Image software

[Rolus]

I've been working on a php based image gallery for a gaming clan im part so that the members can upload some fun screenshots. The idea is that they either select the image file or an external url. In either case a thumb file is generated and in the case of the file a copy of the file is made with a max size of 700*700 in png format. The max size of the folder with the rerendered copies is 5mb (old ones get deleted after 2 weeks if there's a new upload request).

I've read a few posts that say image hosting is not allowed on x10, I also read one that says it is allowed for forum avatar galleries, so i was wondering: am i allowed to use this script on x10? thx in advance ^^

What you are suggesting would be fine. What we don't want to see is people hosting images for the sole purpose of allowing them to be downloaded. It cause more stress on the servers. So if you are allowing uploading and not allowing them to download them then we have no problems with it. I would also make sure that they are not hot linking to them.

I dont think i can disable download completely, though i might be able to change the right-click menu. I suppose i could make a htaccess file that disables hotlinking. Would that do?

There is an option for disabling hotlinking in the cPanel, login and click the Hotlink Protection option, you should be able to do it from there.
