another right click question

[EricKonieczny]

I have done the search on the forum and came across many messages that seem not to fit with the current version of 1.5 EE.

I want to disable Right Click, I know it is not full proof but its better than nothing, I would rather not use the flash option setting.

I came across this suggestion but if put it in the Msc Setting header box, all this code shows up . Is it still able to be used and where do i place it? in the photo.php file?


<META HTTP-EQUIV="imagetoolbar" CONTENT="no">
<script language="JavaScript">
var msg="(C) Copyright James Grove 2002 All Rights Reserved";
function disableIE() {if (document.all) {alert(msg);return false;}
}
function disableNS(e) {
if (document.layers||(document.getElementById&&!docum ent.all)) {
if (e.which==2||e.which==3) {alert(msg);return false;}
}
}
if (document.layers) {
document.captureEvents(Event.MOUSEDOWN);document.o nmousedown=disableNS;
} else {
document.onmouseup=disableNS;document.oncontextmen u=disableIE;
}
document.oncontextmenu=new Function("alert(msg);return false")
</script>

Pekka,

LOL Thats my code!

PS It doesnt work anyway, the only way to protect your images is to watermark them, or get them displayed in Flash.

Firefox is now becomming a standard for internet browsers and the no right click doesnt work.

IMHO watermark your images.!!!

Yes the sad thruth is that as long as you show image on web page there is absolutely no way to prevent your image being stealed. You can spend hours and hours for making all the precautions but then comes in the hacker and does PrintScreen and pastes your image to PS.

Use smaller images, watermark them and have a coyright notice on every page. If someone steals you images you can sue them and/or send them a bill and you will always win.

PS. In next EE there is a very secure login and permission system in case you want to allow some people to see larger images.

I agree with Pekka, every method of preventing images being stolen can easily be beaten with a screen grab. I've seen the transparent gif method, the image slicing into many smaller images method, and they can all be beaten with a simple screen grab.

I used to find my photos copied onto other sites and if a polite request for their removal was ignored I'd contact their host about it, giving full details and how it breached their AUP, and they usually pulled the whole site.

If you don't want your images stolen, don't post them on the web
