Hello

I'm looking for a way to restrict domain submission to european only (.de, .it, .es, .ro etc). Can somebody tell me how to do that?

Thanks

I am not aware of a way to restrict the domain type, probably the best way to do it would be through htaccess file and to ban country by IP. That works if you want to ban complete areas look at this site for an easy way to do it.

block a country, block by ip address, deny access by country

Thanks for sharing the resources. This is really good & simple trick to block a country specific traffic.

thanks, but i would like to restrict domains instead of users. I think i should manage $url variable from submit.php file, but i don't know how

Ok, i think i solve it. For anyone interested, I add this code in /submit.php, after $url = html_entity_decode($url);

$ext = substr(strrchr($url, "."), 1);
if ($ext == 'de' || $ext == 'it' || $ext == 'eu')  { //add more extensions here
$url == "";
} else {
echo "Your domain doesn't belong to European countries";
return;
}

Please test it on localhost first

Unfortunately, it doesn't work ok. If url doesn't end with desired extension, i get error (for example, an url like this: http://www.story.eu/great-stories cannot be submited)

I'm still looking for help..
