As many users of my site use puplic internet coffee I want to turn off the referre check. I have searched the Forum and FAQ. I get only how to turn off for XOOPS 2.0.13.2. and not for XOOPS 2.2.3 final


for XOOPS 2.0.13.2 can man use the following hack to turn off

function xoops_refcheck($docheck=1)
{
return true;#*#DISABLE_REFERER_CHECK#
$ref = xoops_getenv('HTTP_REFERER');
if ($docheck == 0) {
return true;
}
if ($ref == '') {
return false;
}
if (strpos($ref, XOOPS_URL) !== 0 ) {
return false;
}
return true;
}

But this function is different for XOOPS2.2.3 final.

I am using XOOPS 2.2.3 final.

Thanks
abdow

Hi!

I have this same problem. In my XOOPS 2.2.3 I edited the following line, but the change did not take effect.

function checkReferer($docheck=0)

Did you apply some more modifications?

Hope to hear from you,

Greetings,

Marc

In connection to my former reaction, this is the complete code concerning the referer-check (I guess..)


function checkReferer($docheck=0)
{
if ($docheck == 0) {
return true;
}
$ref = xoops_getenv('HTTP_REFERER');
if ($ref == '') {
return false;
}
$pref = parse_url($ref);
if ( $pref['host'] != $_SERVER['HTTP_HOST']
// PORT might be appended to $_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'] by some browsers
&& $pref['host'].":".$pref['port'] != $_SERVER['HTTP_HOST']
) {
return false;
}
return true;
}


Does somebody know why browsers still refuse to load my XOOPS 2.2.3 site?

Marc The only thing I changed is to make return true see below :

Origin:
$ref = xoops_getenv('HTTP_REFERER');
if ($ref == '') {
return false;}

change to

$ref = xoops_getenv('HTTP_REFERER');
if ($ref == '') {
return true;}

Hope that helps

Thank you very much Abdow,

I tried the modification you mentioned, and tried some variants of it... unfortunately with no succes..

But I guess this problem should occur to everybody who's installing it right?

I use a dutch Firefox browser saying: "de verwijzingslimiet voor deze URL is overschreden. Niet in staat de verzochte pagina te laden. Dit kan veroorzaakt worden door geblokkeerde cookies." while loading the page. It means (in my 'best' english...):

"De referer-limit for this URL has exeeded. Unable to load the page. It could have been caused by blocked cookies"

It's sure not a browser-thing. it's not running anywhere..

Any ideas??

Thanks for the info here. I've been getting the referrer error pages as well as invalid security tokens on my wordpress blogs and am trying all kinds of different things to get it to resolve. I've re-instated this change since upgrading to 2.2.3 and hope it helps.

none of your steps worked for me. after trying all of them I found that changing

Quote:

function checkReferer($docheck=1)
{
if ($docheck == 0) {
return true;
}


to

Quote:

function checkReferer($docheck=1)
{
if ($docheck == 0) {
return false;
}


Seems to work in all browsers... if the browser matters

as mentioned: class/xoopssecurity.php.


Unfortunately none of above solutions worked for me. Has it something to do with permissions? (CHMOD)

Hope to hear from you!

Greetingz,

Marc
