Image and Text Copying

[Bruce1952]

Hi All,

Can anyone tell me if a module is available in order for people to not be able to copy images and text from our zencart site.

Any help would be appreciated.

Simple answer is no. Once it's online and public it's up for grabs, that's true for all content in this sense (images, text, music, video etc.)

There are javascript examples to disable right clicking, but I can disable javascript in the browser. You can add blank layers over images. But I can view the page source. You can make it slightly harder for someone to take your content, but it's easy to circumvent.

You could add a watermark to your images. Not sure if the image plugins offer this, if they do not image programs like Photoshop can do bulk tasks.

If they are simply embedding images that point to your site, search google for 'prevent hotlinking'.

If hot linking is the issue, you should be able to prevent that from your webmaster panel. Hot linking basically means you have an image on your site and I'm using it on my site from your server. I don't actually have a copy of it. I'm using your bandwidth to display it.

As macc2 pointed out, preventing right click doesn't really work. There are too many ways to get content if you're savvy enough.
