Embedding images? - 02-02-2005, 08:36 AM


Are the url's for images embedded in posts being filtered? For example, are only files ending in .jpg or .gif allowed? Or is there a filter by content type? When I try to post images from my website using a dynamic url, the image isn't displayed.



If I embed a static image from my site, then it works fine.



I'm not too familiar with this version of phpBB but I can do this on other phpBB sites. Any ideas?

Thanks,
Kyle

Kyle:

This version of phpBB will not allow any embedded images whose filename does not end with a proper extension (.jpg, .gif, etc.).

Your first image URL is a .asp file. phpBB does not change the reference. Instead, it leaves your input exactly as you typed it. Also, it disables any further image tags after it finds a bad one.

Ok, I downloaded the latest phpBB files and changed the code to allow posting dynamic urls for embedding images.

Abel, let me know if you are willing to apply the fix and I will give you the details. It's literally two lines of code!! I'll send you a pm as well.
