING'], 'dlattach') === false)
{
if(!defined('_VALID_MOS')){ redirectexit('http://www.where-you-want-to-go.com/folder',false); }
}

this code gave me en error:

Code Select Expand



Fatal error: Call to undefined function: redirectexit() in /homepages/20/d107436098/htdocs/bb/bb/index.php on line 4

i just replaced the 'where-you-want-to-go with my url, any suggestions?

thank you.

[Orstio]

being charter member i guess it has some advantages.

nice!

i will look forward to become one charter member pretty soon and i am tired of waiting for a random answer.

thank you man!!!

While I'm sure everyone here would appreciate your charter membership, it isn't required to receive a quicker reply.  I think something similar to what I posted above has already been suggested somewhere.

this code gave me en error:

Code:

Fatal error: Call to undefined function: redirectexit() in /homepages/20/d107436098/htdocs/bb/bb/index.php on line 4
i just replaced the 'where-you-want-to-go with my url, any suggestions?

thank you.

It is best to place that code after Line 51.

[Orstio]

Hmmm... once Subs.php is called, it should be good. 

[Nitro]

on subs.php you mean, to put that code in the subs.php? is that right? because i have it on the index.php for the SMF board

[Orstio]

Yes, it goes in index.php.  But there is a "require" to Subs.php:

Code Select Expand

require_once($sourcedir . '/Subs.php');

The function named redirectexit is inside Subs.php, so the code added to index.php must be after that require_once statement.

[Phoenixoverlord]

Hmmm still no love here...

I've placed this after the require_once line in index.php (around 54 or so)

Code Select Expand

if (strpos($_SERVER['QUERY_STRING'], 'dlattach') === false)
{
if(!defined('_VALID_MOS')){ redirectexit('http://url/mambo/index.php',false); }
}

And then get this for an answer:

Code Select Expand

Notice: Use of undefined constant WIRELESS - assumed 'WIRELESS' in /home/flaming/public_html/smftest/Sources/Subs.php on line 1228

Notice: Use of undefined constant WIRELESS_PROTOCOL - assumed 'WIRELESS_PROTOCOL' in /home/flaming/public_html/smftest/Sources/Subs.php on line 1238

What version of the bridge are you using?  Do you have a URL?

[Phoenixoverlord]

I'm using v3.19a  and SMF 1.0.5. I'll PM you the link. Thanks for the help!
