[Plugin: jQuery Lightbox] Doesn’t Support Copy Protection

  • I am using a plug-in (wp-smugmug) that pulls my photos in a gallery from Smugmug.com via RSS. It utilizes jquery-lightbox.

    My problem is that lightbox provides a link directly to the photo file which is not protected. It would be great if lightbox had a built in copy protection so photos cannot be copied.

    Perhaps the RSS feed from Smugmug is the culprit and exposes the direct link instead of a copyprotected link.

    I checked the RSS feed and it seems to only have a link to the copyprotected version. So the problem must lie with the wp-smugmug plugin or lightbox.

    To do this. Open jquery-lightbox.php.

    Edit the line:

    wp_enqueue_script('jquery-lightbox', $path.'jquery.lightbox.min.js', array('jquery'), '1.4.3');

    to

    wp_enqueue_script('jquery-lightbox', $path.'jquery.lightbox.min.js?download_link=false', array('jquery'), '1.4.3');

    nice plugin… except:

    1. almost a quarter of the code is multiple copies of 
      * @author Benjamin "balupton" Lupton {@link https://www.balupton.com}
* @copyright (c) 2009-2010 Benjamin Arthur Lupton {@link https://www.balupton.com}
    2. clicking on the title opens up the image in a POP UP! yes, that is right, a Pop up window… hello 1994.
    3. most amazingly… every overlay features the name and link back to balupton. How is this not backlink farming?

    Again, nice plugin, except for the high SPAM / Blackhat SEO Scumbag factor.
