right click disabled

[infra-greg]

Hi Everyone

I was wondering what happened to the original coppermine website. Strange events indeed. I hope Greg is allright. I guess that's the most important thing.

Thanks to Gaugau and everyone else for their dedication and hard work in continuing the coppermine script in its current form.

Anyway. I think I remember there being some hack/code/modification on the original site that prevented people from right clicking and saving an image.

Am I correct in this? Or is my brain crossing wires If this code/hack does exist can someone please post it? Pretty Please??? I really need it...

Thanks heaps

Ineffective as it is - prevention of Right Click is an admin settable feature in the next release. - Comming soon

Javascript is like a latex condom. You have no protection when your user isn't using it.

Hi Tarique

Thanks for the speedy reply. Not wishing to sound rude or pushy or anything...I've only just stumbled on the forum 10 mins ago...so haven't had time to read the posts regarding new version, etc, etc.

But do you know when this version/feature will be released? An approxiamate time will do

thanks again..

hopefully sometime October 2003 (we have a design freeze today, the translation files will go out to the original translators and we'll only be bug-fixing from now on :wink: )

If you don't want to wait, just use one of the scripts from http://dynamicdrive.com/dynamicindex9/index.html and build it in...

Thanks heaps GauGau

Will follow your suggestion I initially thought that because the script was php, that the usual javascript right click thing wouldn't be applicable. Seeing that it is, it should be a breeze....even for a code phobic like me

thx again

hehe, just fyi: php is a server-sided scripting language, which produces html output - and html can contain JavaScript bits, of course. In fact, there already are some bits of coppermine that only work with JavaScript (slideshow, fullsize pop-up etc.)...

FYI, if your visitor is using Opera, there's no way to disable right-click...

Not only Opera, but most browsers on the Mac platform.

Oh well, pictures and galleries are meant to be seen anyway.. and on the net, nothing is safe - only saved (pun intended).

I always get around those right-click issues, by "view source" or "alt-print screen".
