Hi Bill

If you zip up your .htm or html pages & send to me I'll Dreamweaver the css
file name change for you & send it zipped back to you. You can then upload
the changed pages...or get Dreamweaver :>)

Regards
Vance

I doubt I'll need it thanks.

If we can agree on one, I'll try it. Anybody?

Can't you just use a hotlinking dodge like this:

..htaccess

RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !^$
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !^http://www\.mydomain\.com/.*$ [NC]
RewriteRule \.(jpe?g|gif|ico|swf|mp3|css)$ - [F,L]

Hi Bill,

Have you contacted him to ask him to knock it off?

Once he knows you're onto him, he may be willing to take it down.

I get the impression he's an idiot who'd relish the attention.

If not, as Borek says, just block his site. It's pretty easy to do; I did
something like that on one of my own sites & it's very effective. Just
email
me if you'd like me to send you the code.

Would you object to displaying it here?

Here you go:


SetEnvIf Referer .\.offendingsite\.com block_site1
SetEnvIf Referer .\.anotheroffendingsite\.com block_site1

RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{ENV:block_site1} !^$
rewriterule \.(gif|jpg|mp3|css)$ - [nc,F]


You can add (or delete) other types of extensions to block as well. They
just need to be separated with a pipe.

I might have gotten this code from someone in this group, don't recall. I've
been using it to block a few egregious hotlinkers & it works like a charm.
(I haven't used it with CSS before but just tested it on 2 of my sites & it
worked fine)

Hope this helps!

cheers ~
Denise

Can you stick example.com in there for dumb ol' me please honey?

I can nearly get Keith's version, but not quite either :-(

Means:

Turn on Rewrite engine.
If HTTP_REFERER is not null (ie exact URL of file), or
if HTTP_REFERER is not http://www.kruse.co.uk/<anything> (not case
sensitive)
Then forbid files of extension jpg jpeg gif ico swf mp3 and css, and
leave rewrite.

I just looked, and apparently you can replace the last line with
something like this:
RewriteRule \.(jpe?g|gif|png|ico)$ images/no_hotlink.jpg [R,L]

which means:

replace your image with this one, and leave rewrite.

I'm guessing you can do something like:
RewriteRule \.css$ styles/trick.css [R,L]

but I'd try it out first.

OK. Example.com being the site of the jerk that ripped you off...

Risky - your own visitors with referrer string switched off won't see
properly your site. IMHO it is better to allow some people visiting the
other site to slip through than to risk someone won't be able to see your
site correctly.

RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !^http://www\.mydomain\.com/.*$ [NC]
RewriteRule \.(jpe?g|gif|ico|swf|mp3|css)$ - [F,L]

I doubt, it only eats your bandwidth. mod_rewrite & some nasty
defaul
t
background image displayed by the linked css should teach him a
thing
.

How would I do a unique one for him?

With rewrite rule: if referrer string is his site (contains his
domain), serve something else than in all other cases. Those that not
send referrer string will see his site correctly, but they are
minority.

It's even more fun if the owner has a fixed IP address, and you can make
the redirect *not* work for him/her :-)

Now that would be very funny.

You could have even more fun and set up the style sheet for visitors to
the other site which has everything set to display: none (as suggested
by another poster), and possibly have some nice advertising for
yourself by way of a background image, but when the site owner goes to
see the site it still all looks nice and normal to him!
