Attached Image Watermark

This plugin will watermark attached images on your forums. works on 3.5.3 for sure, probably works on others as well.

Simply upload new Plugin, Then Edit the Three Following lines, then Activate plugin.

Edit this line to match your watermark file:
$WATERMARK_PNG_FILE = '/home/ntfu2/public_html/watermark.png';

Edit this line for bottom or centered
$WATERMARK_POSITION = 'bottom_left';

You can test with your userid only first, Edit this line
$VB_USER_ID = 0;

ATTACHMENTS MUST BE IN FILESYSTEM

does not support .gif since it will stop any animated gif from playing. watermarks, .jpg and .jpeg You can probably add code to watermark others.

If you use it click install, i'll try to give support, but only to those who install
Edit: UkJimbo made this modification for me, i paid for it, so therefore i am releasing it to the public

Enjoy!

yes

or do you have any other mods installed on the board?

I have a couple of plugins, for now I think I'll just uninstall it and wait to see what vb4 has to offer

Works fine for me ... (bottom_left appears on the bottom right though)

Is there anyway to only add a watermark if the image is over a certain size?

If someone attaches a small image then the watermark may obscure it altogether.

love the plugin but i really think Ntfu2 should go back and edit the first post and update the install information about where the attachments storage option is.. i had to read thru alot of this thread and it could have been much easier if it was in the first post.

I thought it already said that

i'll PM you a username and password so you can test it on my forum if you wish.
the link to the Files Upload Center on my forum is: http://www.commodorelife.com/forums/uploader.php

upload a file or 2, click the link again, and you can click the thumbnails below the browse button to view the uploaded files...

what i'm after, is the watermark to appear on the FULL uploaded pic, not the thumbnail...

let me know mate, thanks

Kurt

Hey mate, did you get a chance to look into this?

fyi - for the rest of you, my issue was that i still had my attachments stored in the database instead of file system and that will NOT work. plus moving them to the file system will keep the db smaller and subsequently faster.

and how can we do that?

I'd have thought that the vBulletin docs would be a good starting point

Look under Attachments then Storage. Who'd have ever guessed?

Got it ... it's working ok now..By the way the idea to remove the attachements did a lot for the speed of my forum..but when now I want to do a backup of the forum, the attachements won't be included..right?
Clicked install..and thanks go out to the coder and the person who paid for it

that's right - you'd need to backup all of the files in your attachments directory by FTP, SCP, SFTP or rsync.

Ok but the path to the attachments will always be there if like I upgrade or change hosts right?
