hi

how can i encrypt encyclopedia terms? its d*** easy to steal content:

modules.php?name=Encyclopedia&op=content&tid=4

just change to

modules.php?name=Encyclopedia&op=content&tid=5

and you will get the next term to steal....

how can i encrypt like:

modules.php?name=Encyclopedia&op=content&tid=45893shds3#sds

?

Well you'd have to MD5 all the output for $tid.
To do the query, you'd have to check the correct term in the query

Need to add to the query something like

Code:




WHERE MD5($tid) = MD5(tid)

there is the following code:

modules/Encyclopedia/index.php

Code:

         $tid = intval($row3['tid']);

Code:

         echo "<tr><td><a href=\"modules.php?name=$module_name&amp;op=content&amp;tid=$tid\">$title</a></td></tr>";

Code:

function content($tid, $ltr, $page=0, $query="") {

Code:

   $tid = intval($tid);

Code:

   $ency = $db->sql_fetchrow($db->sql_query("SELECT * FROM ".$prefix."_encyclopedia_text WHERE tid='$tid'"));

Code:

      $db->sql_query("UPDATE ".$prefix."_encyclopedia_text SET counter=counter+1 WHERE tid='$tid'");

Code:

href=\"modules.php?name=$module_name&amp;op=content&amp;tid=$tid&amp;page=$next_pagenumber$fromsearch\">"._NEXT."

Code:

href=\"modules.php?name=$module_name&amp;op=content&amp;tid=$tid&amp;page=$next_pagenumber\"><img src=\"images/right.gif\" border=\"0\" alt=\""._NEXT."\" title=\""._NEXT."\"></a>";

Code:

href=\"modules.php?name=$module_name&amp;op=content&amp;tid=$tid&amp;page=$previous_pagenumber$fromsearch\"><img src=\"images/left.gif\" border=\"0\" alt=\""._PREVIOUS."\" title=\""._PREVIOUS."\"></a>

Code:

href=\"modules.php?name=$module_name&amp;op=content&amp;tid=$tid&amp;page=$previous_pagenumber$fromsearch\">"._PREVIOUS." ($previous_pagenumber/$pageno)</a>";

Code:

   case "content":


   content($tid, $ltr, $page, $query);

How do you expect using an encrypted ID to stop anyone from "stealing" content? They can find the encrypted link easily enough, and use that instead of an integer ID...

ehhh?

i just want to stop this:

modules.php?name=Encyclopedia&op=content&tid=203

modules.php?name=Encyclopedia&op=content&tid=204

this way anyone will steal stuff EASILY

How is that any different than (with the MD5 values for 203 and 204, respectively):

modules.php?name=Encyclopedia&op=content&tid=e2c0be24560d78c5e599c2a9c9d0bbd2

modules.php?name=Encyclopedia&op=content&tid=274ad4786c3abca69fa097b85867d9a4

?

As long as there is a link to the content on your site, people will be able to access it easily.
