I've just installed and am happily using Galery HP (http://www.galleryhp.org/)
A great photo gallery package...
Anyhoo,
I want to now be able to stop people from linking to the images directly, and only be able to access the images via my site...
Is this possible...?
Perhaps my questio is to vauge, but I'm just having a think at teh mo...
For the record, Gallery HP does a good job of hiding the full URL anyway.
There are the traditional solutions to block accesses from the wrong referer but those are easy to work around.
Some time ago I noticed this solution that seems to be much more robust as it protects the actual images via a special URL wrapper that only gives access to the images if you really have set some session variables.
Not that it may be full proof, but I think it will protect your picture better.
From what I could gather it does not require that you change the code that generates your image tags as it does some magic with your page HTML.
