prevent hotlink

Hi, I have a problem when trying to prevent hotlink, so I have the htaccess file:


# Comment the following line (add '#' at the beginning)
# to disable mod_rewrite functions.
# Please note: you still need to disable the hack in
# the vBSEO control panel to stop url rewrites.
RewriteEngine On

# Some servers require the Rewritebase directive to be
# enabled (remove '#' at the beginning to activate)
# Please note: when enabled, you must include the path
# to your root vB folder (i.e. RewriteBase /forums/)
#RewriteBase /

#RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www\.yourdomain\.com
#RewriteRule (.*) http://www.yourdomain.com/forums/$1 [L,R=301]

RewriteRule ^((urllist|sitemap_).*\.(xml|txt)(\.gz)?)$ vbseo_sitemap/vbseo_getsitemap.php?sitemap=$1 [L]

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !(admincp/|modcp/|cron|vbseo_sitemap)
RewriteRule ^((archive/)?(.*\.php(/.*)?))$ vbseo.php [L,QSA]

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !/(admincp|modcp|clientscript|cpstyles|images)/
RewriteRule ^(.+)$ vbseo.php [L,QSA]

<IfModule mod_expires.c>

but when I add:

RewriteEngine On

RewriteCond % !^http(s)://([a-z0-9]+\.)?foroxd.com [NC]
RewriteRule \.(jpg jpeg gif png avi mov swf flv)$ - [NC,R,L]

is left blank the web

Greetings and thanks

Hello Robert,

You should use:

Code:

RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERRER} !^https?://([a-z0-9]+\.)?foroxd.com [NC]
RewriteRule ^.*\.(jpe?g|gif|png|avi|mov|swf|flv)$ - [F]

Hi Andres:

1. Does that code prevent hotlinking of all images?

2. Where exactly do you put it in Vbseo's .htaccess? At the top, at the end, below what?

Hello,

That RewriteRule rarely can conflict with vBSEO installations; if it's your case, try putting those rules right after "RewriteEngine" On line on your .htacccess, otherwise, you can add it at the very end of the .htaccess.

Sorry for the delay, I had to put it because I was so problems with gif and png the same forum.

RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERRER} !^https?://([a-z0-9]+\.)?foroxd.com [NC]
RewriteRule ^.*\.(jpe?g|avi|mov|swf|flv)$ - [F]

Thank you very much and best regards

You're welcome .
