Is it possible to disable the context menu on Custom URL screens? I'd like to prevent users from being able to copy a given hyperlink to their phone's clipboard by pressing on it for a few seconds.

Do you manually type it in each time, or is there a setting I'm missing? Comments David - how do you set a signature for Buzztouch?

Is it to keep them in-app, or for some other reason? Comments Just out of curiosity, why would you want to prevent somebody from copying the link?

mrDavid BTMods.com Posts: 3936 Reg: May 21, 2011 San Diego, CA 51,910	11/05/12 12:31 PM (13 years ago) Personally I think it would be used to keep them in-app, gives a more native feel and the page may not be designed for use outside of app, as navigation to that page might be native only (so once you get there via web browser, you wont be able to leave or find navigation, thus giving your "app" a bad stigma.) Just a hunch, but that would be MY reasoning!

chris1 Code is Art Posts: 3862 Reg: Aug 10, 2012 Austin, TX 50,120	11/05/12 12:35 PM (13 years ago) Two reasons - the first is as you suspected - I don't want someone loading an app-specific webpage from outside the app - it ruins the user experience. The second is security-related. A couple of my links pass a variable across the url that I'd rather not display to the public. I have a backup security measure in place on server-side, but I like the idea of double security.
