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.

there is nothing wrong with the code. Must be from your custom template.

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

Ok guys thanks, I will try to figure it out

[mark370]

al3bed thanks for this mod i really like the options it has and it suits my site really well BUT ive just tryed this with firefox3 and i can still get the content.
Try it yourself browse to the page with the images on you want, then disable javascript in browser, then right click the image you wana steal !!
it will only let you grab the images though untill you refresh then you can copy and paste again ect,ect

Admitinly on refresh your redirect page pop-up comes up but if you simply dont allow the redirect the content is yours for the picking.

Maybe more research is needed for this mod to work 100% ?


Edit.... just reread thread again and i misunderstood this mod at first as i thought it completely stoped the right click ect,ect,
looks like this is WIP so i hope these little issues can be sorted in near future

mmm.. I will use css to solve this problem and release 2.2
thank you for this useful information ..

maybe some people is good text mugger by disabling javascript and stop meta redirect, but when he face to face with css he will can't disable it. And if he want to steal some texts is better to him go to source code with all codes there.

I will need your help surely to test it in all browsers & other operating systems if you can

we can disable print screen by using javascript code. I test it on IE its work but didn't work with FF. this code actually disable clipboard, when you open IE page use this code you can't copy anything in your computer

I will check it for a bit maybe I found some interesting things. also I test css code with IE&FF it's work prefect and now when smart users try to disable javascript they will shock when they see that they can't copy anything

I have some ideas rotate in my head to prevent caching and disabling off-line page viewing but I don't have anything now. next release will be here tonight or maybe
