Should direct access to file location be hidden from the end user? Any comments why it was decided to "simplify" things |

Simply, performance and it's not to "simplify" things, it really does simplify things. Gallery doesn't have to do extra work translating that info or serving up the images. Want more, search the forums. Images can be made just as secure as in G2 with G2's image firewall. http://gallery.menalto.com/node/87609 ____________________________________________ |

harsh... missed 87609, but did not have an intention to read info on Alpha thinking that it is more productive to spend time on customization questions. yes "G2 image firewall" could be used, but it complicates thing as far as configuration of the site and may not be available to some people. and I have set .htaccess to prevent hot-linking... probably would be nice to start collect FAQ for G3 |

Right now, since G3 hasn't been finalized yet and is still being worked on, you'll have to manually edit .htaccess For example, the ability for G3 to utilize mod_rewrite was just added to the code base a couple days ago. I haven't even had a chance to check it out, just saw that it was committed by bharat. |
