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.

I've just read the Entire Thread and I Like a Lot the way you Provide Support, I've Clicked on Nominate For MOTM. :up:

I've read about this on the Thread but I'd like to Confirm it:

-1- Can This Mod Affect in Any Way the Search Engines Bots (Google, Yahoo, MSN, Google Ads Bots) From Indexing my Forums and all the Content of Threads in it? (on the Normal View and also on the Archive View?)

-2- Can This Mod Affect in Any Way the Work of the Google Ads? I mean by Affecting in Any Way the Clicks of Users on Them? Perhaps the Clicks Not To Be Effective and that Kind of Problems?

I'll Appreciate a Lot Your Answers.

My Best Regards.

Idea: Is it Possible to Add an Option to Use the Protection on the vBulletin Blogs?

Or Perhaps what Edits should be made on the Plugins to do this and Protect the Blog Entries?

Blog entries are like: [PATH]/blog.php?b=1

(this for Blog 1, for Blog 2 it'd be [PATH]/blog.php?b=2, ...)

My Best Regards.

hello inciarco,

-1- Can This Mod Affect in Any Way the Search Engines Bots

I think not.. search engines bots offside directly to source code. this mod prevent the front page. which is not the way that search engines bots interact with websites.

Can This Mod Affect in Any Way the Work of the Google Ads?

absolutely not. this hack work togather with Google ads without any problems

Is it Possible to Add an Option to Use the Protection on the vBulletin Blogs?

I think not .. I need to know template the blog work with to include them in next version.

If you have any further questions or concerns, just drop me a line

Great Improvements al3bed. :up:

Idea: I noticed that on Browsers, when you Click and Hold on an Image you can Drag it Outside and Drop it on other Window and/or Application such as Word or PowerPoint.

Is there a Possibility to Disable Drag and Dropping on Browsers so that Images can't be Extracted that way?

My Best Regards, and Thank You Very Much For Sharing This New Update. :up:
