FlashImg

For those who have propreity images on their website and want to safegaurd(atleast to some extent) from surfers who just right-click and save or go through the source, find the src and save it, I have a partial solution!

click here for an example!

The solution is to load the image inside a flash object. But then its impossible to make one flash each for every image. So, I made a Flash which can

  • dynamically load Images
  • show the percentage downloaded with a bar
  • dynamically copyright messages or add captions
Here is how to go about it. Download the FlashImg scripts from here.
  1. Unzip the archive. You should find
    • flashimg.php - the php class file
    • images.php - images definition file
    • flashimg.swf - the flash file for loading the images
    • index.php - example file
  2. Edit the images.php file. Will look like this
    include("flashimg.php");
    $img = new ih2hFlashImg;
    //instantiate the class
    $img ->copyRight("© sandosh");
    //Assign default copyright message
    $img->addImg("sandosh","sandosh_alak.jpg",420,315);
    //parameters in order -> name, src, width, height, alt(to override copyright msg)
  3. Include this file in your pages and use
    $img->displayImg("sandosh");
    to display the flashimg, where parameter is the image name.
  4. All done!

Feel free to use this code and also if possible do drop in a line on which site you are using it.

Enjoy! :)

Hello world!

Welcome to my Blog.

This is my first post ever!

3 hrs back I was researching for the best blog software on the net, then a linux, open source geek, Manu, my friend IMed me 2 links which were really helpful to decide on what to go with.
http://www.asymptomatic.net/blogbreakdown.htm
http://www.rakaz.nl/nucleus/item/24/catid/6

Although I didn’t read the article completely, I had narrowed in on MoableType and Wordpress. I again asked Manu for suggestions and as expected he wanted me to choose Wordpress since its licensing was GPL!

So, I finally decided on Wordpress then went on hunting for the right theme. I googled and browsed through most of the themes avaiable here. After almost an hour I chose the theme quintine, which you are currently viewing.

And now, Here I am with no energy left for the day writing my first blog entry…..

ciao ppl :)
