DISABLE RIGHT CLICKING AND IMAGE DRAGGING FOR YOUR WEEBLIES! by ali

EDIT: WOW PLEASE CALM DOWN IM NOT SAYING THIS IS THE BEST METHOD EVER NOR AM I TRYING TO FORCE PEOPLE. IF YOU WANT TO DO IT, GREAT. IF YOU DONT WANT TO DO IT, THATS GREAT TOO. SORRY FOR TRYING TO GIVE PEOPLE SOME SORT OF RESOURCE I GUESS

SO my broseph astronym is hella rad and found out how to disable right clicking for your weeblies.

people like to right click and save and steal ocs for some reason, but this is how to take steps to prevent that if you don't want to watermark your images like mad.

-click the design tab and go into your html/css

-click on the right side under 'page layouts', no-header.html

-put this code under the

tag, remove spaces in the < >'s

< script type="text/javascript" >
function catch_click(e)
{
if (!e) var e = window.event;

var right_click = (e.which ? (e.which == 3) : (e.button == 2));

if (right_click)
{
alert('Right clicking on this page is not allowed.');
return false;
}
}

document.onmousedown = catch_click;
if (document.captureEvents) document.captureEvents(Event.MOUSEDOWN);
< /script >

save, publish and TA-DA. now no one can right click your images. you can't copy text either, so you'll have to do ctrl-c for text.

here's how you disable dragging images. this is another way people can steal your pictures, by simply dragging the image into a new tab for the fullsize.

-click the design tab and go into your html/css

-at the very top of the code, just put this in:

html, body, div, span, object,
form, input, h1, h2, button, label, a, img {
-moz-user-select: none;
-webkit-user-select: none;
/* this will work for QtWebKit in future */
-webkit-user-drag: none;
}

i recommend making journals/showing/telling people about this so we can prevent theft! ONLY IF YOU WANT TO I GUESS I HAVE TO STATE THAT

ENJOY.

    EVERYONE SHOULD DO THIS MAKE IT MANDATORY PROTECT YO SELVES
    thanks for advertising this /

    • Link

      AGREED! np<3

  • Link

    I can't believe how rampant character left has become recently, how on earth does one justify it?

    Oh wait: http://nedroidcomics.tumblr.com/post/41879001445/the-internet

    • Link

      SADLY ACCURATE.

    • Link

      *theft

      • Link

        to also prevent further theft i added how to prevent people from dragging your images into a new tab to get the fullsize uvu

  • Link

    ...this is going to sound so stupid, but how do you get to the design tab?
    I think it's a terrible shame that people are already stealing characters here, I'm relatively new so it's always a bummer for me to see that on a new site. :C

    • Link

      well when you first open your weebly page, there's tabs... at the top.... build, design, pages, store, setting, etc.

      i also added a way to prevent people from dragging images into new tabs.

  • Link

    WOAHH WHAT IS THIS MAGIC
    Thank you so much to you and Astronym for this! This is super helpful O8

  • Link

    i'll see if i add this, i have all the art of my characters marked with my weebly link and the artist' name :v

    • Link

      i rly don't feel like going through 800+ images to watermark.

      • Link

        me neither but i still do it haha

        • Link

          i also don't feel comfortable watermarking any art i didn't make so

          • Link

            i just do it because there are people who have script blockers so this is also able to get past. and because im crazy and have nothing to do.

            • Link

              well true, i know script blockers exist but watermarks can have ways to get around those too? they're just prevent methods that people can take

  • Link

    Hate to be the bearer of bad news, but if it's online, you can't stop people from saving it. There are a number of ways to get around script like that, easiest being temporarily disabling Javascript from your browser.

    Personally I want people to save my work. That means I did a good job at it. If I see them posted elsewhere, all the better! And I'll laugh in their face if I see someone claiming them their own, because no matter what they claim, they cannot steal my ability to create and the joy I get from it.

    • Link

      i'm well aware of there being work arounds, but maybe by deterring bored people they'll give up eventually. it really depends on how much a person is determined to try and steal a character. just because there are other ways doesn't mean i shouldn't have precautions such as these.

      and, no, i don't want people to save images of my characters or anything.. i don't want people /STEALING/ my characters, my art, and art i worked hard to pay in order to get.

    • Link

      I like the way you think! I've seen a few art thieves, and you can -tell- they didn't make it. Best thing to do is just leave your signature on it. They're usually too lazy to remove it. x3

  • Link

    thank you for this! ; v;

  • Link

    well. i am faving this journal but.. i am crap for coding D: so i have no idea... might force this on my best friend bwhahahha she went to school for coding :D

    • Link

      do you mind asking your friend if she knows anything about javascript and disabling keyboard shortcuts for a site? uvu i'd love if you could note me if you do!

      • Link

        apparently they forgot how to do it.. so now i have to wait for that one friend who is sorta online ;.; who also went to school for computers.

  • Link

    This is a thing you can do?? o.o

    • Link

      yup, it's not a prevention method, bUT it will likely deter people bored and who don't know said workarounds

  • Link

    Ummm.... Print screen button. even if the image is too large for the screen... Ctrl and mouse scroll will resize your browser page and shazam the image will fit. I'm not sure if there is a way to stop people from doing print screen since it's built into the keyboard....

    I think it would be best to just watermark things you're worried might get nabbed. :x ( thought I'd share in case it wasn't thought of... )

    • Link

      Or if there is a way to stop this from happening too. :x

    • Link

      weebly will automatically have them resized depending on what your image setup is, and you'd be dumb to put the actual fullsizes on a weebly anyways...?

      my point is, it's going to be a lower quality even if print screened, especially if you try to size it up, it's going to have SOME kind of quality loss that won't be the same as your actual original. then it'll be clearly stolen from that point. anything else, people are trying too hard and are rly desperate and pathetic.

      /I AM AWARE THERE ARE WAYS PEOPLE CAN GET AROUND YES I GET IT THAT DOESN'T MEAN I SHOUDLN'T AT LEAST HAVE THIS STUFF TO DETER LAZY BORED PEOPLE is my overall poINT/

      • Link

        Didn't think about the quality difference... I haven't used weebly much so didn't know it does something like that. And it's good to deter people even if it's simple. My luff has a similar thought that "If someone really wants something they'll figure a way around it. Like locking your doors... all it does is keep an honest man honest."

  • Link

    AAA thank you this saves me from watermarking the hell out of art :U !!!!

    • Link

      i like how people think watermarking can prevent people from stealing your stuff too when it's the same as coding, just a more direct, and more work, deterrent for theives

      • Link

        and I've had once of my design's stolen even after I watermarked it orz and I've seen people freaking take the time to take off a Watermark

        • Link

          basically, if people want it bad enough, they'll get past your roadblocks but at least you put them up for those that are too lazy

  • Link

    Super useful omg /tears of joy

  • Link

    THANK YOU for reposting this! Now I can just +fav the journal and not lose it haha (totes forgot who made the journal on FA already orz).

    Yeah ok scripts can be circumvented and watermarks easily edited away yadda yadda BUT this will deter some kid looking for a quick buck and they'll move on to find something easier to jack.

    • Link

      YEP BASICALLY it'll only deter lazies/dumb kids

      • Link

        Exactly. Sometimes a simple thing like not being able to right-click is enough to make them go away.

        //also, does the anti-drag code go in the main css or the same no-header html?

        • Link

          it goes in the normal css/html~ you can just stick it right at the top

  • Link

    BLESS YOUR FACE.
    Got the no-right-click from astronym, but this is just double the protection. I may not have many high end, super sought after designs, but that doesn't mean I want my precious OCs to be stolen x3

  • Link

    I'm the type of person who likes it when people save my art for personal inspiration/use/looking at purposes, especially pixel art - lets you zoom in on all the nitty gritties and see how someone did something so you can get a good reference for how to do it yourself. Hell, I've done this before, obviously not for thieving purposes but because I like a piece of art a lot and want to show it to friends (with credit/source) or look at it for inspiration. If someone steals my stuff, well, it's the internet, just a fact of life for me, especially as a pixel artist, since I can't watermark that stuff and a ton of people think "fake pokemon = free use."

    Of course, I know not everyone agrees, so this is a good resource. But I dislike the "everyone should do this" attitude.

    • Link

      im not saying everyone should, pls dont put words in my mouth u0u its only if people eant to obvs.

      • Link

        Ah, sorry, I just woke up and I misread something someone else said as being your words. I apologize.

        • Link

          its ok! its simply a resource if people want to utilize it, though i do think people should spread it around since theres a lot of people that might not realize you can do it! but thats it really..
