You know those scripts that free webspace providers use to automatically insert banner html into pages? Does anyone have a script like this? Thanks.

Was wondering myself - would be interesting to see in action if nothing else.

Also how does angelfire stop people leeching images, and fortunecity files?

it's in the webserver config files. It's east to get the server to add a bit to all the html files it server and likewise it can refuse to serve .gif .jpg files unless you are already on the site. http headers sent with the request include the url that the browser is at. If that's not in the right domain then they don't serve you the file.

you could do a script that put in a banner in javascript and add it to the page but people would just cheat and remove them well I would anyway

The virtualave/hypermart banners were very easy to remove.

ALL ads are easy to kill, of course thats why I use paid hosting and only hypermart to test my scripts out :P

the purpose of the question is simply because I want to add some html to the top of my pages, but I don't want to have to go through every page and insert an ssi tag...

write a simple perl script to add them for you ;-)

If someone does write a perl script that does this - I wouldn't mind grabbing a copy ;)

I'm pretty sure you could easily do that. All you would have to do is have a perl script that goes through all the dir's and find certain files (ie- html, htm, shtml, etc.) and use the push function to add the code after a certain tag such as the body tag.

I could be completely wrong about this, but I did some fliping through my copy of Perl for Dummies and it looks possible...

I had the same sort of thing, exept it wasn't perl for dummies. Problem is it would probably take too long and not even work anyways. Id rather someone else did it and told me how to do it properly or maybe even give me a copy ;)

They cant. The listed code for WZ doesnt work.

laurie, you could try something like this:

perl -pi.bak -e "s/<body bgcolor="#ffffff" text="#000000" id=all>/$&<!--#your SSI tag -->/g" *.html;

Of course, if your shell doesn't support wildcards you'll need to list each filename individually or get bash.

Referers.

I didn't type in any of those attributes for the body tag, vB must have added them for some reason..anyways, you'll need to write the body tag exactly as it is in all of your HTML pages. On second thought, here's a better version that will work with any body tag:

perl -pi.bak -e "s/\x3Cbody[^>]*>/$&<!--#SSI tag-->/g" *.html

Hope this helps.
