Topic: Pre Approve Topics Posted: 02 May 2008 at 2:38pm |
I use pre approve topics to view items ppl are trying to delete.
I was wondering, Bruce, if when i "delete" an item from pre_approved_topics.asp then the website goes back to pre_approved_topics.asp and not to the forum where the deleted item was. I was just wondering if a future release of WebWiz.
Thanks mate,
keep up the supurb job

It's like this at the moment as the delete file is the same file throughout the forum, would need to look at passing across some data so that it knows which page to return to.

http_referer isnt reliable since people can turn it off, also some anti-virus or security software disable it as well.

HTTP_REFERER also uses the browser header to get this data.
Browser headers are not a secure source of data as they can very easily be manipulated and changed.

Then you mean there is no trusted way to know from where the user came from? I mean from the server?

There isn't this information as well as allot of other information about the user is only available through the browser header which can be manipulated, even IP addresses can be hidden or altered.
This is due to the anonymous way HTTP works, otherwise we would all need to log into web sites.
