How to easily copy O-Zone pics

  • You have to use the "view source" function of the browser to search for the picture's source within the web page's code. For example, if you go to this page which has A.J. Hawk's pic:

    http://www.theozone.net/photo_app/photo.view.cfm?PhotoID=10196&PhotoCounter=9&numberofentries=3&SportPTR=4&SessionPTR=8&SortOrder=ASC

    you'll see in the URL the portion "PhotoID=10196". That's the name of the photo (actually, the number 10196 and ".jpg" is the actual photo, thus "10196.jpg"). To get directly to the photo, just delete everything in the URL after the slash after "photo_app", so the URL is:

    "http://www.theozone.net/photo_app/", and then add "photos/" and then the photo name "10196.jpg" so you get:

    http://www.theozone.net/photo_app/photos/10196.jpg

    This will get the the picture and you can copy it from there, saving you the hassle of having to manually search through your browser cache.

    Fuckin' O-Zone thinks they're cute by sticking in a little JavaScript function which prevents you from copying the URL, but it doesn't stop you from manually modifying it.
     
    1) We have a thread about this in the graphic forum. Perhaps we need to make an FAQ, b/c a vital part of the FAQ is understanding that using the pictures is a form of stealing. JimD did not mind me using them for fun if I gave him credit.

    this thread needs to be attached to that explanation of ethics

    it's very easy to just use the pics, but since we all love JimD's work so much, it's definitely worth it to consider the ethics involved.

    2) you don't have to do anything that detailed. Just click on the image from the thumbnails page, and it will look like this
    http://www.the-ozone.net/photo_app/photo.view.cfm?PhotoID=10189&PhotoCounter=2&numberofentries=3&SportPTR=4&SessionPTR=8&OponentPTR=352&SortOrder=ASC

    http://www.the-ozone.net/photo_app/photos/10189.jpg

    They've changed their folder layout, so the above suggestions won't work. Now, simply use this URL prefix: http://www.theozone.net/photos/ followed by the photo number and ".jpg". For example, the URL photo of Pitt running away from the entire Michigan defense is: http://photo.the-ozone.net/photo.view.cfm?PhotoID=13997&PhotoCounter=112&StartRow=97&numberofentries=3&SportPTR=4&SessionPTR=9&SortOrder=ASC. If you go there, you'll notice up in all that jumble is the text "PhotoID=13997"...that's your photo number. So, put that and ".jpg" after the "http://www.theozone.net/photos/" suffix to get "http://www.theozone.net/photos/13997.jpg", which will give you the photo.
