XFileSharing Pro - Anyway to stop this obvious cheating?

[Jesse202]

So when you upload a image you are given the code:

Code: Select all

[URL=http://xfilesharing.com/2ci5ina8fvmn/60a9687d8620a27f_coloring-pages-_1.jpg.html][IMG]http://xfilesharing.com/i/00014/2ci5ina8fvmn_t.jpg[/IMG][/URL]

but if you change it to:

Code: Select all

[URL=http://xfilesharing.com/2ci5ina8fvmn/60a9687d8620a27f_coloring-pages-_1.jpg.html][IMG]http://xfilesharing.com/2ci5ina8fvmn/60a9687d8620a27f_coloring-pages-_1.jpg.html[/IMG][/URL]

Every time somebody loads the page that code is on, it counts as a view without any image ever loading or the user seeing a page.

Looks as if imagetwist is the only one to figure it out. this has been a ongoing issue with this script. It's impossible to check all images uploaded. Some are even in private forums.

Is there anyway to stop this?

get complete download mod

[Jesse202]

It's just an image host. That won't do it. When you use it only for images, it counts as a view when the download1 page shows the image. Users do not need to click a download button.

open a support ticket for customization and they can do it

[Jesse202]

Nope they wont. I've asked about this before a couple times many months ago. They said to check the anti-cheat logs and track images.

A couple versions have been released without a fix for this. imagetwist is the only image host I've seen that has a fix for it.

did you specifically ask for nginx 100% mod to be used ?

[Jesse202]

I have nginx. It has nothing to do with that or download complete mod. Once download1 is viewed, that = an image view.

By modifying the forum code(also works with html) that forces a view:

Original code - Link to image view page --> Image thumb link --> End link

Code: Select all

[URL=http://xfilesharing.com/2ci5ina8fvmn/60a9687d8620a27f_coloring-pages-_1.jpg.html][IMG]http://xfilesharing.com/i/00014/2ci5ina8fvmn_t.jpg[/IMG][/URL]

Modify it to - Link to image view page (or anything. Doesn't matter) --> Image View Page (as IMG code to force view on current page)

Code: Select all

[URL=http://xfilesharing.com/2ci5ina8fvmn/60a9687d8620a27f_coloring-pages-_1.jpg.html][IMG]http://xfilesharing.com/2ci5ina8fvmn/60a9687d8620a27f_coloring-pages-_1.jpg.html[/IMG][/URL]

Since this is just the image mod, there is now clicking to download needed for the user to get credit. Just seeing the download page

Just make a small modification:
Insert a JavaScript into the Download1 page which will be only executed if the HTML will be rendered. The JS should give a callback to the script and then write to the DB that the image was loaded properly / download complete.

[Jesse202]

Like a continue to image thing? Doesn't work. Tried that.

Maybe I'll give the "this page could contain adult images. Enter or Leave" thing that imagetwist has.

Sorry, but you have to work with the source code if you want customization... It's not about templates, it's about functionality which you get a great base from sibsoft, but you have to extend or modify for yourself on your own.
You have to change the code that it does not count an image view by just loading download1 but rendering the page (which can be checked by a JavaScript).

"Customization"

[Jesse202]

It has nothing to do with customization lol you guys are thinking way too advanced or are looking for a quick answer to give.

Anyway, a simple ajax load indicator should do the trick just fine. It will load that before the javascript on the page thanks for letting me bounce ideas off you're heads.

It has nothing to do with customization

you don't get it, do u ? even adding anything to existing code like ajax = customization

http://xfilesharing.com/dl/8/3uxqrmwzz3 ... ges-_1.jpg = download1.html

image load = download

if you have complete download mod, then just page loads can be 'customized' to not count unless the actual image is downloaded
