With this Plugin you can automatically add text or html to content that is copied from your page.

If a visitor copies any kind of text from the website, a link to the page is appended, so if it is pasted elsewhere, a link to the page is maintained.

right now you can:

  • specify the Read more link text, default: Read more at:
  • how many
    tags should be inserted below the copied text and the link or copyright notice
  • specify if you want the current page title included
  • make every copy link to the main page
  • decide if you want the site title to be appended
  • see previews of HTML and text versions of the copied text and link

I plan to increase the functionality with:

  • some internationalisation
  • if somebody wants to contribute legacy IE support I’ll include that

Suggestions welcome
