Hello

I've been searching fir a way to remove the 'Details' which displays above image blocks etc.  Or some way to prevent download of images.  I did come across a way of doing this using CSS but I don't have access to the site CSS.

Is there any setting to control this?  I thought it might apply to images in the 'public' folder only but that doesn't seem to be the case.

Regards

Marion

Hi Marion,

There is no way to prevent the downloading of images or other files because even if you did some CSS trickery, the URL can be found in the CSS or at worst, someone could make a screenshot of the image and get it that way.

The obvious 'Details' bar is only displayed when you clicked the button with the magnifying glass to enter 'Details' mode. If you don't do that, it's not so obvious that there is another page where you may even leave comments. But of course, you can click the image itself to be taken to that modal.

Cheers

Kristina

Hello Kristina

Thanks for your reply.  I decided to use the Image tool within a Text block which also is not quite so obvious.
