Hello,

I'm surprised not to find a previous thread for this.
Poaching of my proofs has become rampant. Before I implement a "pay to view" system, I thought I would give this a try, but can't figure out how to do it.

My question is: Is there a way to require viewers to accept a "terms and conditions" page before viewing the albums? I can't wrap my head around how that would be done.

Thanks.

hey, thanks suprsidr!
sorry for the late reply.

sounds like you've got a grip on this. so, my next question is.... how much?
in other words, can I hire your service to implement this since my java code skills are somewhat lacking?

this sounds very promising!

BTW, in my sample, I set the cookie to expire in 30 days, you can set it however long you wish.
$.cookie('t_and_c', 'accepted', { expires: 30, path: '/', domain: 'flashyourweb.com', secure: false });
And in the future if you decide to update your T&C just rename the cookie and everyone will get prompted again.
2 instances:
($.cookie('t_and_c')

Sure, I'll need gallery admin access and ftp access.

I can give you my terms for now, and you can edit at your leisure.

You can remap jQuery to the dollar($) and make it a private variable by wrapping it like:

            (function($){
                $(document).ready(function(){
                    if($.cookie('t_and_c') == 'accepted'){
                        $('#gallery').show();
                        $('#terms-container').empty().hide();
                    }else{
                        $('#terms-container').empty().load('http://www.yourdomain.com/terms.php #terms', function(){
                            if($('#terms-container').html()){
                                $('#terms-container').show().append('<input type="button" value="Accept" name="Accept" />&nbsp;<input type="button" value="Cancel" name="Cancel" />');
                            }else{
                                $('#terms-container').html('<h2>Error fetching terms.</h2>');
                            }
                        });
                    }
                });
                $('input[name="Accept"]').live('click', function(e){
                    e.preventDefault();
                    $.cookie('t_and_c', 'accepted', { expires: 30, path: '/', domain: 'yourdomain.com', secure: false });
                    $('#gallery').show();
                    $('#terms-container').empty().hide();
                });
                $('input[name="Cancel"]').live('click', function(e){
                    e.preventDefault();
                    window.location = 'http://disney.com';
                });
            })(this.jQuery);

and it won't interfere w/ other scripts.

javascript can detect keyup/keydown events, although accessing the clipboard can be problematic.
I have never tried.

Hey, thanks Suprsidr!
I went to your link there and to be honest, I'm not sure what the difference is. I'm on a mac and using the "grab" app I was able to do a screen cap of any of the images.
Could you explain in layman's terms what the benefit of replacing the img/ elements with canvas/ elements is?
I already have the Flash mod installed in my gallery so that no one can "save as". It's the screen cap that killing me, but there may not be any way around that....

I'm also just showing options.
You can use any image for watermarking.
The beauty of my solution is that the watermarking is done client side so no strain on the server.

My solution would need further tweaking in the theme to present Data URIs instead of image urls, but that's trivial.
Notice I've also disabled the context menu for the canvas/images
