Chris... Installed the mambot.  I'm not sure I understand how to use it with RokZoom based on the syntax you posted for the mambot.  You mention...

Quote
To provide ALT-Tags, please use the syntax {rokzoom title=|your description|}image_url{/rokzoom}.

aren't these tags already used by RokZoom?  Did you mean {rokcloak title=|your description|}image_url{/rokcloak}. ?

Speaking of RokZoom....will this work with RokZoom thumbnails?

Thanks

Argh... I meant {rokcloak...} of course Wink And no, in it's current form, it's unfortunately not compatible with rokzoom (whereas it's a general issue, that you can't "stack" mambots/plugins).
RokCloak will only work with images, that are embedded "as-is", with no additional functions applied. I'll talk to Andy about that later - maybe we can "merge" the projects to make that a future Feature of RokZoom or something.

Ok cool.  I sent him a PM already telling him about your good work and contribution.  I also suggested it be added to templates going forward and including it in RokZoom would be a great value add.

That cloaking is cool! Smiley

I am, however, confused; if your goal is to prevent right-click saves, why not just insert a few lines of js in the template to prevent right-clicks? Smiley

His goal was not to prevent right clicks, instead to find a different way. I always think of simply disabling right clicks abit primitive, and easy to get round...

well i don't want to be rude, but getting around this protection is as easy as getting around the right click prevention imho.
as long as i get siteinformations listed in my browser i can browse all pictures that get loaded. same goes for Firebug and others... it just lets the guy search a min longer. Maybe he just gets a screenshot program and makes a life copy of the image only. Cheesy

Ah well i understand why thats a case for many people, but i just don't think that this will stop people from ripping content. Wink

No, but it will help stop the common users that just right click without using the js script. Most will think that security has been added and simply go on to the next site. But yes, some will figure it out. Using the web dev tools on firefox will show all images and paths.

No matter what you do, there will be a way to get the images, as far as I know. Undecided

Watermarking may be a solution (kind of).

Yes anyone could still do a screenshot and then post it into photoshop and crop the picture they want. Unfortunately there is no way to protect against this unless you use a watermark..  but if a user knows how to do a screenshot and crop in photoshop they can probably remove the watermark too with the heal tool.
