CJi, I forgot to ask in my last message...you can add more addresses to that, right, if you want some site to be able to link to it? But what would happen, if you did that, if someone linked to the extra site that you allowed in there? Is there any way to stop them from linking to that other site and bypassing it? I have a main site that I use for commercial purposes and I would maybe like to be able to links things to there. But if someone linked to my main site, this wouldn't do me any good, would it?

A quick check, would this be ok (for the DOMAIN parts):

In what kind of file must I add this code?

From post#1:

Question: The instructions say to place right after <?php. There is a similar hack, but to prevent attachment stealing, here: https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthrea...threadid=35399 Now this hack says to place the code after require("./global.php");. Is there a difference between either placement? Should I change my installation of that hack to place the code right after <?php, instead of after require("./global.php");?

Actually, upon closer examination, it looks like this version and that version are pretty different. Which one is better? ;)

Is there any way to have this hack also display a picture or file to the user who is trying to crosslink to let them know that we know they are trying to do it (like in the hack that JJR512 mentioned)?

Would there also be any way to make this work site-wide or forum specific? I want tp put up a couple of forums with pictures the wife has made in various programs (Bryce 5, PhotShop, etc.) and we want to keep others from linking to them.

Lol, whenever you post Boofo it's usually in the form of doublepost, try using the edit button :)

More importantly though, I'm more interested in this request as well:

Any thoughts about this CJi?

PS: And Boofo, in your post above there are options in the cpanel of your site to prevent image stealing or certain directory access, so it shouldn't have to do with vbulletin.

First of all, how do you spell edit? If I can't spell it, how can I use it? :)



But how would that prevent linking from other sites? :)

Velocd: You can't put any path declarations in the array, only a domain or IP address. So you can't add say, www.forums.com/forums/, only www.forums.com.

Bofo: Yep, you can add more, just add more fields to the array seperated by a comma.

JJR512: I can't comment on the other hack, I'm at work at the minute so don't really have time to check over it at the moment, but I'm imagining that the other hack uses some database resources, whereas this one doesn't. By sticking the code right at the top of the script, it cuts out processing time and disk access, as there is no need to include global.php and parse it's contents. This script simply checks where the request comes from, if it isn't known, it bombs right out, if it is allowed, it then goes forth to process the rest of the script. :)

Hope that helps.
