Hi does anyone know how to code something so that if someone hotlinks a photo or anything from my proxy that it will be clickable to where ever it is posted at? and when that user clicks the hotlinked image or w/e it is, it will send them to my home page? let me know thanks! and hopefully the above makes sense.
if they're hotlinking your image, there's not really much you can do. You can't put any html code on their site. You can create image hotlink protection scripts, if you really care all that much. You could do that by having your html code output a time sensitive key that a browser will pass back into an image display script. e.g., output: <img src="image.php?key=xxx"/> you then could make image.php check to see if KEY matches the correct value and output either the correct image or send a 404 or whatever else you get creative with.
so what do you mean by that? like if someone takes and hotlinks a picture using my proxy on another site it will turn that picture into something else? and will i be able to send those users back to my site or no? so overall there is no way that a hot linked picture using my site will make it clicable so users will land back to my homepage? thanks a lot!
