adding an image to language template

Asked by Francisco Christophersen

I have been trying to add a local image and a favicon to the language template which shows up every time a site gets blocked, but i had no success.
So far i tried adding:
<img src="block.png">
to /etc/dansguardian/languages/arspanish/template.html
I also tried with:
<img src="file:///etc/dansguardian/languages/arspanish/block.png">
but it didn't work either.
the only thing that worked was
<img src="http://media.ereslibre.es/2008/07/icons/ink/dialog-cancel.png">
but i would like to use a local file if it's possible.
Another thing i wanted was to set a favicon:
<link rel="icon" href="favicon.png" type="image/png">
but guess what... it didn't work either.

Is there any solution?

Anyway, i wanted to thank you for all your hard work. One of the things i missed when i switched from windows was k9 web protection... until i found WebContentControl, it works great!

Mmh, I prepared a .tar.gz, but I can't attach anything here. :(
So instead, I copy-pasted the files at the end of this post.

1)Install apache:
sudo apt-get install apache2

2)Copy favicon.ico (your favicon), frog4.jpg (your image) and template.html (edit as necessary) into /var/www
sudo cp favicon.ico frog4.jpg template.html /var/www/

3)Edit the following lines in /etc/dansguardian/dansguardian.conf as follows:
reportinglevel = 2
accessdeniedaddress = 'http://localhost/template.html'

4)Restart dansguardian

IMPORTANT: Installing apache means that your PC is now a server and that everything in /var/www is potentially accessible from the internet.
I think it's pretty secure by default, but you should still be aware of that.

I haven't found any other way yet to get favicon + image working.
Perhaps you should ask the dansguardian developers.

The available variables are as follows:
- URL- gives the URL the user was trying to get to.
- REASONGIVEN- gives the nice reason (i.e. not quoting the banned phrase).
- REASONLOGGED- gives the reason that gets logged including full details.
- USER- gives the username if known.
- IP- gives the originating IP.
- HOST- gives the originating hostname if known.
- RAWFILTERGROUP- gives the group number.
- FILTERGROUP- gives the group name.
- SERVERIP- gives the IP address on which the filter is running (correct for multiple filterip lines, but not if filterip option is blank).
- BYPASS- gives URL which allows temporary bypass of denied page
- CATEGORIES- gives the categories assigned to the banned content

You need to remove the space between the - and the variable to use them
in your HTML. They are there above so extra processing is not required.

More example templates are likely to be found on the DansGuardian web site
on the Extras page.

# Download Managers

# There are various methods possible but not all are included.
# The author does not have the time to write them all so I have
# included a plugin systam. Also, not all methods work with all
# browsers and clients. Specifically some fancy methods don't
# work with software that downloads updates. To solve this,
# each plugin can support a regular expression for matching
# the client's user-agent string, and lists of the mime types
# and extensions it should manage.
#
# Note that these are the matching methods provided by the base plugin
# code, and individual plugins may override or add to them.

one more thing... i found it useful to install rapache, so i can easily see any access, and control the web server with a gui.
