Water Marks- would really like info

Basil · June 5th, 2005, 03:31 PM

As stated ion a previous post, I am not able to get the watermarks to work with PhPClassifieds. I am usind GD1 - is that the problem, or could it be th eproblem? Do the watermarks require GD2 or something else? I really do want to get this working.

Thanks,
Basil

Hi..

I'm not sure if GD1 is capable of watermarking, going to GD2 would be the best bet! or Image-Magick if your server has this installed.

Thanks. I just installed ImageMagick, but now nothing will work. (The install seeme dto go fine). I'll make a separate post about the error I'm not getting when I try to upload a new ad (even without watermarks ON).

did you set both lines to your absolute path in the watermark file?

also there is a error in their code, atleast there is from 2.11 and earlier,
Enable On-The-Fly Watermarks
Requires GD2 and you must edit the file watermark.php

needs to be either a 0 or a 1, not yes or no... (it does NOT say this anywhere in their documentation, and it comes default (fresh install) with a "no" typed there...

also the 2 lines in the watermark.php need to be absolute paths not url's as one moderator on this site mentioned to me...

if you are on a vps with cpanel, then there's a 90% chance you have GD2
the easiest way to find out what you have access to is, creat a php info file, you will get something like this http://phpinfo.modwest.com/

if you scroll down a bit you will see a section called GD, it will tell you what version is installed (if any)

hope this helps..

line 214 in showproduct.php should read:

Code:

Content visible to verified customers only.

and be a yes or no value.

GD2 is required for on the fly watermarks, though; IM and GD1 will not work.

Could you explainwhat is meant by On the Fly watermark? Is it possible to do watermarks other than on-the-fly? I just installed Imagmagick and its working, but will watermarks not work at all, or just on-the fly water marks? Not sure I understand the difference between just "Water Marks" and onthe fly water marks.

Thanks,
Basil

Watermarks are permanent. On the fly needs GD2 and means the image is overlayed and the original is not touched or modified in any way. You need to fill out the proper info in watermark.php if using on the fly watermarks.

I'm also attempting on-the-fly watermarks in in the current version of Photopost PHP Pro. Which lines need to be changed in watermarks.php? And, what do they need to be changed to? I don't see any hints within the "comments" of watermarks.php.

Thanks. -- Rik

No line needs to be changed in watermark.php anymore

simply put the proper server path to the file in watermark options

Isn't that option for physically altering new photos when they are uploaded? I don't want to physically alter any photographs, but only the "on-the-fly" option if someone downloads a photo.

Anyway, when I turned on the watermark option (with the path/file) nothing changed with my "on the fly" jpgs. So aren't those settings for branding uploaded files after turning on the watermarking?

I'm confused as I only want "on the fly" watermarking when photos are downloaded and I am not seeing that when I turn on the watermark option to "yes".

Please clarify and sorry for not understanding this.

Thank you. -- Rik
