Disable right-click?

First of all, my sincerest apologies if this has been addressed elsewhere. I did look around for the answer. Does anyone know of a way to disable the customers right-click function in Zen Cart?

Cheers :smile:

What specific thing are you attempting to prevent?

My wife has been kind enough to let me use her stock photos, which she sells elsewhere on stock photography sites. I would like to prevent ppl easily downloading them by the right-click/save picture as... function.

Your best bet is to watermark. I use firefox and I can get all of your images without using right click.

I understand all of that. Would still like to do it though.

Cheers

Then follow the directions in the docs folder of your ZC installation for the javascript, so tht you stick the script in correctly and in the correct folder so it auto loads

Many thanks! Works a treat! BTW, you wouldn't poss know how I could put this on all of the pages as well:

Once again Thank You!

Cheers :smile:

By default, that is already built into Zen Cart ... :smile:

Thank you, thank you, thank you!

Cheers mate!

How? Using "Save As"

How? Using "Save As"
Hey this is not really the place to learn how to "Hack" a site or ask how...

Enuff said that it can be done

I think this is one case where telling people how easy it is (and it's nothing to do with which browser you use) will save people wasting time and money trying to prevent the impossible. But rather than start an argument, suffice to say that anyone with a keyboard can copy any image that's displayed on the screen.

There are 2 things you can do to reduce the risk - watermark (and for that to be any use, you must spoil the image you are using...it's totally pointless putting a watermark in the white space) and ensure that your images are always uploaded at 72dpi and never larger than 750px x 550px so that if anyone does try to print them, they'll look awful.

By the way, disabling right click completely will lose you far more clients than any advantage you gain.

Oh - and barco57...your wife's store ... best take a look at http://www.websiteoptimization.com/services/analyze/wso.php?url=http://www.stabandstash.com/index.php then consider the size of some of your images. Those showing in your bestsellers list have massive file sizes considering their displayed dimensions.

Thanks Ryk,
I am aware of the large filesizes on the stab and stash page. That site is getting ready for a major overhaul, its currently 1.3.0.2 My wife handles most of that site and she needs a bit of work in the optimization department.
