Add-On Releases - Ain

hi all,


attention: Support questions from members who have not marked this as installed - as same as - who have marked as installed will be considered high priority. I believe that who 'mark as Installed' it will make it easy to him to get updates.


About this add-on:
This hack find the advanced options to prevent copies of the topics easily - which I mean source code not easily way to copy threads - This hack leaves several disrupt things in the face when visitor wants copies topic - see characteristics.


why this mod:
may someone wondering why this hack? because it work only if javascript is enabled. so if any one disable javascript he/she will able to do every things this hack may prevent from them. every one want to use this have a reason, I guess you have an answer for this.

I really agree to not to insult human intelligence. Its never a good idea to fight with your users but I need to protect my content from kids?! beleive me! my society have many kids which they competing which one of them will steal new topics first. this hack helped me more than I expected.


characteristics:

• main options: Attachment 95523
  • prevent members you want them unable to copy texts.
  • prevent groups you want them unable to copy texts.
  • prevent newbies from quoting before x posts.
  • exclude or add forums from shading and selecting text.
• data protection options:
  • disable right click visitor will be prohibited to right click on text, graphics and links.
  • disable off-line page viewing vistor cannot view the webpage in offline status.
  • disable page printing, when printing the content of web page will be automatically hidden.
• prevent browsers options: Attachment 95524
  • prevent opera browser
  • prevent Mozilla firefox browser
  • prevent Apple safari browser
  • prevent Microsoft Internet Explorer browser
• meta tags options:
  • disable image toolbar
  • disable page caching
  • disable smart tags
  • disable search engine robots
• other features:
  • forcing to use Javascript, some intelligent people disable JavaScript in his browser and easily copies text. I do a meta refresh to redirect people not using JavaScript to page that tell them they need to activate it. this also by the way can be overmaster by someone. Attachment 95521
  • message to show to users who are prevented from using right-click. Attachment 95525
  • this hack work on 5 places: showtheard, printtheard, archive, showpost and newreplay templates.
  • we cannot completely prevent the visitors from copies if we want search engines archiving our sites, but if we cover up and hide entire text from visitors... this shortcoming will reduce the number of visitors and search spiders expelled completely and reduce archiving. so many of sites take off from the way that hide links and topics and start to think in prevent copying.

thanks for this useful tool, but however they still can get the content by view source anyway..., right? Can you make it somehow not to display the content on source?

Blocking the right click might working on IE, but not on FF.

there is no way to prevent 'view source' because its simply html. And any browser need source code to show your site design.

right click option and other options work on all browsers (IE, FF, NC, ..etc) except opera browser; because that I add option to prevent opera. if you don't belive me try it ..

the benefit of this hack is to complicating the way for copying from users. This is prefect hack for users who steal topics from others sites, prefect for whom search to increase there registration and for whom try to keep special things for users and don't want to loss SEO profit.

.. thanks for you comment

Deer Defkalion, this version release for you ..

[rapidphim]

can we add an extra field for per user ID? because enable this, it will prevent lots of regular members. I do want to block guest, validating email, and per user ID.

[Defkalion]

Ah! This is great.

Thankyou very much mister al3bed

Edit: there must be somewhere something wrong with the div's because in the forum I enabled it, the template is all messed up, my header appears twice and I get a "/div>" floating around. :P
