Can anybody help me disabling the right mouse button in pixelpost?
I'm new to php, i've tried to disable the right click by javascript in my image_template.html , and in the preview of the file html it works just fine, but then when I run pixepost seems that the script gets ignored, I guess it's related with index.php.

Any help please?


Thank's in advance.

you could try using the php function - echo - (you'll see it around index.php so should be able to learn that little bit yourself) to include the javascript into index.php itself.

i don't understand why it doesn't work through the templates though! that's odd.

As a begginer I tried to understand the echo function and I guess the basics I understood, but i guess it's a little bit harder integrate the javascript code in the index.php.

This is the javascript I'm trying to use:

<script language="JavaScript">
function click() {
if (event.button==2||event.button==3) {
alert('Right click not allowed, All rights reserverd.')
}
}
document.onmousedown=click
</script>

Can anyone give me a little help using this code in the index.php file?
The code works perfectly in the image_template.html file, but won't work when I run pixelpost.

Thanks

i can't see why this shouldn't work in atemplate - even the simple template uses JS in it.

there is possibly something wrong with the script itself?

by the way - this method is not a very effective way of preventing image thievery and to be honest is just plain annoying when users like me want to right click or something to open a new tab.

I made it, thought i did it other way. And this way the user won't get the Copyright message, but at least my photos will not be stolen and posted in other fotologs, wich is a thing that happens a lot.

So to everyone that for some purpose want to disable the right mouse button just add inside your <body> this:

<body oncontextmenu=" return false" onselectstart=" return true" ondragstart=" return false">

Hope it helps. If anyone knows how to integrate the other code with the warning pop up message, that i showed in my previous post, I would appreciate it.

Thanks.

well, why would you disable basic functions of the browser? Not many users do like that and it won't help you anything as all images which yo present in a website are stored in the cache of the user's browser.

So your idea just annoys many users or your site but does not protect your image. A better protection of your image would be:

- watermark
- exif-data with info about your copyright
- other image data with info about your copyright (I forget the name, TPC?)

plus: a photo prepared for a website is always in so bad resolution that it can be recycled only in other webpages...

plus: if you do disable the right context-menu, others will just hotlink your image and steel your bandwidth from their pages

so this disabling is not very helpful, some people even call it bullshit ;=)
