You may not fetch images from that site. To enable this site in timthumb, you can either add it to $ALLOWED_SITES and set ALLOW_EXTERNAL=true. Or you can set ALLOW_ALL_EXTERNAL_SITES=true, depending on your security needs. #406

Hello, I am experiencing a very long load time for a website I'm building. I 
think I've narrowed the problem down to my timthumb getting hung up on trying 
to fetch images from external sites. 

Here's the message I'm getting:

"You may not fetch images from that site. To enable this site in timthumb, you 
can either add it to $ALLOWED_SITES and set ALLOW_EXTERNAL=true. Or you can set 
ALLOW_ALL_EXTERNAL_SITES=true, depending on your security needs."

I have attached the timthumb.php file and also an image that shows what I'm 
seeing. 

I would like to set ALLOW_ALL_EXTERNAL_SITES=true. Can someone tell me what 
line this is located in or even change it for me?

For security reasons it is better to add the particular site you are pulling 
images from to the allowed site list starting at line 125

If you don't mind opening up your site to hacks like the Pharma hack then you 
need to set the line 33 to "true"

33 define ('ALLOW_ALL_EXTERNAL_SITES', false); 

The other thing to consider is the external site might have hot linking 
blocked. Make up a simple test page that uses an example image from the site in 
question and see if it show up on the page. If you get an error or the image 
doesn't show on the page then that site might have linking blocked

ALLOW_EXTERNAL not working!

stopped by line

echo $imgData;
return false;
exit(0);

and not requests data from the array (ALLOW_EXTERNAL)
