[OzzModz] Disable Right Click

[ozzy47]

Another mod brought to you by,
https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/external/2015/01/1.png

This mod will act as a roadblock to prevent people from right clicking on your forum, offering some sort of protection from people copy & pasting your content.
There are ways to get round this but think of it as a stumbling block which might just discourage some people.

This blocks the ability to right click, and also blocks the ability to copy and paste through the context menu that appears when right clicking.

It is a simple installation, just import the product XML, ozzmodz_no_right_click

You can edit the options under the settings, [OzzModz] Disable Right Click Settings

Complete Feature List


Option to disable the mod completely.
Option to select which usergroups this mod will affect.


Frequently Asked Questions.

Q. Why do I need such a thing, you ask?

A. Some admins like to have this on their sites, so here it is. :)

Q. How do I change the error message?

A. Edit the phrase, ozzmodz_no_right_click_error. :)

What does 'Marking As Installed' do ?

* It helps you to stay on top of updates - members who have installed modifications will be notified whenever new updates are available.

* For security issues - vbulletin.org will contact all members who have installed a modification whenever a security issue is brought to their attention.

* Marking a modification as installed also helps me know how many people are using my work, giving me extra incentive to provide more features and new modifications.

I appreciate the support!

Thanks, yeah the usergroups is a bonus. Now of course there is ways around this, but this may stop some less tech savvy users.

And thanks for marking as installed. :)

I currently use this code in my headinclude with some "THIS_SCRIPT" conditions in an array. Any thoughts on an added option to enable or disable per script also? May come in handy for those who don't want to use it site wide.

Yes, that is standard behavior for most browsers. Some show the cancel box on first right click, some on second, some on the third try.

This mod will definitely not stop someone from copying text from your site if they really want it. There are numerous ways to get it, even with right click disabled. It will just slow them down a little and hopefully in that time you can get the point across that your work is not free to distribute.

I personally recommend adding a "Copyright Warning" to the message that appears on right click. That'll stop a few more.

Other than that don't waste your time worrying about trying to stop people because there is nothing you can do. The saying goes "If you don't want it copied, don't put it on the internet!".

There are legal ways to force people to remove it once it has been copied and posted somewhere else, but that is whole other topic and is pretty well documented - Google is your friend there.

[evelynpriscilla]

Yes i agree. I am going to hope that people who steal pictures are lazy and won't try more than once :)

[LLent]

if you disable java with this enable this mod useless ??

[Alibass]

dugh... coder states that it's just a stumbling block for most people and you can get around it.

[CUBS]

will this hinder search engines from searching your board some how

[tbworld]

Unfortunately, yes. But there is always a way to capture data, this MOD just makes it a bit more difficult.

[tbworld]

It should not. Right clicking of a mouse is not a function that a spider needs to simulate.

[LLent]

Thanks kinda thought that you could but wasnt sure

good idea but this mod isnt for me

[DemOnstar]

Installed and testing but I have no doubt that it probably works as it should.

Thanks again wherever you are these days.

<a href="https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=310934" target="_blank">This Modification</a> will become MOTM for May 2014 , I have already voted on this MOD !

[ozzy47]

Thanks for the vote. :)

Nice mod but should you not add credits to the author of the script?

http://dynamicdrive.com/dynamicindex9/noright.htm

I used to use this exact script on a website I ran years ago. The problem is most people by now will know that pressing "Ctrl + U" will show the source code of your site thus allowing your to copy/paste content from your site.

Firebug will also allow users to grab your image locations and copy your content. They could also disable JavaScript which will prevent this mod working.

[Toorak Times]

WOW, a mate was just telling how his WP site has this ability.

As a publisher with heaps of Contributors it is nice to know I have a measure to protect them.

[User4567]

Works well, only problem is that the hierarchical system of VB means everyone who has that group as just an additional, gets blocked, too.

So, all staff have the right click blocked, if they are registered members, if that group has it blocked too.

Installed and rated with 5 stars! Great work, Ozzy. :)

Can it be done that on certain forums right click is disabled for all, but on other forums just for guests?

Also is it possible that after warning message if user is again trying to use right click ...to redirect them to another site :D

Not as the mod is now.

I am not sure that is possible, but it would be something to look into at some time.

It might look like he is using that script but its only looks the same as both do the same thing

TBH, it is almost the exact same script, there is only one line of code that is different.

But with that said, I did not get the script from Dynamic, I had it on a old site of mine, and it was hard coded. Also if you look around the internet, there is hundreds of variations of that script. So I always leave the credit in the script if there is one, and when I got this years back, there was no credits to the person who posted it.

Is there a way to disable that also?!
Thanks in advance.
