Permanant watermark with undo possibility (GD2+IM working!) + better admin tools

[Stramm]

zip your modded admin.php and attach it to your next post

22 pages on this thread.  Amazing.  I hope I didn't miss the solutions to my problems (below).

This mod keeps the original image stored, before the watermark was added.  (?right?)

I would like to use a payment mod on my gallery.  Is there a payment mod which can be used with this watermark mod - to grab the pre-watermarked image?

I found a quirk after installing the mod when using the import_gallery2 mod (from Menalto Gallery).  If importing images while watermarking is turned on in config, there is a database error after a couple minutes (database went to sleep?).  Turning watermarking OFF solves this and the images import.

I'm getting errors when trying to add the watermark:

Finished updating thumbs/ images!

My folder is CHMOD 777 and the files within it are 666

When I go to view the album, no thumbnails appear - just the filename/title and description.  The filename/title is not a link.

Thank you for the help and assistance!

(the watermark appear too small   you cannot see at on the dark photos )


is it possible somebody to help ?

Sorry if the question is stupid but i'm not sure which options i need to change in my config
99% im sure i need to change 
Files and thumbnails settings >>Max width or height of an intermediate picture/video **  400 to ++
but i want to ask first here 

[Stramm]

The watermark function is working as expected.
Eg. here's a watermarked fullsized picture from your gallery http://abroadbg.com/albums/userpics/10001/17/DSCN0785.JPG

see, the watermark has exactly the dimension you ask for. However your additional mod sizes down the fullsized pic and therefore the watermark seems to be smaller also (even if it isn't).

Solution: reduce the size of your fullsized images to the display size (you actually show within graybox [is that it?])

[Heroe]

Thank you for the fast reply Stramm i have installed on my gallery the      
LightBox JS for Fullsize Popup Slideshow
could you tell where in the config options is the reduce size for fullsized images because i cant find at anywhere,if you have time ofcourse 

[Stramm]

http://coppermine-gallery.net/demo/cpg14x/docs/index.htm#admin_picture_thumbnail

Max width or height for uploaded pictures (pixels)
and enable
Auto resize images that are larger than max width or height
to
Yes: Everyone - Enabled for all users, including the Admin during batch-add process

[Heroe]

thank you i think i did what i want but i cant see big different in the watermark size
i change the options in:
Files and thumbnails settings

and set the Max size for uploaded files (KB)                    1024 pixels
&
Max width or height for uploaded pictures/videos (pixels)   1024 pixels

and update from the admin tools now everything work 

this is the result after the changes http://abroadbg.com/albums/userpics/10001/17/DSCN0785.JPG
(do you see the changes ?) Thank you very much again
I resised too many times the pictures,do you know if the mod change the quality of the pictures,because i think i read somewhere in the forum someore older version of the mod cut the quality and is fixed in the latest version of the watermark mod 

[Stramm]

Lightbox dynamically resizes the image (as already said). If the watermark looks good in a 1024px width picture (displays in the desired size) and you size down this picture to 700px width, then of course the now permanent watermark looks smaller, too.

Find the size (width) of your images where the watermark should have it's 100% and that this as the reference.

Means viewing the images using your mod with a 800px width browser I get ~650px width images. If I use a 1024px width browser, images display at ~850+ px

The watermark is fix to a certain size.

I'm doing a site for a friend and did a fresh install of cpg1.4.20.
Overwrote the picmgmt.inc.php with the one from stramm_mod1.4.19.bridge.
Did the update.php.

Nothing shows in my Gallery Configuration.

Is this a 1.4.20 thing?

[Cath22]

Do we have to wait for a x.20 version or is the x.19 version also valid to use?

Thanks
Cath

Disregard please.
I miss a ), in the code

Similar questions have been answered many times within this thread. picmgmnt.inc.php doesn't change often. But you always can use the version from within the actual modpack.

I have all done well, but I can see any options in admin tool about watermark.
Where shoud be a path to set the location of watermark.png file ?

I from Poland , so I have edit a polish.php file instead english.php. But it does not matter, i guess.

Do I need to do all this changes again ?
What do you think, ?

[Stramm]

The options related to watermarking you can find in the 'config'.

[jolly]

what does it mean  " config" ??

you ment www.mycoppermine.com/admin.php settings ?

[Stramm]

Yes, please switch to english US so we use the same naming.

[jolly]

Strange, because I cannot change my default lanuguage. I choose english, click save settings, and I still got polish as a default. So I changed the name of file polish.php for a moment, and i got english menu now.

Ok, I see config, right, but there is absolutly nothing related to watermark. Why ?

I swap picmgtm.inc.php files, I made changes in all files, I have updated update.sql as well :/

?

RTFM!

Post real links and not dummy placeholders!

Nonsense. Go to http://www.mycoppermine.com/admin.php?lang=english then...

Ok, there is another little problem, for which i could not find solutions.

After uploads files by admin tools ( FTP) , the watermark is showed only in normal zise photos. When I click on the photography , the Large size is without watermark.

Updating files in admin tools does not help.

What i need to do to solve it ?

[Stramm]

I know this thread is long. But I answered this at least 10 times now  :-\

You'll need to chmod files (644 or 666) and folders (755 or 777). Seems your folder permissions are OK... So chmod your files. Best is to do that right after uploading (FTP).
