URL blocker text for portions of one site

dnimmer · Post by **dnimmer** » Thu Mar 12, 2009 4:13 pm

Hello all,

We need to try to allow access to only one site.

ex: can't type in example - first post

But we need to have access to only a portion of the site

/default (... more stuff afterwards)
/search (... more stuff afterwards)

but not

/frameset (... more stuff afterwards)

plus when we add the easicat site it blocks all other uses within the site once the site first loads.

So we either get all open access or everything gets blocked - but it does not block the OKed portion of the site the same as the specifically blocked portion of the site.

Can we do a variable (*)? or do the site added for use have implicit truncation?

Thanks,

David

You can use regular expressions in the PWB INI file.

So something like the following would work.

+^http://default/
+^http://search/

This limits PWB to URLs that start with the above.

Your answer is kind of vague. I am a newbie. I am having the same problem. Where would I put the urls in the PWB INI file? I have tried filters to no avail at the suggested link.

They don't seem to work. I looked through the PWB INI file and could not find anywhere I could put just the links that are allowed.

You put the URLs in the URL filter file after enabling the URL filter.

Here more information on the PWB Filters:

To enable the filters set the respective setting in the INI file to true.

[Security]
...
CheckURLAccess=False
CheckIPAccess=False
...

The file PWB parses for the filter is indicated in the respective INI settings.

[Files]
...
CheckURLFile=.\URL.txt
CheckIPFile=.\IP.txt
...

Essentially you enable the filter in the INI file... [Security]CheckURLAccess=True, and edit the filter file assigned in the INI file... [Files]CheckURLFile=URL.txt, with notepad. A sample "URL.txt" file can be found in the folder where you install PWB.

Please note, if you do not have the known extensions showing, the sample URL filter in the PWB file file normally has a Notepad icon and is named "URL".

Showing known file exentions.
