Hi,

first of all...this one is a great gallery !!
My question is, if it is possible to disable the downloading of pictures in the gallery. And i mean not only the "Download" icon, i mean also the "Save as" option when you right click a picture. Well in fact i tried the "norightclick" method, but didn't came far, because i got a blank page after clicking onto a picture in a category. So if this is the only possibility to prevent from downloading, could someone tell me where and which code exactly i have to put in to disable that? I mean it's not the "clean" version...but for the moment...

Another question is, how can i prevent hotlinking to the pictures? Let's assume my pics are in "/galleries/cat1/pic1.jpg. If you someone will hit the url : www.yourdomain.com/galleries/cat1/pic1.jpg he also will be able to see my pic and can use it. How can i prevent that?
I read some topics which says that you can use a .htaccess file. But where exactly do i put it in? In the main folder or the "galleries/cat1/ folder?

Thx for help in advance.

And for info...i got the 2.0.1. version. Is there maybe a Mod/Plugin for both my questions?

Regards,

Lucas

On right click scripts are a waste of time. It only serves to annoy genuine users. If they want an image then they can just go to their cache and get it. Its a waste of time, Imo. If it renders in the browser they can get it, period ;)

Now .htaccess wise you need to do this to stop other websites using the images. Place the .htaccess in the root of your domain. This will stop them using your images across your whole website.

RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !^http://(.+)?yourdomain.com [NC]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !^http://(.+)?www.yourdomain.com [NC]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/images/dontsteal.gif [NC]
RewriteRule [^/]+.(gif|jpg|GIF|JPG|ico)$ http://www.yourdomain.com/images/dontsteal.gif [R,NC,L]

Remember to replace yourdomain with your actual domain.

I didn't try this solution...
But it means coding <img src="...getpicture.php?id=xxx" or something thing like that
where getpicture.php should determine first the way it has been called.
Possible to do, anyway unuseful CPU consumption on server side for sure. I dislike this idea even if elegant solution it is.
