Add Watermark - Scanning Database

pgowder · June 6th, 2006, 11:07 AM

I'm trying to scan the db and add a watermark to photos I've uploaded this weekend.

It shows me that all the phots were checked and says finished. But when I go to the gallery, they are not watermarked??

have you uploaded a .png/.gif logo for it to use? and specified the the location of the file in the admin cp? also do you have GD/GD2/Imagemagik installed?

Yes, I have all that. And all of my other files are watermarked. When I was uploaded these this weekend, I accidently click on the skip watermark process button!

Thanks

Try making sure the Admin => Edit Categories watermarking permissions are set correctly to allow your usergroup photos to get watermarked.

Yes, the usergroup is set right.

What else could it be?

Can you help??

pgowder · June 8th, 2006, 01:18 PM

Any way I can send one of you guys my login info to look at this?

The photos I've just uploaded are very popular right now and I don't want them to get out with out the watermark on them.

Thanks

Please help!

Check in your photos table and see if they are marked as watermarked to yes in wmarked column. Running the scan database thing is not going to watermark photos marked as watermarked although they may or may not be

Yeah you can send an admin login via PM

In the database it is marked as yes. But now I'm seeing that no new files are getting watermarked. i'm PM'ing you a login.

yes if its yes in the database then old files are not going to get watermarked. I can check out the new photos not getting watermarked issue.

It appears nothing it getting watermarked now. Can you look at that?

Is there a way to set them all back to no? Or should the field be blank?

Chuck S · June 12th, 2006, 11:02 AM

well you can issue a mass query but I would advise against it since files already watermarked would be watermarked twice with permanent watermarking

Thanks!

Can you help me figure out why nothing is getting watermarked?

pgowder · June 12th, 2006, 11:05 AM

If I do want to go through and change some of these entries in the db, should it be no or blank?

Chuck S · June 12th, 2006, 11:10 AM

It should be no

As far as the watermark check to make sure its a 24bit transparent png image

It works fine with ON THE FLY watermarks as you can see. I turned off permanent watermarking and turned on the fly on and it shows fine. Now on permanent watermarking if its not stamping the image I should be getting an error but I am not which is extremely weird here thus lets see what your server logs say.

Also try moving the watermark image under your data directory and change the path there.

Ok, I'll move it to the data directory.

I dont' have server logging turned on because of the large load the server recieves.

pgowder · June 12th, 2006, 11:25 AM

I've moved the png file, and made sure that the server had full permissions to it.

And tested uploading, still didn't stamp the photo.

Any other suggestions?

Chuck S · June 12th, 2006, 11:54 AM

I would need an error to assist here I think at this point. Everything appears fine and set correctly.

You sure you can not turn on server logs?

I had errors turned off in PHP.ini. Try it now.
