Does anyone know the htaccess code that...

[RedShoe]

I need the htaccess code (if there is one) that doesn't allow .jpg or .gif images to be displayed on their own.
I only want them to be displayed on an html page.

Make sure you have mod rewrite.

Rewriteengine on
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !^$
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !^http://domain.com/.*$ "NC"
RewriteRule .*\.(gif|GIF|jpg|JPG)$ - "F"

[RedShoe]

But isn't that just for anti hotlinking? I used that code and I still can see the image. What I want is the code that does not show the image unless it's on an HTML page.

If that's even possible.

[mrkris]

an HTML page is just a bunch of scripting that tells the browser what to display. When your browser sees an image, it grabs the image. In order to do what you want, from what I know, is to have a script READ the image from a non-web accessible directory and spit the contents to the browser.

[RedShoe]

AAhhhh.. that makes sense. Cool man, thanks.
A non-web accessible browser,... I didn't even think of doing it that way. Thanks.



edit...
Ok, so how do I call into a non-web accessible directory?

[mrkris]

depends on languages, etc. I do lots of php so I use fopen() or something similiar and pass it the path to the image i want to read. I also do this to create images with custom text based on an image template. perhaps someone else out there knows a better method.

Or just use that without the
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !^$

which allows direct linking. The quotes around NC and F should be square braces though.

No need to dick around with anything else or any kind of scripting.

Clear cache and then try typing in the pic's URL with the code supplied in place.
