Full Version: Disable right-click
Is there a way to disable this? I have seen it done on things like blogs, but is it possible with IPB 2.0.4?

There's tons of scripts which can be used to disable right click.
To do it on your board, try putting one of them in your board footer/wrapper.
Here's one:
Not sure if it works in all browsers though, hard to find ones that do.

However, they are quite possibly, within the top 10 most irritating and top 10 most useless javascripts ever to be created. 
It's very true, because they don't do anything. You can't stop people from viewing the source, copying, or taking images. CTRL+C to copy, Edit > View Source for the source and images.
As Dan said, they are completely useless. So really 'householdsix' there's no point in using them.

Firefox has Page Info under Tools which you can view all the stuff.
It is useless and annoying. Good luck annoying your guests with it. I strongly suggest you do not use it.
Its really impossible to do .. all a user has to do is turn off javascript and your protect code is useless..
I agree, too many workarounds and the script is simply annoying as can be.
Yeah, you'll scare people off if all of a sudden your site is taking control of their computer. That's what it will feel like to the end user. "Whaddaya mean I can't right click? well F you, I'm going elsewhere". Been there done that. Now I use Firefox, and in the Javascript options, you can stop Java from disabling or altering the context menu. There are a few scripts which trip it up, but the Firefox extension "Allow right click" sorts it for good. That Firefox outright blocks the no-right-click scripts and there's an extension to perfect the blockage, should be a testament to how the general Internet community feels about those scripts. They're a rung above spyware on the Internet food chain. IMHO.
A no right-click code is like a locked door in the middle of an open field.
A good tip i came across once though never used was to add some comments at the top of the source code such as
//Your IP Address has been logged, Please do not steal my code//
Or words to that effect then followed up by about 50 line breaks so that when somebody clicks to view source all they initially get is what you put in your comments at the start of the page and a blank screen, Quite clever i thought.
Obviously if somebody notices that they can just scroll down the page then so be it like it has already been said you will not stop people from stealing code. But this may just foil a few lamers.

Two rules to live by...
1. If you wear a low cut top and a push-up bra people will stare at your boobs.
2. If you put images on the net, people will lift them.
It is human nature... get over it and quite complaining (in both circumstances,)

Its one wasted feature useful to bug the end users. If you are quite sore of the fact that people are visit your site, go ahead and disable rt click
