If this then How to disable some kind of Embed codes from image upload?

 

[Rodolfo]

Hotlink is when you tell the server to deny certain domains from leeching traffic. That's the real protection, disable codes at script side is only for styling concerns.

Disable embed codes can be achieved at Dashboard > Settings > Theme

Hope it helps,
Rodolfo.

Unfortunately to achieve that you need to tweak the theme on your own.

How I can do this? Also how to BB Code full link by default after completed upload?

 

[Rodolfo]

You are asking for changes that can't be achieved by system settings so the answer is the same: You need to do your own editing. Here, this can guide you through the process of theme editing: https://chevereto.com/community/threads/how-to-find-something-in-the-code.8447/

Unfortunately, I can't guide you step by step because that is outside the scope of support and takes me a lot of time to do custom implementations and I can't provide custom styling guides to every single client.

Hope that you can understand,
Rodolfo.

I followed the directions and used the cpanel option. I enabled hotlinking (on the site my hosting site is located), then decided against it and clicked disable. Now my images aren't showing up anywhere...Even lost them on my site?

What did I do wrong?

Ask your hosting company about it. Sometimes cPanel features just don't work due to incorrect implementations at hosting side.

TMD's awesome tech support fixed everything.

Details:
- I have a Chevereto hosting site hosted by TMD.
- I'm an avid user (and admin) on a car forum.
- I want fellow forum users to use my hosting site for the car forum only.

Question:
Do I enable hotlinking on my TMD server/cpanel or the forum's server?

Thank you!

Seems that you skipped the most important part of the concept of hotlink which is that an origin server denies or allow access to certain resources. You enable or disable access where the resource is being hosted, not where is being called.

 

[Focker]

Maybe the same answer but I wanted to make one clarification...

- I'm an avid user (and admin) on a car forum.

Should have read:
- I'm an avid user (and admin) on a car forum that is hosted on a completely different server.

 

[Rodolfo]

Doesn't matter if is the same server or not, you only need to instruct the host server to accept hotlink from certain sources and reject hotlink from anywhere else. I'm sorry if not clear enough but as I've already mentioned, this is a server thing so refer your concerns to your hosting company or server administrator. There's nothing else that I could tell you about this stuff.

I'm not very smart sometimes. 🙂
