If you mean, how your site will be affected if your users' firewalls are blocking their HTTP_REFERER? The banner thing is the only element, I am aware of.

yes, how do you fix this in version 2.2?

In my situation, people can start the registration process and get to the confirm page. But when they click finish to confirm, they get the same HTTP_REFERER_BLOCKED error...

Any help is appreciated!

How do we do this on XOOPS 2.2 Mithrandir? I don't recall seeing an administrative option, but it seems that it's written that way and the code is different in 2.2. I'm no PHP jockey (still learning) - so I'm not sure how to do it.

I already received emails from my visitors having the same trouble. I can change my firewall settings but can't ask other users to do the same. I have other websites and I can logging in all of them with no problem. I don't know much about php but there must be a way to fix this problem with no sacrifice to the security of Xoops.

the modification to functions.php isn't required if you know how to configure your firewall..

as long as it isn't blocking http referring and cookies, XOOPS shud login and function.

most firewalls i have seen/used do actually state clearly in their settings screens that blocking these can stop some sites working..

however, if you really must do this then i'd suggest re reading the FAQ as it states clearly what needs to be edited.. but beware, you are reducing the security of your own site by removing the referrer check, and attacks via XSS and other methods are becoming more and more frequent.. so be warned!!

@mongrel, i registered on your site and activated the account no problems, but am unable to login..

can you put the functions.php back to how it was originally (unedited) and try again to see if that works.. i think maybe you have edited it wrong..
