ASPS Tag Management Add-on for CMS
This add-on simplifies the management of web pages to be copy protected by ASPS. Pages and sections can by nominated for protection by page link or keyword for automatic insertion of meta-tags on the fly.
This plugin enables a CMS admin to set which pages are to be protected by simply nominating a keyword that can be found in a web page's url. For example if the keyword is "lesson" then all pages that include the word "lesson" in their url will have ASPS applied (encrypted for Artisbrowser), leaving all other pages as normal.
Meta Tag Control
Any page can be tagged for Protect Mode and those tags can be hard-coded manually, inserted on the fly using templates and conditional statements, or dynamically by using this plugin. Some of the options controlled by this plugin are:
- Enable/disable ASPS protection for all pages at any time.
- Debug Mode will add all meta-tags except that one that triggers encryption.
- Add an unlimited number of keyword triggers separated by comma.
- Apply protection for all keywords in the list or exempt pages according to the list
- Select options like allow keyboard and allow remote (may not apply to all OS).
- Nominate which operating sustems (OS) are allowed access.
- Nominate the minium version for each OS to ensure that the latest protection is applied.
- Set the dimensions of the browser window by setting width and height in pixels.
- Enforce KIOSK mode which fullscreen without toolbars.
Note: this plugin is for use on web sites that have the ArtistScope Site Protection System (ASPS) server filter installed.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Do you provide support for non-standard CMS?
Yes. PDF documentation is available that explains HTML format and contact to use for each of the properties.
Can I apply protection to all web pages?
Actually that is so easy to do that it is dangerous because you can be locked out of your login page. However making sure that at least one keyword is set and that the option for "apply to nominated keywords only" is set will prevent any mishaps.
Can this plugin be used without permalinks?
Yes. In cases where your pages are identifiable by ID number only you can set keyword triggers like "id=342" etc.
What happens when visitors try to access a protected page using Chrome or Firefox?
Anyone not using ArtisBrowser is politely redirected to the download page for ArtisBrowser.
Can a bot or web scraper fake the user-agent to gain access to protected pages?
That would be a waste of time trying because all they will ever get is an encrypted page with no way of decrypting it to display its contents or even reveal the media links within.
