I love it, keep up the great work!

GauGau > Is it possible to add this hack permanently to future releases of CPG?
So that we do not have to implement it manually in new versions?

This will only be included if someone comes up with a hack that makes the mod work both for users running GD and ImageMagick.

PHP lets us place text, shapes, lines on top of image files on-the-fly, kind of like your IP on the AV trick. Is it possible to put image files on top of image files? Would that function depend on server settings? Would it be too resource intensive if it's done on-the-fly?

[Joachim Müller]

Would it be too resource intensive if it's done on-the-fly?

Yes, that's what all those watermark mods available do. They can only be used on sites with nearly no traffic, on larger sites they will bring the server down (or at least, they will get you in trouble with your webhost).
My avatar is just some "proof of concept" thing that can only be done because my personal page if a low traffic site and the image I use is rather small. Doing this stunt "On the fly" with a full-size pic would be way to resources-consuming. Another drawback of the method I use for my avatar is that it relies on GD2, it won't work with GD1 nor ImageMagick (that's why I haven't started coding it for cpg).

Still getting errors like:
Warning: imagesy(): supplied argument is not a valid Image resource in ../include/picmgmt.inc.php

Does anyone know what's wrong?

Sorry for this message again, but doesn't anyone know?
Please  :\'(

[Joachim Müller]

you probably didn't apply the hack properly. Undo your modifications and start over.

Don't thank me, thank Sammy! He's the one that made the mod, I just fixed some minor errors that were in it...

[rob2k4life]

I got it to work but it is only watermarking the resized image, but I have it on watermark "both" anyone know whats wrong with mine?

[Sammy]

Hello All

First I have to say Thanks for Burpee for making those "minor fixes" and for porting this mod for use with 1.3x.
Thanks also for Burbee's brother for co working on it.
I have been working quite lot for a some time ( 1/2 year ) now. Gladly when I came here to see how Coppermine is growing, almost first I bump on Burpees thread

Anyway, I now just want to say thank's 

[Burpee]

Hey Sammy
Nice seeing you back here

[Binks]

There is bug in this mod(so i think). I did exactly as sammy instructed and when i do "batch file adding" some pictures are watermarked and some of them not. Randomly. As i've notice, watermark works, in "batch adding", only on pictures that are bigger then dimentions of intermediat picture. When file(picture) is exact or smaller dimentions, the watermark isn't putted on a picture.
As i said, it happends only when i want to do "catch file adding", but i think that this is big problem, couse when i have 300pictures to add, i would like to use "batch adding"...

Hello Binks

If I remember correctly, it compares imagesizes just as You say. It Does not add watermark on images, that are smaler than intermediate image size declared in settings page for intermediate imeges.

[kleppen]

hello !
I wonder if its possible to fix that if a user uploads a photo or a picture the
picture adress is displayed on the uploaded photo..
and if its ok and possible: shorter url:
like
http://domain.com/?pic=2212343424324243

[Tranz]

I suppose it's possible using ImageTTFText() or ImageString(). I'm using both of them to display dynamic text on my avatar. I output my images temporarily to the browser only. You should output actual files to minimise resource use.

PS. Don't send unsolicited PMs to dev team members.

Busy adding this mod to pictures.scoutlink.net atm and found a teenyweeny typo

-->typo (Watermarks)       'watermarks' => 'Add watermaks',
        'watermark_normal' => 'Resized images only',
        'watermark_image' => 'Original sized only',
        'watermark_both' => 'Original and resized images',
        'watermark_wait' => 'Watermarking images...',
        'watermark_continue_wait' => 'Continuing to watermarking originals and/or resized images...',

[Tranz]

Oh yeah, I noticed that. I have edited the first post.
