I want to force SSL through htaccess. Is there anything special I need to do to MetaMirror options after forcing SSL in htaccess?

No, it's your own site where you need to force SSL protocol. This add-on is transparent to that.

I would use the data and internal settings in config.php and be sure to put the url as https:// I use a second domain for my MetaMirror for cookie purposes, both domains force SSL.

When I disable this addon, my attachments are gone.

I only disabled it because I wanted to make it so that guests can't view attachments.

Which option will let me apply permissions to guests?

Default

or

External Data?

or both?

Amazon S3 + CloudFront is the best option if you want secured access for your files.

Other than that, all other options can be harden but is not completely safe: users can share the link after they get redirected, the link is completely unprotected (because they are static file).

That's okay with me because I'm using hotlink protection. I just want to make it so that guest can't view.

Not so much for actual people's sake but advertisers sake so they can't complain about an image and stop serving ads.

I can add an option to check permission before redirecting I guess.

When I restrict an account from being able to view attachments (like guests for instance), they cannot see the attachment full image in the post. Instead, they see it as a thumbnail. When they click on it, normally, they shouldn't be able to view right? In this addon if they click the image it opens up into another window and shows them the full image. Is that what you mean by "check permission" so that it doesn't let them see the full image?

Yes. That's what I meant.

Hey is there any chance to import the files ?

Sorry I didn't understand your question.

If you wish to move files from default location to locations supported by this add-on then: yes. There is a built in tool that let you do just that.

v0.10.1 has been released with new "Enforce Permission" option, you can enable that to make sure permissions are checked properly.

I was using a cdn which uses a cname record to the cdn's domain.

I want to stop using that cdn for a moment to test out hotlinking on my site using my own site as a cdn (external data path)

How do I do that in Simple Zone Editor of cPanel?

Do I create a cname entry for my site site's data folder or a A record for my site pointing to my ip address?

Can just use ip/data/ since your only using it for your testing.. don't even need a dns record

 

[MattW]

If you are still using the 8thos.com address, you need to create a cname entry for it, that points back to your A record

Cool. If I decide to keep it can I leave it like that or is it required that I make an actual subdomain?

Huh?
