Image Security

[Smokeygrey]

Works very well, Todge

This is a very useful plugin for my forum.

Thankyou for sorting this out for us.

Just had a report that my members are still able to copy and paste any images from our forum, even though they are not logged in.

I have the variables set to block guests!

Is there a reason for this please ?

[Todge]

Could you link me to your forum, preferably a thread with images posted, and what browser is this member using?

The members that have reported they can still copy, are a mixture of Firefox, Chrome and IE users

I have been testing this myself, and find that I can copy and download images from our forum, ( When NOT logged in )  for a few times, and then it begins to work, and will not let me copy.

The problem seems to be with the loading time of the page. While the page is loading the images are all accessible, until loading has finished, when the code will click in and secure the images. For some reason the page seems to take longer to load as a guest than as a member.

I have disabled right clicking in general until the page has loaded, after the images have been secured, right clicking will be re-instated.

So... Try v1.2.1 in the first post.

Thanks Todge.

I have updated.  That seems to have done the trick !

No worries..

Will this protect all images? Smileys and all?

[Willing Sniper]

This is doing nothing. Is it because I am admin?

Have you enabled the plugin?

[Todge]

Who has access to the images depends on the settings you select. If you select 'All', no-one should have access to the images, that includes the admin.

The code targets images over 50 pixels wide to stop it targeting most smilies. The reason I did that is because the code will put the images on a separate line when adding the protection, and smilies are meant to be used within the text of the post. At least that's what I think.

If you want the plugin to effect ALL images, including smilies, I can make the changes for you.

I do have it set to all, but I am able to right click on images. I checked on the other sites using your code and was not able to. Yes I have enabled the plugin Rita

Could you leave the URL of a thread containing images please, and I'll try to see what's going on.

I think the 'menu_to_image' plugin is causing it to fail. Could you please try disabling that plugin then see if the images are secured, if they are I'll try to find a work-around.
