WHAT A BIG PROBLEM I HAVE.....

Bandwidth stealers...

people are using our hosted avatars on their sites... consuming a hell of a lot of bandwidth, is there a hack to stop this?

changeing avatar names daily and everywhere its displayed?

or something like that?

please help :ermm:

There is a piece of code you can put in the avatar.php and attachment.php files to stop this...

Here :

PHP Code:

$referers = array ('www.yoursite.com','yoursite.com','your sites ip address'); 

function check_referer($referers){ 
   if (count($referers)){ 
      $found = false; 
      $temp = explode('/',getenv("HTTP_REFERER")); 
      $referer = $temp[2]; 
      for ($x=0; $x < count($referers); $x++){ 
         if (ereg ($referers[$x], $referer)) { 
            $found = true; 
         } 
      } 
      if (!$found){ 
      exit;
      } 
         return $found; 
      } else { 
         return true;
   } 
} 

check_referer($referers); 


Just insert that after

PHP Code:

<?php

and before

PHP Code:

$noheader=1;

//require("./global.php"); 


You will need to change the "www.yoursite.com", "yoursite.com", and "your sites ip address" to your info

.htaccess tutorial in this thread can also help you configure your .htaccess to prevent stealing of ALL images of your site..

[Chris M]

Unless you have a dedicated ip, your ip you put as your host's ip...

Your ip should be in the admin panel of your site...
