the xcgal module is really beautiful..
its working on my sites without any problem,however,people are hotlinking to my pictures from other sites and its a big problem for me when you have limited bandwith..

first i was thinking of using .htacces for preventing hotlinking but that might couse some problem..(last chance)

second,hiding picture url's would slow down hotlinking..
i made some search on coppermine forum,

if you can help,i would so appreciated..
best regards..

What I do to prevent hotlinking of my photos is to use the hotlink protection that comes with cpanel. That's a good solution if you are hosting your site and have cpanel. Otherwise a google search on hotlinking should bring up several sites that give you alternatives.

yes cblue,that would be good solution but when i do it all of my tumbnails getting mess also..i might do something wrong but i've read that several people expericed samething as i did..
