    Preventing embedded files from being downloaded

    Hi

    My client would like to prevent her embedded powerpoint files and other files from being downloaded from her web site for copyright reasons.

    As a make do, I instructed her to do the following to prevent them right clicking on the hyperlink and downloading the file. Is there an easier way to do this in Atutor?

    a. First do all the "stuff" you need to do using the visual editor when adding content.
    b. Then switch back to the text editor.
    c. Makesure the HTML button is still selected.
    d. copy and paste this code at the very top of document.

    <script language=JavaScript>
    <!--

    //Disable right mouse click Script
    //By Maximus (maximus@nsimail.com) w/ mods by DynamicDrive
    //For full source code, visit http://www.dynamicdrive.com

    var message="Function Disabled!";

    ///////////////////////////////////
    function clickIE4(){
    if (event.button==2){
    alert(message);
    return false;
    }
    }

    function clickNS4(e){
    if (document.layers||document.getElementById&&!document.all){
    if (e.which==2||e.which==3){
    alert(message);
    return false;
    }
    }
    }

    if (document.layers){
    document.captureEvents(Event.MOUSEDOWN);
    document.onmousedown=clickNS4;
    }
    else if (document.all&&!document.getElementById){
    document.onmousedown=clickIE4;
    }

    document.oncontextmenu=new Function("alert(message);return false")

    // -->
    </script>
    e. save and close the document.


    Thanks

    No easy way

    Is there an easier way to do this in Atutor? [/green]

    No. There is currently no easier way in ATutor.

    How is this content intended to be used?

    IP protection is very new to online learning maangement systems. None of the systems I'm aware of have implemented it yet. We are currently investigating strategies, though it will likely be some time before they become available. It may, in the short term, become available through LCMS or repository web services. You might expect to something in ATutor in that area in the next 6 month to a year.

    Of course that would mean your client would need to subscribe to the web service, which I would assume would require include fee.

    Can't tell you much more than that right now.
