The following information is required to get an answer:
Get this information from the PHP diagnostic (in the configuration wizard).
Gallery URL (optional but very useful):http://hollidayeagle.com/Gallery/albums.php
Gallery version:1
Apache version:Apache Version Apache
Apache Release 10333100
Apache API Version 19990320

PHP version (don't just say PHP 4, please):PHP Version 4.4.1
Graphics Toolkit:
Operating system:windows xp
Web browser/version (if applicable): Internet Explorer 6.0

Question: Is there anyway to lock the photos in the gallery so that visitors cannot print or save them to their computers?

Don't give permissions for visitors to view the items.
all methods of preventing copying and pasting ( no right click, transparent image over image.... etc, etc. ) don't work.
Watermark you items and use permissions.

i was just reading in the support sections something about disabling the right click option. I think that would help a little. I still want visitors to view the items. Is there an easy way to disable the right click option?

Any help would be appreciated, I am not very knowledgable in this area.

If you still want to do something that does not work, search the forums.....It has been asked LOTS of times. It is as simple as adding some Javascript to the html_wrap/gallery.header file.

Thanks Dave for the advice. I have really screwed something up now. I have apparently messed up something in my view_photo.php file. When I click on photos now, I get this message.

Parse error: parse error, unexpected '&' in /home/holliday/public_html/Gallery/view_photo.php on line 297

Can you help me???
