Disable right click on jpgs

Has anybody ever tried disabling right click on jpgs, presenting a message that this image is copyrighted?  I know this can be gotten around, but at least it would slow those who would rip you off.  I have found javascript online that does so, and I suppose it can be incorporated into the php file, but have not seen anybody actually do it.  Except 500px, who does do it.

Thanks Matthew and Charlie.  I'll give it a go.  (I've been a little preoccupied).

Yes, I get that.  Maybe I will just be content with watermarks and metadata.  Never really thought of it as purposefully breaking the browser, but I see it.

Re: Disable right click on jpgs

I appreciate the reasoning against it but I would also like to disable the context menu. I have followed the instructions in the link above and added the code to a copy of the phplugins-sample.php file which I have renamed to my-phplugins.php and in the Backlight page template I have enable PHPlugins and included my-phplugins.php however, it doesn't appear to work. Is there something else that I need to enable?

My site is http://freshphoto.co.uk

Re: Disable right click on jpgs

I don't see the script appearing in the source code of your page.

the code referenced in that article uses a phplugins hook from the CEx days (ttg_body_bottom_) That hook does not exist in Backlight. Use ttg_scripts instead.

Re: Disable right click on jpgs

instead of the ttg_body_bottom hook used in the code from the tutorial, use ttg_scripts instead

Instead of this:

function ttg_body_bottom( $style, $path ) {

Use this:

function ttg_scripts( $style, $path ) {

all the available hooks are listed in any of the phplugins files inside the backlight/custom/phplugins/ folder
