I used to use a standard .htaccess file to prevent people leeching photos from Gallery 1. The "image location" always defaulted to a specific .jpg/.gif/.png file. However, I've noticed that gallery2 now uses a url with a php command to grab the image. This means that remote-linking this image won't be considered leeching by .htaccess as it is main.php on the local server that is calling it. Any advice? I couldn't find "leeching" in the Gallery2 FAQ. |

Apologies, apparently the word is "hotlinking" and there are lots of search results for it. I had not set up the URLRewrite module correctly.
