Mac the Knife Posted November 28, 2005 Share Posted November 28, 2005 I'm in the process of revamping my organization's web site for 2006, and as part of the re-design will be including the great work that pcgd, jpslapshot, and Doug Fairchild (forgot his handle here) have done for us over the years.Only after our intellectual property theft in 2005, I'd like to "double-protect" the designs: by both watermarking them and making it impossible for someone to right-click and "Save Picture As." Unfortunately, I've never done either so I haven't a clue how to do it.Can anyone offer any help on one or both of these processes? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CJR Posted November 28, 2005 Share Posted November 28, 2005 You can use JavaScript to disable right-clicking, but that will only work for people who have JavaScript enabled. If someone really wants the image, they can disable JavaScript, pull the image out of their cache, or browse straight to the image file (among other things). You can stop people from doing all of that if you really want to do some work, but you can't stop everything. How much do you want to put into this?

pollux Posted November 28, 2005 Share Posted November 28, 2005 Here's the script Yzer was talking about... Found it in a few seconds on the internet <script language=JavaScript><!--//Disable right mouse click Script//By Maximus (maximus@nsimail.com) w/ mods by DynamicDrive//For full source code, visit http://www.dynamicdrive.comvar 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>But as he said, there's a certain protection limit you can achieve when posting pictures on the internet, even if it is on your personal website. You can never block the "print screen" option...

Mings Posted November 28, 2005 Share Posted November 28, 2005 just copy and paste in the body of the html code? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pollux Posted November 28, 2005 Share Posted November 28, 2005 Not in the body...You have to cut and paste it in the head of the document.<html><head><title>Title</title>//Here</head><body>...</body></html> Four times IHL Nielson Cup Champions - Montréal Shamrocks (2008-2009 // 2009-2010 // 2012-2013 // 2014-2015) Five times TNFF Confederation Cup Champions - Yellowknife Eagles (2009 CC VI // 2010 CC VII // 2015 CC XII // 2017 CC XIV // 2018 CC XV) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CJR Posted November 28, 2005 Share Posted November 28, 2005 I actually didn't even have that code, otherwise I would have supplied it. To protect some of the stuff on DetroitHockey.Net, I use a Flash/PHP combination that blocks caching, direct linking, and saving. But like pollux said, you can't stop the "print screen" button.

Mings Posted November 28, 2005 Share Posted November 28, 2005 while we are at it, is there a way to lock flash files so that if taken from a site, they wont open without a password or just not open at all (except on the site itself)? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IIRC ('cause I'm being a slacker and not looking up my own code right now), you can use a preloader to load a swf that isn't cached and is only accessible when requested by your server. When someone tries to save the movie, they get the preloader. When they try to browse to the file, they get blocked.

bhambruiser Posted November 28, 2005 Share Posted November 28, 2005 i understand the concerns, but i have pretty much given up on trying to protect images from being stolen- if someone wants it- they will get it...that doesn't mean you can't turn around and sue...just sayin' Millican StudiosMillican Studios Blog Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OHLArenaGuide Posted November 28, 2005 Share Posted November 28, 2005 Disabling right click will just annoy your visitors. It takes all of five seconds to get around it, even for an amateur. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leafs13 Posted November 29, 2005 Share Posted November 29, 2005 All I have to say is this: If you can see it on your monitor, it can be stolen. Simple as that sorry to say. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can do it again. It seems to be a bigger PITA than its really worth doing either, at least at the moment anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
