arrgg to them. why would someone want to direct link like this?
i finally took my sweet little time and wrote .htaccess protection for all my images. and if you only wish to allow yourself and several other domains to be able to direct link to your images. do something like this in your .htaccess:
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !^$
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !^http://gallery.pure-essence.net/.*$ [NC]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !^ http://regretless.com/.*$ [NC]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !^http://www.pure-essence.net/.*$ [NC]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !^http://www.regretless.org/.*$ [NC]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !^http://regretless.org/.*$ [NC]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !^http://www.regretless.com/.*$ [NC]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !^http://regretless.com/.*$ [NC]
RewriteRule .*.(jpg|jpeg|gif|png|bmp|JPG|JPEG|GIF|PNG|BMP)$ http://regretless.com/stolen.gif [R,NC]
I want to allow this site, regretless.com and regretless.org to link images from my site. that’s what i do. If you want your replacement image to show up, make sure you have it somewhere that doesn’t have .htaccess. i only put .htaccess into folders where i have lots of images. i would do it to my whole domain but i also want my buttons to be direct linked by others since i joined button exchanges. i just moved all the buttons to a folder named “buttons” and have no .htaccess in that folder. that will work out nicely. and look! more amusement .. scroll down – between 31 and 32, it’s huge. another one – in the third iframe where the bears are, scroll.
this page gives you some great tips on how to protect your images 🙂
OH YEA, my pictures is up
That htaccess script looks good 🙂 I wish i knew so much about programming ^_^. Hope Andy is feeling better! It’s weird to know that not all people all insured in America. In the Netherlands everybody has got health insurance. Take care, Natasja
Is the .htaccess working ok? I can’t see your images instead i see that “i’m a thief one..” I hope you fix it soon ^^
I hope your bf gets better.
that’s very strange.. i see my site fine.
I dunno why but now i can see your site just fine ^^;;; I wonder why it was like that before ?_?
i changed a little thing around. hope that was it
Kool! now is all nice ^.^ thx for that .htaccess link well you always have good stuff on your site thx for sharing it =)
Yes, I also see the “I’m a thief” one on the whole of pure-essence.net…
Honestly, those thieves… won’t they ever rest?
now the images seem to be broken… *shrugs* maybe there’s something wrong with the server?
what about the livejournal? i addded you to my friends and I get that big ol’ “im a theif”
i will try not link images from pure essence on lj. i can’t make it so lj can direct link from pure essence otherwise everyone who uses lj can direct link from pure essence. that’s too much.
I also use .htaccess to disable direct linking but it does not work to a few people 😦
yes it doesn’t work for some people. annoying. sometimes i see the thief images too arg 😦
NICE 😉 Thanks Dodo. You Rock!
