Anyone done anything to prevent the displaying of images within posts unless a user is logged in?

Josh's inline images mod has the option to turn them on or off for registered users but nothing for the IMG tag itself that I am aware of.

Yes, I don't allow attachments in the forum; but I'm running around 500-600 online during the day now and some of the sites that have images linked off are upset about the bandwidth being consumed from the people who read those posts.

You would have to strip the image tags from the $Body variable if the user is not logged in.... an easy mod, just a line or 2 in the showflat.php and showthreaded.php .
What will make it a bit more complicated is to make it so that the internal links(to greamlins and stuff) are not affected.

[/] Sounds to me that those admins that are bitching need to install some kind of security on their servers to prevent leeching... Yes, it sucks when users "steal" bandwidth, but a simple mod_rewrite .htaccess file will keep their sites free of leeching, and is pretty much their problem if they sit there and let it continue... Just my .02

Got to agree with Deejay here - I know that I allow leeching of images on my server - so I am one of those 'guilty' ones - and I would imagine that 99% of other threads owners also allow their images to be leeched.

I had no idea how many leeches I had until I checked the logs after switching to vertex host. I fixed that up right away.. big drop in bandwidth

I find mod_re-write to work awesome, and you can replace the linked images with a banner to your site for free advertising everywhere anyone linked to your pics! haha Deej

Actually, I was thinking that making the images appear would be a "benefit" of registering - a way of getting those 400+ unregsitered users to signup.

I figured it out. I have hotlinking enabled now. I had to let some places access it, like here ;-p, but all is well now

It shouldn't be too hard to create. Threads already has a way to hide images on a user by user basis. It seems like it should be easy enough to convert...for someone with skillz. Maybe someday I will have skillz.

In showflat.php find <br />$postrow[$i]['Body'] = $Body;<br /> and replace with <br /> // cut the images out for anonymous<br /> if ($user['U_Number'] < 2){<br /> if (preg_match("/img src/", $Body)) {<br /> $Body = preg_replace("/<img src=/", "picture:", $Body);<br /> }<br /> }<br /> $postrow[$i]['Body'] = $Body;<br />In showthreaded.php find <br />$PrintLastEdit = "";<br /> and replace with <br />// cut the images out for anonymous<br />if ($user['U_Number'] < 2){<br /> if (preg_match("/img src/", $Body)) {<br /> $Body = preg_replace("/<img src=/", "picture:", $Body);<br /> }<br />}<br /><br />$PrintLastEdit = "";<br />

Thanks Would be cool if you could trade the image for a simple graphic that says "You must be registered to view this image"

What about a simple css tag for ubbt_reg and ubbt_unreg templates.
For un try:
<style type="text/css">
.post IMG {
display: none;
}
</style>
Works fine on mine.
And for reg try:
<style type="text/css">
.post IMG {
}
</style>

I came up with adding this snippet to showflat.php just above the $postrow[$i]['Body'] line: if ( $Board == "babes" && $user['U_Number'] < 2 ) { <br /> $Body = preg_replace("/<img src=\"([^\>]*)\">/i","<a href=\"\\1\">click here to view image</a> (You must be registered to view images.)<br />",$Body); <br /> }I haven't decided on the wording or if I want to even allow the link to the image being displayed; but this works (I only wanted this for a specific forum).
