Htaccess question, help me out hehe
 

I know there is an htaccess code to redirect hotlinkers to the url of your choice, Ive been reading tutorials on them, and (call me dumb) I cant get the f'ing thing to work.

Please anyone who knows this code please let me know...
I just need the following

If users are requesting from goodurl.com/subdirectory then do shit
if they are requesting from anywhere else
redirect them to here

lol thanks

I am also intrested for this,ent help is welcome

Something like this would work:

RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !^http://(www\.)?yourdomain.com(/)?.*$ [NC]
RewriteRule .*\.(gif|jpg|jpeg|bmp)$ http://www.yourdomain.com/hotlink.jpg [R,NC]

Basically, if any domain other than yours attempts to display an image, it'll be replaced with hotlink.jpg (which can be a ******* pic, for example).

That is so qick
Thanx psyko514

need it to redirect the persons page to page.html not jsut change the image ;)

AC

bump it up

REMEMBER !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

When you are uploading an .htaccess file, it must be done in Ascii mode.

;)

:thumbsup

I would add a line for the ip address of your server, it's not essential but I do it anyway:

RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !^http://32.332.332.32.*$ [NC]

I'm not sure that's possible.

You cant have hotlinkers redirected to a web page. They are requesting an image, they must get an image back or the web browser will not know how to interperet it, and give back a broken image link.

What we used to do on our freehost is replace the image with a "Hotlinking disabled" image with a nasty assed image that people dont want to look at.

I replace it with a 1k gif with my domain name. Why not get some free advertising?

replace the hotlinked image with a 3 mil by 3 mil pixels /ok may be a bit smaller ;)/ WHITE jpg or gif. The image's size is tiny and it'll cost you next to nothing in bandwith but it'll slow the hotlinking fucker's page to a crawl ;)
