Just a quick question about the gallery module. I have a template group called images.

http://www.domain.com/images/

I want to redirect 404 if there is any other segments added.

i.e If you type

http://www.domain.com/images/blahblahfakeurl/

It will load up the index. How can you stop this?

Try something like this in your images/index template:

{if segment_2}{redirect="404"}{/if}

Hi,

That’s the initial solution I tried before posting this topic. It does not work. I believe redirect only works in a weblog entries tag.

Also in my gallery category page I am trying

{exp:gallery:entries gallery="{gallery_name}"  orderby="date" sort="asc" columns="4" rows="5" paginate="both"}
{if no_results}
  {redirect="404"}
{/if}

But if you go to

http://www.domain.com/images/category/C8/P35000/

It just shows the first page instead of a 404 error

Thanks

In fact it’s the same with all urls.

http://www.domain.com/images/view/2209/ is a standard url to view an image. But one can type in http://www.domain.com/images/view/2209/blahblahfake/

Is there some kind of plugin that you can use to examine the url? Can i use regex? I’m not quite sure what I can with php in the templates yet. Are the templates executed before any output is sent? or are they executed “as you go”?

I could use php to do what i need to do if it is all parsed before hand.

You can set PHP to be parsed before or after, just set it to “input” or “output” in Templates > Template Preferences Manager

Is there not a built in solution? I try to avoid hacking stuff in unless it is absolutely not doable.

Thanks
