Disable Right Click (v4.0 Released!)

[Arantor]

Heh. Wait until you do it with streaming images and a Flash client (where right click actually doesn't work), then they suddenly realise that it can be done quite easily...

[Tatek]

The options are in Admin > Configuration > Miscellaneous.

Thanx, Finnaly found!...

Hi the thing is that I install this mod (no errors and emulating 2.0.2) but once installed it does not come out in the administration to set in Miscellaneous. I tried installing it manually with the parse and still have the same problem.


Not the first time it happens this to install a mod.

I would appreciate if someone would lend a hand.

Does this work on 2.0.7?

[Arantor]

Considering how easy it is to bypass such a measure, does it matter whether it works or not?

[Kimmie]

Well yes it does matter, that is why I asked. What a pissy response. I don't go around viewing source pages so I don't know how easy this would be to bypass..lol. All I want is something that keeps the source code from being viewed.

[Arantor]

Preventing the source from being viewed? IMPOSSIBLE.

[Kimmie]

And you expect EVERYONE to know that?  My understanding is, if they can't right click on the page, they can't get to that menu. All you had to do was explain that there are other ways around that.

From now on, please do not respond to me unless you can be nice. Remember, we can't all be as smart as you.

According to the mod's description, it will work on 2.0.x. But it certainly won't do what you might think. In fact, it actually disrupts more than right-click>Copy. There's a lot of fun in the right-click in most browsers. And View Source isn't only available in the right-click option. And tools like Firebug make it pretty to inspect elements on the page. Are you trying to not have people copy your content?

[Antechinus]

Kimmie, TBH tricks like this mod only stop non-technical people. Anyone with a bit of (fairly common) knowledge can get around them in no time. What's more, they'll probably be so annoyed at losing some of their most commonly used functionality that they'll make a point of getting around it, just to show they can (I speak from experience here ).

[Arantor]

The thing is, there are so many ways around the right click that you cannot prevent it. I was trying to point out, with emphasis, just how impossible it is to actually do what you're asking. If the source gets to the browser, it must be able to be accessed and there's nothing you can do to stop that.

Most browsers expose View Source via their Tools menu. Or Ctrl-U. Or F12 for the developer panel.

Do I expect everyone to know that? No. But here's the thing. People who don't care, don't worry about it and therefore neither need to use the workarounds nor try to right click. And the people who do care long ago figured out how to get around it anyway.

Being as smart as me? Haha. Sorry, I'm not smart. I'm just very, very knowledgeable which is something quite different. However... I would hope that someone smart enough to ask questions would also be smart enough to listen to someone who understands this stuff and doesn't need to belittle their time investment. But I've wasted enough time trying to help people here, I'm largely immune to it.

Disabling Right click is a thing of the past.  It's about as dusty as a Vinyl Record.  Just my 2 cents...

Was getting html_header errors and couldn't figure it out: https://www.simplemachines.org/community/index.php?topic=577533.msg4087421#msg4087421

But it seems to be in this mods code in Subs.php (highlighted in red below)

// Disable Right Click BY: Chas Large
