Unfortunately, due to the continuing problems and complaints from members with the grey bars instead of the watermark appearing on larger pics, we did have to uninstall this mod.

We do thank the author disasterpiece and appreciate his efforts to support the vBulletin community with his many add-on mods. :)

Doug

The images are not showing up

Any updates on this? Does it work in 4.1.4 . I’m really hoping I can get a watermark feature :D

Just installed this on my 4.1.4 board and it is working great :)

It seems like it depends on your webserver software, version and installed modules. It's hard to pinpoint problems, I can't reproduce.

I'll try to build it more error-tolerant in the next version, which probably won't come out too soon :(

Oh, why not?

You have any examples?

Hi partner .. :)

Have you had any further chance to look at the grey bar problem?

Appreciate your efforts and work ....

Hi, I was wondering if I install this add on, will photos still be watermarked if people right click on the pictures and and save it?

Respectfully,
KP

wish this could be released for 3.x as well!

Running 4.1.6.

I'm getting "Cache Path Doesn't Exist!". I'm not sure what you're looking for here. I've tried /cache/ I've tried /websiteurl/cache/. I've tried everything I can think of, but nothing seems to work. My cache path is set to 777.

Images path says the same thing, yet it's showing my image in the Watermark Preview thingy.

This has stopped all images from working now.

What's up with my settings, or your mod?

I'm not getting a preview at the bottom either.

This is when I look at the preview image URL.

But you do know how paths work in unix systems?

/cache/ means the absolute path. It would look for a directory named "cache" in the root dir /
I think you meant relative paths from the current web directory the script is located in. then you need to remove the first slash: "cache/"

or to be sure, use the full absolute path. Let's say your web directory is located in "/var/www/vhosts/somedomain/htdocs/"
then you want to use the following path:
"/var/www/vhosts/somedomain/htdocs/cache/"

This indicates, that you didin't upload the sample image file which should go to your forum's image directory with the filename "watermark.png"

Check the archive you downloaded here and upload all files, including those in the image dir branch.

Meh...appears more full of fail than anything. It either works or it doesnt....and it doesnt. Images dont show...no water marks....cache exists....but your program continues to say it doesnt. Being I have wasted about two hours on this at this point....I'm out.

Any updates on this problem?

Currently have mod turned OFF, so I was wondering if there's been any progress to determining why this seems to be a hit and miss problem...

Thanks .. :)

Regards,
Doug

I couldn't reproduce this problem on 3 different web server configurations yet.

And tbh this mod isn't the focus of my attention right now, so it'll take some more time or perhaps another skilled fella who'd like to take a look at this.

Thanks for this add in ...
But i have a request, this add in do not effect to thumbnail image, please upgrade to this add in.

Solved this request: remove New request: have option at Plugin Setting about effect to thumb.
Thanks very much :)

I have this same problem, I read the answer No. 96 hayo but not the solution.
other than that to write images remain in miniature and I can not see them in large or Siqueira copying the link of the image in the IMG tag .. I'm so lost, not to do.

I hope you can help me, thanks.

It is important that your cache directory works.

If you're running on a linux machine, then the most common value would be "/tmp" (without quites)
Try that and report back if this counts as a valid cache directory.
If you have success, the images should appear as well.

Oh it works perfectly Thank you very much mate, I was really going crazy looking for the solution and place the link was just good in the cache

That I make when loading an image, it comes in real size. No thumbnails?

Thanks...:D

Finally got it to work, thanks for the better explanation.

Now my forum is running really slow, is it back dating all the old photos and adding the watermark? Or does it do it on each call up of the image?

It does only add watermark when the image is not in the cache, a so called "lazy" method.
Check the overall cache size, I don't think that the watermark tool is causing the problem tho

Disasterpiece

I've been looking but not how:

I want to upload an image that aparesca with and without miniature size.
Ie I raise the image and automatically display actual size.
and disable the thumbnail at the end of the post, is very ugly.

Thanks.

Is this compatible with the vb option:

"Save Attachments as Files" YES?

Or attachments have to be stored in the DB for this mod to work?

I ask, because I have been looking for server optimization (Vb optimise 2.0.1 mod), and this is one of the things recommended to do, to save attachments as files instead the default DB storage of Vb.

Please any help would be apreciated,

Thanks!

the mod works with both files being stored on the filesystem and the database.

Keep in mind tho, that the cached watermark files are stored in the filesystem, regardless of the vbulletin options.

This means: Your original files without the watermarks are stored as you define it in the vB settings db/disk but the watermark mod stores the cached files only in the filesystem.

Thanks for your fast response.

So, in this case, using your mod, is the same the vb storage option:

DB or filesystem

because the images would be cached with watermark in files and served directly, isn't it?

Or in spite of this watermarked files cached, would be better to storage the original images in files instead the DB?

Thanks very much!!!!!

Actually it doesn't really matter if you store the files in db or filesystem. For the mod it's much faster to use the filesystem, so it can perform a fast check if the file is already cached than having to query the database for each case.

I recommend to store the attachment in the filesystem, otherwise you would carry the whole attachments in each of your database backup where the cached watermark files are on the filesystem nontheless.

Thanks, I will transfer them from Db to filesystem.

Great mod!!!

I recommend it, and great support!!!!!!!

It doesn´t work on my 4.1.8. The preview is ok, but not when I applied it. Then you can´t see the pictures , just an X instead.

Now it works. I forgot the TMP and 777.

Yep, that's necessary to make the watermark processing work :)

Hi and thank you for this mod!

Is it normal that the watermark is applied only to the full image and not to the thumbnail?
Also I had to disable the lightbox popup, 'cause it makes this problem: https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showpost....6&postcount=35

This helps sorting out how to process the thumbnail, but a coded by the author solution is appreciate! :D

Yeah, well it didn't make much sense to me to include thumbnails as well, because.. they're just low quality previews. Who wants to steal them? :P
Also it takes up additional cache size for no reason in my opinion, but I'll include an option there as well.

my thumbs are 500px wide (other admin wants so), so I think others could steal it.

thank you!

Thank you for this mod.
It works great. :up:
