Hi Max,

Perhaps I worded my original question poorly. The site I need help with is running Duena, not Duena Revival. I was asking if there was a way to make the mobile navigation menu reappear on a site using the Duena theme.

Thank you.

I agree with your comments. If someone is determined enough to get a photo, image, etc., there are ways to do it.

I also agree this is a bigger question of how the website should function in a way that accomplishes business goals AND gives visitors a positive, memorable experience. The site was designed years ago by computer science students as part of a non-profit/volunteer match program. At the time, I don’t believe questions of business function and user experience were discussed. As I mentioned in a previous comment, fingers are crossed for the budget to do a redesign in the future.

Thanks for taking a look at the site. I understand your comments completely. In this case, privacy and security is about protecting the assets of the museum and also that of visitors.

The organization just got a CRM subscription specific to non-profits, so all the online forms will be run through the CRM once it’s set up. The goal is a full site redesign when budget allows. Again, I appreciate the help and will bring up the different ideas presented in the thread to the organization.

@corrinarusso

I hear you with all the ideas. I could have fun brainstorming this.

Having anything online for sale, outside of tickets to an in-person event is new to the museum, so it’s brought up these questions of privacy and security. This conversation may spark ideas for new digital content. It’s just the one video for now, but the possibilities are endless.

Re: imagery stealing, I agree. Determined people will find a way. Unfortunately, we can’t always protect for every “what if” scenario.

Re: common visitors – The video is only ~15 minutes, so unless someone gets interrupted, they’ll likely pay, view the video right then and close the window.

@corrinarusso

Also, in researching this, I found a video hosting company that lets you rent your videos to visitors for a specified amount of time. One hour is the shortest time.

Just saw your longer post re: a subscription model and will check out the links you provided. Thank you. And you’re right. We’re attacking a very specific problem. I’ll see if the founder is open to a larger plan like the one you’re suggesting.

@corrinarusso

The video is a virtual-only admission.

Here’s the link: Tour Registration Form. The submit button directs visitors to PayPal. Once they pay, they are sent to a thank you screen with the embedded Vimeo video. The URL in the address bar doesn’t change, so if they reload the page or hit the back button, they are taken back to the registration form.

The video isn’t set to continuously play, so in theory, if someone was determined to steal imagery, they could pause, rewind and fast forward before the video ended. Removing the playback controls bar and turning autoplay on may solve that, but there’s still the matter of the replay button at the end. ??

@wibergsweb @corrinarusso

The website is for a small museum that’s offering a virtual tour/short documentary video. The founder is worried that some people will replay the tour video to capture copyrighted images or video clips. There was some issue with this and past images years ago, so she’s extra cautious. Her ideal is that it works like an in-person tour. You buy your ticket, “walk through” once and then done.

Thank you both for the suggestions on how this might work. Conceptually, it makes sense that when Vimeo notices the video has ended, the viewer gets sent back to the registration form. Again, I get the concept. Just not sure the exact code to use and where to put it. ??

For authentication, we’re using Ninja Forms and their PayPal add-on. If payment is completed, a thank you message with the video is loaded. If payment is canceled or rejected for insufficient payment, the visitor is taken back to the form. The URL in the address bar doesn’t change whether the payment is successful or unsuccessful.

Vimeo does have options on what to do when a video ends, but each of them results in either a replay button appearing or the video going back to the beginning with the option to play again. It seems like there would have to be something done with the player itself to play once and stop. I’ll look at the Vimeo documentation you shared again. I’ll also check out BrightCove. Thank you!
