18+ Age Restriction on selected photos?

[Finner]

I'm wondering if there's an addon (i've looked and couldn't see one...) that will display a consent form prior to viewing an image or gallery that is selected as inappropriate for those under the age of 18..?

For the current site i'm developing, there is a lot of nude photography... I know youngins can always say they're over 18, but it would also serve as a warning as to the content they're about to see should they not wish to..

I did see it on one website, but I can't for the life of me remember which one it was... used the moo.fx type page overlay prior to the page loading.

Great idea, I would be interested in this feature as well Thanks for suggesting it.

I would have sworn Vernon.Trent had it on his site, but it's not there now. Either he took it off or I am mistaken (which isn't unusual).

I haven't had much luck trying to find an external script to add, but I did find the site I saw it being used on - http://www.dailysnap.com/2007/0312.shtml
You can turn off the warnings too, cos I can imagine it would get pretty annoying if you got the warning photo after photo.

I also wonder if it could be placed over a gallery page for nudes, and say 'these images contain nudity...',

No one has any suggestions?
Is a rather important aspect that needs to be added to the site..

I'm not really inclined to spend a lot of effort working on something I wouldn't use, all my shots are SFW, but I do have a couple of suggestions.

dailysnap is using CSS to draw a layer over the image with the warning. Once you click that you agree to see the nudes, a javascript hides that layer. A very simple solution, that wouldn't require an addon, would be to create your image_template with the hide/unhide javascript and the warning layer on by default. Use the tag <TAG_IMG_LIST> to write all the tags into a javascript string, check the string for a certain tag like "nude" and if it's not there hide the warning layer.

A more elegant approach would be to create an addon that only draws the warning layer if the image has the requisite tags.

oh and it looks like I was wrong about my comment above. dailysnap was the one I was thinking.

you're right.
I was testing a techniqe to hide some of my nude shots.
it works fine with the "secret image" addon from austriaka.

I didn't even think of that.

Just upload a warning message as your default and use the secret image addon to display the nude, etc.

Granted it's not a slick as the posted example but this should work.
