right click copy

[Stephanie]

This seems like a great site and i would love to post my pictures here and enter the contests, except that just anybody can come along and right click copy the pictures into their computer. Most sites dont allow this. Why is it done here? This doesnt seem very wise to me.

This is something that is not usually allowed, but we have been working on the site and it is temporarily off.


It will be turned back on shortly.

That being said, preventing RC is not fool proof at all. There are several ways to defeat this on any site. We recommend that if you are concerned about people stealing your work, you add a watermark to your images.

For more information on a free program that will help you with this read this thread. (http://www.thephotostation.net/forums/showthread.php?t=1676)

Thank you for your question Stephanie, and welcome!

Right click is no longer allowed. The code to prevent this has been reactivated.

Thats a great idea. I have to many valuable here for someone else to try to use. I thank the management team for doing this for us.

In that case Lew , I would make sure nobody can right click on your own website too! :rolleyes:

I would if I knew how.

[kevinrstruck]

LEW - It is actually quite easy. I will post the code here, but just be warned that there are several ways around this that I know of, and probably a couple more I do not know of.


<script>
isNN = document.layers ? 1 : 0;
function noContext(){return false;}
function noContextKey(e) {
if(isNN){
if (e.keyCode == 96){ return (false);}
} else {
if (event.keyCode == 96){ return (false);}
}
}
function noClick(e){
if(isNN){
if(e.which > 1) {return false;}
} else {
if(event.button > 1){return false;}
}
}
if(isNN){
document.captureEvents(Event.MOUSEDOWN);
}
document.oncontextmenu = noContext;
document.onkeypress = noContextKey;
document.onmousedown = noClick;
document.onmouseup = noClick;
</script>


You place this on each page you want to protect.

Boy, what are the odds, I turn it off for 20 minutes to make a change to the code in the Reg galleries, and you try it just then.

It is back on so give it another try... :D

It was turned on to allow one of the membes to take their images from the Old gallery and put them in the new gallery. It was only active on the old galleries not on the ProGallery.

It is back to normal now.

Weird I can not right click on it. I will try on a couple other PC's and browsers and see if I can reproduce but no luck so far.

Still can not right click.

If you do attach an image in the forums, you will be able to right click on that image. The protection is only enabled in the actual galleries, not in the forums.

No No , the photo you see in the forum was the one I pinched from Ungaloobs pro gallery
:eek:

[kevinrstruck]

Yes, I realize it, but I just wanted to point out that there is no rc protection the in the forums.

I checked the code and it is functioning properly. I will try later on a couple different PC's later today. I tried on my main PC, my backup and my Laptop, and I could not right click on any of them. :confused:

[Ungaloob]

Just for the record, I went into my gallery and was unable to right click any of the photos I tried, including my picture of the deer that oostermeijer "pinched" the other day.
