Phpbb View Source Hide

Post by Raptiye »

Hello;

With the ctrl + u feature, many special bb codes and plugins on my site appear. How can I prevent it from appearing? Ty.

Remove all browser from their PCs.
Seriously, there are various ways to "prevent" source code being seen but most if not all can be bypassed easily.
Spelling is freeware, which means you can use it for free.
On the other hand, it is not open source, which means you cannot change it or publish it in a modified form.

And as phpBB is open source then it is freely available to anyone.

I have no purpose of hiding them all. But my own private content can be easily copied. I'm trying to prevent this

Then don't put it in the public domain on the internet

There are methods to hide your own themes, plugins and custom codes on wordpress. Judging by what you say, you should not use the internet. But it's not funny, as there is no solution.

Then use the permission system to prevent others even seeing that private content.

I have to ask: why do you want to do this?

You can't "hide your own themes", because the CSS and HTML and javascript has to be available to the user's browser. That means anyone can reverse engineer your theme* if they really want to. They may have to wing it on some logic, but the structure and presentation will be pretty obvious to anyone who knows what they are doing.

For plugins, any markup or CSS or javascript they generate will be visible to any user. Again, it's only the logic that will not be visible (events, ternaries, whatever you're using).

*phpBB insists on calling them "styles" for some weird reason, but I understand what you are referring to.

Very simple. Would you like something you've made to be stolen? or to be stolen and broadcast as if she had made herself? Example: Creating a nulled/warez with a WordPress sentence.

When you say "private content", exactly what are you referring to? Can you give precise details of what you want to hide?

Under what licence did you "make" something? You may have legal recourse depending on the licence.

  • Theme/Style
  • Plugins/ext
  • Special BBCodes

Theme/Style >>> the result of the style is visible, but not the style files (but as mentioned: the logic could be reconstructed just by using the browser's Inspector tools)
Plugins/ext >>> the result can be seen but the extension files cannot be seen, nor the logic/procedures
Special BBCodes >>> the result can be seen but not how the BBcode is defined

Take the Inline code BBcode c >>> Can you reconstruct the BBcode definition?
