Automatic Link Attribution from Copy and Paste

[Donny]

I want to setup this. When somebody copy's text from my website, it automatically generates the source URL to link back to my forum.

https://moz.com/ugc/copymagicpaste-...de-to-customize-the-copyevent-on-your-website (the source file isn't working from the dropbox download it links to).

I think I found something already made that does it for XenForo, but I can't get it to work to save my life: https://xenforo.com/community/resources/xd-disable-right-click.6864/

This add-on seems to have the function to add a source URL when text is copied. Which is the only bit I wanted to use. Couldn't get it to work, so I tried to enable all of its features, and non worked. So I assume it's just not working or doesn't agree with another add-on I am using. ( @XDinc ?)

So.

Does anybody know how to get this working somehow? Perhaps there's another way to do it? Perhaps there's another add-on that includes it and I'm missing it somewhere because it's part of a bigger add-on?

Can anybody help?

TIA.

https://platform.33across.com - these seem to do it. But I've never heard of them. And don't really want to start giving out my traffic to their services.

I'd rather something that runs on my hosting. I don't really trust BigData industries.

Those things are annoying and 99% of people remove the link when it's generated.

The good people who quote you will always throw a link to you for credit, but the bad ones are going to delete your auto inserted link anyway, so don't even bother.

I was going to add a 1x1 clear image loaded from a domain of mine to check stats and trace something I'm concerned about on one of my forums.
