Some URLs can cause issues because of code conflicts, or redirects when used in a Widget. These URLs are not malicious but can cause problems for the User and it may be necessary to block them from use in a Widget. Other times a System Administrator might decide that a URL needs to be off limits for other reasons like it is a resource drain. For this reason, PCR-360 has a built-in blacklist for these URLs.

Adding a URL to Widget Blacklist

Navigate to Admin > System Tables > Widget URL Blacklist

Click the 'Add' button
The 'Add New Block Domain' form will open.
Enter the 'Domain' into the required Domain text box
Blacklist sub-domains if desired by clicking the check box
Enter notes to explain why the Domain was Blacklisted for latter reference.
Click the 'Save New' button

The domain will now be blacklisted.

Editing a Blocked Domain

Click the 'Edit Selected' button
The Manage Block Domain data entry form will open.
Edit the information desired.
Click the 'Save' button

Removing a URL from Blacklist

Select the domain to remove and click the 'Delete Selected' button .

Toggling Status

Sometimes it is easier to select a domain for access, without deleting your inputs. An easy way to address this is with the 'Toggle Status' button. Select the domain to make active and click the 'Toggle Status' button .

If a domain was added to a Widget BEFORE it was added to the blacklist, or a domain is 'Toggled' from Active to Inactive then PCR-360 will replace the domain in the Widget with the text 'This URL is blacklisted'.

See the following example:

.Widget URL Blacklist v2018.1

.Widget URL Blacklist v2.1.4.7
