Automated Link Attribution with Copy-Magic-Paste #71

Closed colomet closed 3 years ago

colomet commented 6 years ago

Feature Scope

Feature Description

Each time a user copy and paste a text, automatically they copy the link of the page.

Feature Use Case

We've all seen it: Someone helps themselves to your awesome content and pastes it onto their own website without even mentioning the source.

Wouldn't it be generous of us to do the work for them? Wouldn't it be ideal if their copy and pasted content automatically linked back to your site?

You can copy and paste the code in your theme or plugin maybe.

If you do not like to show the URL with the id of the page, change the const pagelink =

const pagelink =\n\nSource: © ${document.location.href};

Closing as we won't be implementing this is Pressbooks core in near future, but open source users are welcome to read this thread for ideas about implementation on their own.

Hi - I found out about Copy-Magic-Paste from this 2015 article on Moz.com. Is it the same thing? Is Squarespace supported? I'm helping a friend out who is being copied left right and center (entire pages) by competitors and I wanted to see if this might help provide at least a small deterrent. Thanks!
