Silent No Right Click Module Module

Note: In line with the recent Joomla directive to allow only version 1.5 modules, the version 1.0 module been cancelled.
Sorry for any inconveniences caused. Owners of version 1.0 Joomla sites MUST upgrade to version 1.5 sites. It's better and faster.


Want to prevent the browser right-click context menu from appearing on your site?

Fed up of always going over to some Javascript Website and copy-pasting it into each and every template?

Risk breaking your beloved Joomla! installation by doing this?

Well, not anymore. The Silent No Right Click III script from DynamicDrive has been encapsulated into a very simple module.

Installing it is super easy: -

Just hide the title using the Module Manager and position it in the topmost module position (usually "top" or "banner").

Oh yeah, and it is cross browser too, as noted by even more reviewers.

Future enhancements include the ability to select different combinations of no right click scripts.

Do note that this only stops very novice Web surfers. There are other ways to right click as remarked by the reviewers.

Tried FF, IE, Google, Safari, & Flock.. Works great... Just doesn't work on Opera Browsers.

Thanks for the comment.

Yes. I am still finding out a way to make it work for Opera browsers.

Not many things work as perfectly as this. Install, activate the module and click no and ta da! it works! I LOVE it.

Can it come much simpler: Download, install, enable = works. It took me 46 seconds flat to get it working. I like simple things!

It might not fool the hardcore hacker, but it surely stops most people from copying content from our pages.

There are certain things that I wish to protect from viewing source and this plugin really helps. Yes, people can just go to view-->page source, press Ctrl+U, or run the no-script plugin as mylonojr stated, but I wish to prevent people from stealing some pictures I have in a simple slideshow, where users can just right click and get the link. The thing is that I have hundreds of pictures in the slideshow IN RANDOM MODE, each picture only lasting 1.5 seconds. It is a great way to "minimize" (not necessarily stop) taking some of the photos.

:) Yet another practical application. It also prevents basic right clicking on images.

Installed in seconds and does exactly what it says. I use FireFox 3.0.4 with NoScript and it seems to work fine, although it doesnt stop the right click on the expose'4 gallery. It still allows the settings and about adobe.... to come up.

Still, cant see any reason not to use it. Nice.
Owner's reply

That's because Expose is a Flash-based gallery system, and unfortunately, this module does not prevent right clicking inside an embedded Flash "widget".

Flash stuff (SWF files) run within a "sandbox" environment within a Web page like a "window".

I've tested it on our setup below using Firefox 3 and IE 7 and it does exactly what it says it should. Installed in the top module position, all pages and content are now protected from "right click" copying. It was simplicity itself to install, I can see the benefits and I cannot see any disadvantages to using it.

Pretty good actually, works in Firefox 3, IE 6 (i didn't test it with IE7) and it's okay even with the new Google Chrome. There were some problems when i tried to install it though, it was complaining about an "existing" index.html inside /modules ... which should be there of course. What i did, simply rename the index.html to index.old for example and that's all.
Keep up the good work. Peace

Thanks for testing it!

Didn't take much effort to get it to function properly and display how i wanted it to. A native 1.5 would be nice, but ill settle for now.

This will also prevent right click when viewing large photos in expose.

Only downside is with my template it had to add a small line to my menu area based on its position. I positioned it low so it didn't look to out of place.
Owner's reply

Yes.

It's supposed to be positioned in a way that certain templates do not push out a small line. Experienced that with some other modules here before.

Thank you for your support. :)

A 1.5 Native one is currently in production.

This is really interesting but the thing is that in Firefox with NoScript plug-in installed, right-clicking IS possible.
byCubPilot on August 17, 2008
I just installed this and it was easy to install and works as advertised.

Maybe a Native 1.5 version could be made for those that don't want to have Legacy mode turned on.
Owner's reply

Thank you for the support!

It's the inaugural Joomla module after being inspired by a recent Joomla Day.

A 1.5 Native version is in the works.
