    Exclamation Protect your ideas from thieves!

    My site's (incomplete) design and coding was stolen from me by a member of this forum: Anthony Edges.

    He did this by going to the .tpl files and downloading them directly at OMGWTFSEX.COM (an adult vShare site).

    If you go to http://www.yourvshareurl.com/templates/ANYFILE.tpl, that file will pop right up in your browser so it can be read and/or downloaded.

    To prevent this from happening, please add the following information to the .htaccess file in your root folder:

    Code:
    <Files "*.tpl">
        Order allow,deny
        Deny from all
    </Files>
    NOTE: Anthony Edges is the owner of think-porn.info

    Hey Dragonetta thanks for the heads up I didn't even know this was possible.. wonder why vshare team hasn't added it as default setting in vshare script.

    You're very welcome, Templar. I'm very grateful that I discovered the problem myself. I guess I have a thief to thank for that.

    I know the coding really well on those templates, so I know what can be seen by viewing source and what can't be seen that way. You can see the result of the variables, but you can't see the variables themselves by viewing source, so I knew that he'd had access to my .tpl files.

    By instinct, I just typed in a direct URL to one of them, and when it popped right up at me like a jack-in-the-box, I knew that's how it had happened.

    That's what happens when you don't cheat. You actually learn something.

    Thumbs up Thanks for the tip

    Thanks for this valuable tip. I have a highly customized vShare 2.8 beta script at www.80TOONS.com (I coded the mobile version from the ground up). This will help to protect my coding from people stealing it. If you are going to steal the code at least put a link to where you got it from.

    Anyways if you want to just visit my site and tell me what you think I would love to hear the feedback especially for the mobile site. Thanks

    HOSTING WITH FULL vShare SUPPORT, my mobile addon support for vShare 2.8 & FFmpeg permanent video water marking at GIFTSnMORE.com . Thanks

    You can't protect your .css files in this fashion, but I've been informed that it may be possible with .php.
