Features

What can Right Click Disable do for you?

Ten feature areas, one install package for Joomla 4, 5 and 6.

  • Works Independently

    Plugin or Module: Your Choice

    • Whole site pluginTurn on System - Right Click Disable once and protect most of the site. Skip selected user groups, components, or URL paths when needed.
    • Selected pages modulePublish the module only on the pages you choose. Use Joomla Access levels to protect guests while editors stay free. Each extension works alone. Do not run both on the same page.

  • Popup · Toast · Alert · Silent

    Four Easy Alert Styles

    • Pick how visitors are toldShow a styled popup, a small toast notice, a normal browser alert, or stay silent while still blocking the action.
    • Toast made simpleChoose corner position, how many seconds it stays, background colour, text colour, accent colour, and width.

  • Right-Click · Selection · Drag

    Stop Casual Copying

    • Protect what mattersBlock right-click on the whole page, images only, or links only. Optionally stop text selection and image dragging.
    • New content stays coveredImages and links added later by lazy loading or AJAX are included automatically in version 2.5.

  • Copy · Cut · Paste · Select All

    Keyboard and Clipboard Control

    • Common shortcuts blockedStop Ctrl/Cmd+C, V, X, and A, plus Edit menu copy, cut, and paste outside forms.

    • Extra page actionsOptionally block View Source, Save Page, and Print Page keyboard shortcuts.

  • Safe by Default

    Forms and Editors Stay Usable

    • People can still typeAllow Forms and Editors keeps inputs, text areas, dropdowns, and editable fields working.
    • Common editors includedLabels, TinyMCE, CodeMirror, and Joomla editor areas are allowed by default. Add your own CSS exception selectors when a page needs a free zone.

  • Presets · Per-Action Text

    Clear Messages Visitors Understand

    • Ready-made wordingChoose Custom, Short, Friendly, or Firm. Your custom message is kept when you try another preset.
    • Different text per actionOptionally show separate messages for right-click, keyboard, developer tools, and screenshot attempts.

  • One Switch Each

    Control Mobile, Tablet, Desktop

    • Turn devices on or offEnable rules separately for mobile, tablet, and desktop so each screen size behaves the way you want.
    • Optional screenshot signalTry mobile screenshot detection when useful. Treat it as a bonus: it is not perfect on every phone.

  • Colours · Size · Extra CSS

    Make It Match Your Site

    • Popup stylingSet backdrop colour, text colour, width, height, font size, and font weight for the dialog.
    • Extra CSS when neededAdd trusted custom CSS for fine tuning. Unsafe patterns are blocked, and rules should target .jx-rcd-* classes.

  • Simple · Modern · Honest

    Joomla 4, 5, and 6 Ready

    • Modern packageWorks on Joomla 4, 5, and 6 with service providers, namespaces, module dispatcher, language files, and Web Asset Manager. Native JavaScript with no jQuery.

FAQ

Questions about Right Click Disable

Still unsure? Our support team is one ticket away.

Do the plugin and module work independently?

Yes. Install and use only the system plugin for site-wide rules, or only the module for selected pages. Neither requires the other.

Can I enable the plugin and the module together?

You should not target the same page with both. When both configurations are present, the frontend prefers the plugin, and the module admin shows a conflict warning.

Is this real copy protection?

No. These are browser-side deterrents. Visitors can still access content through browser features, cached resources, screenshots, assistive tools, or direct network requests. Do not use it to protect secrets or licensed source files.

Which Joomla version is supported?

Right Click Disable 2.5 supports Joomla 4, Joomla 5, and Joomla 6. It uses the modern service-provider architecture for both the system plugin and the site module. PHP 8.1 or later is recommended.

How do I exclude administrators or editors from the module?

Use Joomla's native Access field. Create an access level that contains only the groups that should receive the module (for example Guest only), then assign that level to the module.

Will it cover AJAX and lazy-loaded content?

Yes. Version 2.5 uses document-level delegated listeners for right-click and image dragging, so newly added images and links are covered without rebinding.

Why can users still interact with forms and editors?

Allow Forms and Editors is enabled by default. Inputs, textareas, selects, editable regions, labels, TinyMCE, CodeMirror, and Joomla editor containers stay usable. Turn it off only when those exceptions are not required.

Which alert types are available?

Choose Popup, Toast, Alert (native browser dialog), or None for silent prevention. Toast supports position, duration, colours, accent, and maximum width.

Can I show different messages for different actions?

Yes. Enable action-specific messages and provide separate text for right-click, keyboard, developer-tools, and screenshot signals. Empty fields fall back to the main message or selected preset.

Does it block the browser Edit menu copy command?

Yes. Version 2.5 blocks clipboard copy, cut, and paste events in addition to common keyboard shortcuts, while still allowing those actions inside excepted form and editor controls.

What package should I install?

Install pkg_rightclick_disable_2.5.zip for both extensions. Standalone zips are also available for the module or the plugin alone.

Where can I get support?

Visit support.joomlax.com. Include the Joomla and PHP versions, whether you use the plugin or module, page URL, and any browser-console errors.
