prevent hotlinking of images

[blackhawk]

prevent your product images from being directly published on other sites. open up your .htaccess page and place this code on top...

RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !^$
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !^http://mysite.com/ [NC]
RewriteRule \.(gif|jpg|wmv|mp3|flv|png)$ - [F]

Please test first. may not work for you. but then again it might. if you have more file extensions just as it to the RewriteRule...

For those of us who use hosting with cPanel, you are STRONGLY advised to implement hotlink protection via the interface and not manually "mess with" .htaccess
