HTTP Referers Problem

Client Joined: Dec 04, 2004 Posts: 757

Hello all, this has never happened to me before but I find if I click on the links in HTTP Referers from the admin panel I find any link there takes me to my home page? this is a pain as I use these links a lot to find out where vistiors are coming from to reach my site I can copy and paste the individual links in a browser but its a pain really. any idea`s why this is happening? also its the same for web links if someone adds a link to my sites and I go to admin and except the link there is a visit site link there but if I clcik on it that takes me to my home page also?
Thanks for any help all

phpnuke 7.6
Sentinal 2.3

When clicking on them you should first get a url like:
http://www.your_site.com/index.php?url=http://www.the_other_site.com
which will then get converted to:
http://www.the_other_site.com

I tested on one of my sites running Nuke 7.6 and the latest NukeSentinel and it works for me.

Check if your main index file has this code after home= 1;

Code:

if (isset($url) AND is_admin($admin)) {


    echo "<meta http-equiv=\"refresh\" content=\"0; url=$url\">";


    die();


}

Would this work with 7.5 and 2.2.0 sentintal?

It should.

do I add it above this or under or what? I am really dense.

Code:

if ($httpref==1) {


    $referer = $_SERVER["HTTP_REFERER"];


    $referer = check_html($referer, nohtml);


    if ($referer=="" OR eregi("^unknown", $referer) OR substr("$referer",0,strlen($nukeurl))==$nukeurl OR eregi("^bookmark",$referer)) {


    } else {


   $sql = "INSERT INTO ".$prefix."_referer VALUES (NULL, '$referer')";


   $result = $db->sql_query($sql);

Above it, right under:
$home = 1;

Posted: Thu May 19, 2005 11:30 pm

Code:

$home = 1;





if (isset($url) AND is_admin($admin)) { 


    echo "<meta http-equiv=\"refresh\" content=\"0; url=$url\">"; 


    die(); 


}

or

Code:

$home = 1;


if (isset($url) AND is_admin($admin)) { 


    echo "<meta http-equiv=\"refresh\" content=\"0; url=$url\">"; 


    die(); 


}

I am not sure it is working because I tried it to the top way and I am still showing my own site in the links.

oops, I made a mistake I have 6.5 does that make a difference?

Posted: Thu May 19, 2005 11:57 pm

Try changing:

Code:

if ($httpref==1) { 


    $referer = $_SERVER["HTTP_REFERER"]; 


    $referer = check_html($referer, nohtml); 


    if ($referer=="" OR eregi("^unknown", $referer) OR substr("$referer",0,strlen($nukeurl))==$nukeurl OR eregi("^bookmark",$referer)) { 


    } else { 


   $sql = "INSERT INTO ".$prefix."_referer VALUES (NULL, '$referer')"; 


   $result = $db->sql_query($sql);

to:

Code:

if ($httpref==1) { 


    $referer = $_SERVER["HTTP_REFERER"]; 


    $referer = check_html($referer, nohtml); 


    if ($referer=="" OR eregi("^unknown", $referer) OR substr("$referer",0,strlen($nukeurl))==$nukeurl OR eregi("^bookmark",$referer) OR eregi("$nukeurl", $referer)) { 


    } else { 


   $sql = "INSERT INTO ".$prefix."_referer VALUES (NULL, '$referer')"; 


   $result = $db->sql_query($sql);

Shouldn't matter that it's 6.5

This is my whole php file. I am either missing something or it does not like me tonight.
I could be over tired.
What I am trying to do is make it so I can turn on the refers block but not have all of my own site listed in the links.

For example:: I am testing this out on my planetsuzy.net site and these are the refers in the list as of now after i deleted a bunch out to see if it worked. If you notice the one in bold is still from on site.

not these are the links listed in admin section http referers

1 http://www.planetsuzy.com/modules.php?name=News&file=article&sid=1609
2 http://planetsuzy.com/index.php
3 http://planetsuzy.com/index.php
4 http://www.planetsuzy.net/admin.php?op=block_show&bid=30
5 http://www.planetsuzy.com/modules.php?name=Forums&file=index&sid=b190526d76398c055591277a2e6bd935
6 http://data.forumhoster.com/forum_bilbojr/index.php?showtopic=32

this is how it shows in the blocks referer block the one in bold is on site.

What I was trying to do was remove all on site links from the refer list and have the just name of the domain show up :: example PlanetSuzy ( for the planetsuzy.com refers )
1: http://data.forumhos..
2: http://www.planetsuz..
3: http://www.planetsuz..
4: http://planetsuzy.co..
5: http://planetsuzy.co..
6: http://www.planetsuz..

After you made the changes did you delete your referers to check if the site gets added after?

Posted: Fri May 20, 2005 10:04 am

Yes I did 3 times. Still they are added.

Posted: Sat May 21, 2005 8:51 am

Can you give me any more help with this?
