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.

Nice one! Thanks for sharing....

This is very nice, exactly what I need.

If I enable this hack will it prevent my content from being searched by google or other search engines? In other words, will it have affect on seo?

Note that I have vbulletin archive disabled.

You do realise Java and Javascript are two different things, don't you? If someone has disabled Javascript, there's no point in sending them to java.com as they're two different things entirely.

Javascript is built into most modern browsers, whereas Java is a third party platform and an entirely different programming language.

No, this hack is content Javascript code and meta tag to prevent people from copies showtheards, printtheards and archive. search engines look page from source code, which that code is enable for me, you and google crawl spiders in every page we visited. becuase that I say "we can not completely prevent the visitors from copies" ..

archive is work as sitemap for your board, you really should think about enable it.
