Is there any way at all to stop images from being displayed when their URLs are typed directly into a browser? I don't really care if people can load them into web pages, I just want to stop people from typying http://www.blah.com/blah.jpg into a browser and seeing an image. Instead I want to redirect them to something else... a page of all images perhaps. Any thoughts? |

Not really possible. You could in theory check if the referer header is set, and if it's not redirect to the gallery, but that would prevent users who have disabled that (optional) part of HTTP from seeing your images. The best thing you can do is have http://www.blah.com/images/blah.jpg and have http://www.blah.com/images/ contain the gallery. This way people who want to access the gallery just have to remove blah.jpg to get there (or, in Opera, hold right-click, mouse up, mouse left, release right-click)
