and change it to:

PHP Code:

<vb:comment><li><a href="{vb:raw $vboptions.vbforum_url}{vb:if "$vboptions['vbforum_url']", '/', ''}printthread.php?{vb:raw session.sessionurl}t={vb:raw threadid}<vb:if condition="$perpage">&amp;pp={vb:raw perpage}</vb:if><vb:if condition="$pagenumber">&amp;page={vb:raw pagenumber}</vb:if>" accesskey="3" rel="nofollow">{vb:rawphrase show_printable_version}</a></li></vb:comment>

Try adding:

PHP Code:

if (!$_SERVER['HTTP_REFERER'])
{
    exit;
} 


at the top of your "printthread.php" file.

If you wish to avoid template edits and PHP file hacks, then download and import the attached add-on. It uses 1 plugin to inject a snippet of javascript to remove the "Show Printable Version" item from the "Thread Tools" menu, and another plugin that will deny permission to anyone trying to access the script manually. :up:

There are no settings to configure, once it is imported, it is active.

Yep, I am waiting three years for your report, I assume you forgot it


Mark I just test this, "Show Printable Version" phrase-option is still there.
It does not allow though to see the page. Stratis, you do not have permission to access this page. This could be due to one of several reasons:


This is ok, but if the option "Show Printable Version" is not there it would be great. Thanks any way.

I see though the option and it does not let see the page. It does that we want, it would be better if it worked to me to hide the option


Thanks for another time.

[MarkFL]

It does hide the option. Try it with the default style.

What version of vB are you testing it with? What browser are you using?

[Stratis]

vb 4.2.0, with all styles and all browsers.
Just test this #9
This hides the option, so i will use that with the product-markflnoprintable.xml

I am guessing your template is different then, and so the javascript doesn't work.
