Catagory watermark error(FIXED)

[bplinson]

I am attempting to change the setting of the watermarking options for each catagory. At the very bottom you can select which USER Groups photos should be overlayed.

When I attempt to select all the groups except for my paid members I get the following error.

We're sorry, but the system experienced an unrecoverable error. Please try again later.

Script:

Query: SELECT parent FROM xlpp_categories WHERE id=

Result: You have an error in your SQL syntax near '' at line 1

Database handle: Resource id #8

Any help with this problem will be greatly appreciated.

Help!!!! Tech Support!!! .

Is there no one here with an idea on how to fix this?

[Chuck S]

Well if you had a line number it surely would help as I dont get an error. There has been one error reported and fixed here with admin category editor concerning members gallery edit but you can try this. If you dont have it in the file add the code in bold

if ( $oldparent != $newparent ) {
updateparents($oldparent);
if ( is_numeric($newparent) && !empty($newparent) ) updateparents($newparent);
}

Here is the whole error. I thought I had it in the first post.

Do I do this in the adm-cats.php file?

[bplinson]

Okay. I added that line to the adm-cats.php file and no longer get the error but the watermark is still showing up on images of usergroups that are not suppose to have them.

TheURL to my gallery is:

http://xlforum.net/photopost/showgal...user=1&cat=500

and there should not be watermarks on my images but there are.

[Chuck S]

The watermarks will show up for usergroups that dont have them if they are already permanently marked. You cant go back and unwatermark a file if its a permanent watermark. Thats how permanent watermarks work meaning future pictures will not be watermarked if using permanent watermarking

Now globals on the fly is a global setting which means it will watermark EVERY file since it has nothing to do with permanent watermarks which use the bypass switch's etc

Thanks, I will give it a try.

So to how do I disabel the global watermark setting.

Currently I have it set to:

Enable on-the-fly image protection - YES
and
When using on-the-fly image generation, do you want to overlay the watermark image? - Yes

Should I set these both to NO and if I do do I only set up the watermarking option in the EDIT Categories?

[Chuck S]

Well the second one you set to NO

When using on-the-fly image generation, do you want to overlay the watermark image? - Yes

You can then turn on permanent watermarking which users the catperms of who does and does not get images watermarked

[bplinson]

Still not working. You want admin privs to go in and take a look? I can PM you credentials.

[Chuck S]

what do you mean its not working this would help you can PM credentials

[bplinson]

PM sent

[Chuck S]

Yep I think you have have misunderstood the multiple usergroup thing. If a user belongs to two groups and one is watermarked one is not then the best scenerio is chosen meaning his images are not watermarked

Using the ID you provided I uploaded a picture and my image is not watermarked as you have set

[bplinson]

Seems to be KINDA working now but it is hit and miss and is also watermarking some of the the usergroups that I did not want watermarked. Do secondary usergroups play into this at all?

Also will I need to run the SCAN DATABASE utility everytime I want to watermark the new images?

[Chuck S]

I think I answered the secondary group thing above as this is where the confusion lies I beleive

No you do not run a scan database everytime you want to rebuild watermarks

[bplinson]

Thanks for all your help I guess I will play around with this a little more.
