Hey Justin,

Long time man, hope everything is good. I have a few questions to ask.

1. Is there a way to stop right clicking and downloading of files on the board?

2. Is there way to have the board add the site name or logo (Phat-Beats) to pics that are uploaded to the board?

3. I would like to be able to post vidoes on the board and have it display in the post like a pic. I am taking videos of track and street racing and would like to show it on the board. Is there a way this can be done?

The board is great

Ummm ... mods need to be made.

Justin,

Is this something you think you can do?

Well ... the first question, I have no idea what you mean.  :-/  #2 has to be written with a perl module, as far as I know.

#3, it's just some HTML code, but I don't use it, so I don't know it.  ;)

I guess what BigC meant is to stop visitors from casually right-click and download the files. But I can't find a good reason to stop people from downloading. Files posted at BBS are meant to be sahred around anyway.

Daniel,
That's just what I want. The reason is that I am going to start a music&car (Hip Hop) site. I will be posting pics, video's and music files of DJ's and clubs, and do not want anyone to steal the pics from the board.

Justin,

Is there anyone I can pay to have this done. I would really like to get this ASAP.

Really, there is no way to get people from stealing the images uploaded to your forum.  They would always be able to cut the watermark out, or something.

I donno anything about images in perl, however.  :(

Disable right clicking using javascript might work:

You can choose to disable right-click totally or on images only:

In addition, you may want to disable IE6's Image Toolbar:

You need to place the scripts into your template file.

Unfortunately, there is a work around for these methods but I guess this would be sufficient. If you like, I can make a MOD for this.

I am writing an article about this to totally disable the "download whole website" function. Will post a link when it is ready.

What I can think of alternative solution for problem #2 is to code E-Blah to overlay a transparent GIF file over the displayed attach image.

Visitors will only download the transparent gif when they right-click.

But this requires MODing and also needs CSS to achieve the overlaying and positioning...  :P

Daniel,

Thanks a ton. I'll try the links, that will stop right clicking and that's great. Is there a way I can maybe remove the download button in eblah to stop downloading? Or just stop downloading all together?

It would be wonderful if you could make a mod for this.

That you'll have to hack the source. I am not sure which code to safely remove so that the function of eblah. This can be made into a MOD too but it is beyond my knowledge at the moment is it involve source code. :)

I'll post the MOD once Blah Hackz is up.

Thanks Dan. Does anyone know when blah hackz will be up.

It is not ready for public viewing yet. Have to wait a while longer. :(
