What does it do
Well, it's pretty simple actually. I created a page which can be called from the navbar in a popup and will allow your users to upload up to 10 images at a time. Non logged-in users will be prompt with an error message.
It has no restriction on filesize and dimensions what so ever! But it does resize all images according to a 640*480 dimension with keeping the original aspect ratio.
What do you have to do?
1. Create a folder in your forum folder called 'uploaded' and CMODD it with 777
2. Add the following JS to your headinclude template BEFORE <!-- CSS Stylesheet -->:
Code:
<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript">
function popUp(URL) {
day = new Date();
id = day.getTime();
eval("page" + id + " = window.open(URL, '" + id + "', 'toolbar=0,scrollbars=1,location=0,statusbar=0,menubar=0,resizable=0,width=500,height=500,left = 390,top = 150');");
}
</script>
3. Create a link in the navigation bar (either in navbar template or header template) with the following link:
4. Change the configuration values at top of the upload.php file:
Code:
$maxwidth = 640;
$maxheight = 480;
## Location to your watermark.PNG file, default images/watermark.png
$watermark_resource = "images/watermark.png";
## Define watermark location, 1 = lefttop, 2 = righttop, 3 = leftbottom, 4 = rightbottom
$watermark_location = 4;
// set allowed usergroups - separate with a comma
define('UGS','6,7,2,5');
// set the full path to your main forum directory
define('FWD','/home/clubpunto/domains/clubpunto.nl/public_html');
// set vB version you are using - use 307 or 350
define('VBN','350');
// set the name of this script - no .php extension
define('THIS_SCRIPT','uploader');
5. Upload the file in the attachment to your forum root directory aswell as the watermark.png image
6. Finished!
Test Results
I tested the script by uploading this image:
File Dimensions: 2576 x 1920 pixels (7.1 Megapixels)
File Size: 2,14 MB (~ 2214 kb)
After uploading there was a file with these stats:
File Dimensions: 640 ? 477 pixels (notice the aspect ratio is kept original)
File Size: 278 kb (~ 0,2 MB)
Version Changes v1.3
- Added the option to choose where the watermark is placed (left/right-top, left/right-bottom) Version Changes v1.3b
- This version is similar to v1.3, but instead of YOU having the option to select the position of the watermark, a user will be able to choose via a dropdown menu. (See screenshot)
Version Changes v1.2
- Support for PNG watermarks (I noticed that the PNG background is not made transparant, I have no time to look at this, cause of having to celebrate christmas, I'll look at it asap!) (See screenshot of the car (bottomright is the watermark))
Version Changes v1.1
- Support for image resize for .GIF and .PNG images aswell

Not really planning on adding that, it's just basic functionality to improve using the [IMG] tag and images on forums. If there's an URL already just use that one between the [IMG] tags or save the images to your harddrive for uploading
Yep, will work for any version. There is no version related material.. however I'm in doubt now.. the login check might be changed during the versions after 3.5.4, give it a quick test.. it only involves 2 simple template changes which can be reverted in a seconden
Does adding this prevent uploads of other files, such as MP3, PDF etc?
I am looking for something that watermarks my photos as I will be doing live coverage from a major tradeshow in Las Vegas next week and I don't want others stealing my photos but I dont want to prevent members uploading other types of files.
