Watermark Question

[dwdallam]

Am I right to assme, after searching, that Coppermine has no in house "watermark on uplaod (http/ftp) module, but, rather, I need to use a hack of some sort?

[Aditya Mooley]

Yes. You are right.

[dwdallam]

OK, can you please integrate that into Coppermine in the next 30 minutes or so and get back to me

Which do you recommend?

[Aditya Mooley]

No. You will have to do it yourself. There are a lot of mods available for this with proper explainations for each of them. Go through them and see which fits your requirements.
If you are really looking for someone to do the integration for you, post a job in freelancer board here -> http://forum.coppermine-gallery.net/index.php?board=30.0

[dwdallam]

I was kidding about developing that module. Of course I know you can't do that.

[Joachim Müller]

Actually, watermarking is in the devel branch of the SVN and subsequently it will be in the next Coppermine version (cpg1.5.x) - no release date scheduled though.
Marking as "solved".

[dwdallam]

Is it going to be server intensive?

[Joachim Müller]

No, it is not going to be "on-the-fly" watermarking, but permanent watermarking with undo option (see similar mod). In fact, it's the watermarking mod by Stramm that exists in his cpg1.4.x modpack as well.

Well, that's a great thing then. Is this mod available now so I can instal and use it?

[Joachim Müller]

Yes: there's an entire sub-board dedicated to watermarking mods. It's named "Mods: Watermarking & image manipulation". The actual mod I'm refering to is "Permanant watermark with undo possibility (GD2+IM working!) + better admin tools". In the future, please search before posting. Locking.

Hey, on the watermark thread question I had, you said:

"Yes: there's an entire sub-board dedicated to watermarking mods. It's named "Mods: Watermarking & image manipulation". The actual mod I'm refering to is "Permanant watermark with undo possibility (GD2+IM working!) + better admin tools". In the future, please search before posting. Locking."

That's not fair man.

I know where the watermarking board is. However, how can I search for a particular watermark when you did not tell me which one you were refering to until the above post? I can't search for a watermark unless I know which one to search for! Back off a little man, please.

Again, I appreciate your help.

[François Keller]

read GauGau' aswer he refers to a particular mod.
No supporter or dev's will help you if you do not show goodwill  :-\

[Hein Traag]

Patience is a virtue and a good search will solve most problems.

Like Frantz said.. if you rant like that your most likely end up not being helped at all. Show some respect. The Devs and those who help out on the board do not get paid to do it.

Have a nice day 

[dwdallam]

I know I agree with you all on that subject. I'm grateful to have open source and all those who support it. But good will goes both ways too. I'm not trying to rant, but just trying to understand how to manipulate CM. I've read at least one other poseter who thought GauGau was being a little too, how do I say it, hard on us.

I really do read the documentation and I try to search for specific information. I'm not posting to try to cause problems.

Again, I thank all of you who have helped and who help others. I fully support your efforts.

[Joachim Müller]

The thread you refer to is http://forum.coppermine-gallery.net/index.php?topic=38858.0, merging this new thread you started (with a silly thread subject) with the original one (locking it on the way).
Re-read it: I told you that it had been created by Stramm, and I told you that it is a permanent watermark:

No, it is not going to be "on-the-fly" watermarking, but permanent watermarking with undo option (see similar mod). In fact, it's the watermarking mod by Stramm that exists in his cpg1.4.x modpack as well.

There's only one watermarking mod that has those options, so it should have been quite obvious.
There's a particular reason why the original thread got locked (thread drift). Insisting and starting yet another thread is rude.
I gave you all the help I could - I posted a link to the board that discusses watermarking as well as a link to the actual mod discussed. So what else is it that you want? Are you trying to be confrontational? What's the use of this thread? Do supporters have to justify their actions? If you want support in the future, then review your attitude. You're only causing extra moderation effort and you are wasting our time. Stop it.
