Topic: Guests causing errors in log when viewing attachments

[willerby]

Having recently upgraded to SMF RC2 and Simple Portal 2.3.1 using Curver theme, I am getting a couple of hundred erros in the log each day which seem to be guests trying to view attachments in posts.

Possibly Simple Portal related but not sure...

Errors in batches as follows:

Any ideas?

Errors occur whether guests are allowed to view attachments or not. Would therefore seem to be spiders revisiting images previously accessed as human users would not be able to access that URL and would not try as often as when images denied.

Thanks

I believe that your issue is related to this SMF bug: http://dev.simplemachines.org/mantis/view.php?id=3862

Forcing the theme to load even for attachments should fix this issue.

Try the edit below:

Code: ("Find (index.php)") [Select]

// Attachments don't require the entire theme to be loaded.
if (isset($_REQUEST['action']) && $_REQUEST['action'] == 'dlattach' && (!empty($modSettings['allow_guestAccess']) && $user_info['is_guest']))
detectBrowser();
// Load the current theme.  (note that ?theme=1 will also work, may be used for guest theming.)
else
loadTheme();

Code: [Select]

// Attachments don't require the entire theme to be loaded.
/*if (isset($_REQUEST['action']) && $_REQUEST['action'] == 'dlattach' && (!empty($modSettings['allow_guestAccess']) && $user_info['is_guest']))
detectBrowser();
// Load the current theme.  (note that ?theme=1 will also work, may be used for guest theming.)
else*/
loadTheme();

Ah! Thanks Nathaniel. That would explain it.

Will try out the fix tonight.
