Terry Paulhus Ecommerce Template Expert Canada 597 Posts	Posted - 07/12/2024 : 12:39:40 I’m looking to add a watermark to all of my images. I can do that through desktop software but I’d rather do it through php. Does anyone have any solutions for this? I heard through .htaccess it can be done as well. Looking for some help and insights.

It's really easy to implement. This may or may not be what you want but I thought I'd just throw it out there. Place the following at the top of your <body> tag on each page you want to protect: <body oncontextmenu="return false;" > Basically you will insert oncontextmenu="return false;" inside the Body tag as shown above. Once implemented the right click feature doesn't work. Someone with savvy computer skills can override that but 99% of people won't know how to do it. Just my opinion. Maybe it will help, maybe not.

Terry Paulhus Ecommerce Template Expert Canada 597 Posts	Posted - 08/07/2024 : 20:57:37 Thanks Patrick... I do use a javascript addon called "content protector". So that part is taken care of. I just thought protecting the PRODIMAGES folder would be the be-all and end-all Terry (Redsei)

Hello, in your includes, you can turn things on and off, and alter settings, so here is what I have - note the part in red there. magictooloptions="data-options=""expandSpeed:750;expandEffect:fade;captionSource:alt;buttons:top-right;rightClick:false;""" NOTE - This is .asp so it will be a little different for .php Thanks, David Edited by - dbdave on 02/05/2026 14:57:18
