Disabling "Right Click" On Pages

fmk · January 02, 2011, 11:44:31 PM

Disabling "Right Click" Using Javascript in Theme's Template.html could be a good idea to prohibit users from viewing the page sources that actually includes the albums/myalbums path and image paths.

Although I am waiting for a good pluginhttp://forum.coppermine-gallery.net/index.php/topic,69397.0.html, but I tried using this in Theme's Template.html

Code Select


<script language=JavaScript>
<!--

//Disable right mouse click Script

var message="Function Disabled!";

///////////////////////////////////
function clickIE4(){
if (event.button==2){
alert(message);
return false;
}
}

function clickNS4(e){
if (document.layers||document.getElementById&&!document.all){
if (e.which==2||e.which==3){
alert(message);
return false;
}
}
}

if (document.layers){
document.captureEvents(Event.MOUSEDOWN);
document.onmousedown=clickNS4;
}
else if (document.all&&!document.getElementById){
document.onmousedown=clickIE4;
}

document.oncontextmenu=new Function("alert(message);return false")

// --> 
</script>

Can Devs make a small plugin out of it?

Disabling the right click doesn't increase the security. You always can access the page source with the browser menu and/or a keyboard shortcut. Disabling JavaScript disables your script, too.

You can do that yourself. Just have a look at some already existing plugins that just add some JavaScript (e.g. the Keyboard Navigation plugin).

You were right Andre, that script blocked my user login for some reason. Login was looping back to Index.php showing Welcome Guest on the top and user remained unlogged-in even after entering the username/password. That was happening on system that didn't have cookies for my site. But I was able to login after a few hours on my PC, so I am now quit sure what was the exact issue but I have removed the script. As far plugin creating is concerned, I don't know coding.

I use this script for mine with no issues:
in template.html between <body> & {CUSTOM_HEADER}
