restrict download of photographs from my website?

Ross Holland

I want to restrict download of photos from my website. I would also like to
show the full size version clicked from a thumbnail, but in a page that is
part of my web, and therefore has the header, etc that all the other pages
do. Anyone help me on this?

http://continue.to/hope explains all of your options.

Use FP 2003 (I am assuming you are using that version) with the OpenBrowser
Window behavior.

You can't keep people from snagging your images.

Put your fullsize image on a page that matches your web, then from the
thumbnail page just link to the fullsize image page that matches the rest of
your site.

Thanks Rob. Should have explained that I have about 4500 photos on the site,
and I don't want to have to create a page for each one. I was hoping for a
single display page that I could use that would accept the photo as a
parameter and display it. Cheers, Ross.

Dear Murray, thanks for the link, very good - I shall certainly take some of
the tips from it. I am looking also to create single page which accepts photo
as a parameter and displays it - any ideas on that at all? Can you point me
in the right direction to investigate the "OpenBrowser Window" behaviour?
Cheers, Ross.

It could be done with some server side scripting, depending upon what is
available with your hosting account.

Definitely - with 4500 images, that's certainly how I would do it. The
beauty of using data driven pages is that a very complex LOOKING site can be
created with just a few pages. My furniture site only has about 10 pages,
although it can be used to examine hundreds of different pieces of
furniture.

It could also be done with strictly client-side scripting, BTW, if all you
want to do is to display pictures.

Hi Murray,

Yeah, sure. You would just have a page that you pass a URL with a Query
String to. The QueryString would contain the URL of the image to fetch.
JavaScript would fetch the image and display it.

still would not keep people from snagging the image...swf's are still
downloaded to the viewers machine and can be found in the cache.


| do your photos in flash (.swf) instead of jpeg

In addition, I might mention - Pixels is Pixels. What you see is what you
*got*.

exactamundo.
unless you figure a way to make the pixels only visable with Flash Gordon's
secret 3D decoder glasses - and send them to all your viewers..maybe that
would work?
