[CLOSED] Hotlinking reduction

Site Admin Joined: Jul 18, 2005 Posts: 307

As you know, I am using Fancy_Content template for my newsletters but asume this applies to all of them.

Right near the bottom of theme.php you have external linking to 2 images. One is the CSS validation image, the other for W3C - I tried to post the actual code but it wouldnt let me lol.

I would suggest this is changed to an internal fully qualified link using your normal method similar to;

Quote:

{SITEURL}/modules/HTML_Newsletter/templates/{TEMPLATENAME}/w3cc.gif" alt="Valid HTML 4.01!">

- bearing in mind you would have to include these two images within the package and you may want to use different file names for the images.
I tried to post the full code but the html characters are not allowed - but you can see where I'm going with the bits I could post.

I only spotted this as one of the site the images was linking to was down for a short time whilst doing some testing today with the result that the newsletter took a long time to load.

Actually, that is a good point. To be honest, not sure these are really needed anyways. I will remove them from 1.3. I also need to do a thorough review of the generated HTML to ensure it really IS W3C Compliant...

Thank you for pointing this out.
