TXP 4.01 and hotlinking

I’m using a simple htaccess rule to prevent hotlinking of images from my site. But since a few days I noticed this method doesn’t work anymore, while it worked for at least six months without a hitch.

So I was wondering if there are other rules in TXP 4.01 that prevent the hotlinking rules to work properly. I’m asking this because I haven’t touched anything server wise (I’m on TXD) and the only recent modification regarded the upgrade of TXP.

Here’s my method:

<pre>RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !^$
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !^http(s)?://(www\.)?numerozero.com.*$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^.+\.(jpg|jpeg|gif|swf)$ http://www.numerozero.com/i/hotl.png [NC,R,L]</pre>

Thanks in advance for any suggestion.

The way rewriterules interact varies from server to server. You’ll need to experiment.

Thanks zem.

I tried by removing TXP htaccess stuff

<pre>#DirectoryIndex index.php index.html
#Options +FollowSymLinks
#RewriteBase /relative/web/path/

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c> RewriteEngine On RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -f [OR] RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -d RewriteRule ^(.+) – [PT,L]

RewriteRule ^(.*) index.php </IfModule></pre>

and my anti-hotlinking rules worked again. So, that’s TXP. Now I have to figure out how to make the two of them work togheter again.

Re: TXP 4.01 and hotlinking

I was able to get this working on 4.0.3. too. One thing though, the “nohotlinking” image doesn´t show. The url for it in .htaccess is correct and image is in the server. I know it is a minor detail but it would be nice to show it.
