Social Group and Album Enhancements - PB Watermark Album images

There is a new version of this modification available Here that has been confirmed to work in version 3.7.x

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

This mod is in beta, it was inspired by this thread yesterday.
https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=178296

I'm hoping that posting this beta version in here will help me gather useful feedback on what kind of features might be useful in such a hack.

What does it do:
-Adds a watermark to the bottom right of all images uploaded to users albums.

Planned changes:
1. Allow the url of the watermark image to be changed via admincp
2. Allow location of where the watermark image is placed to be changed via admincp

Installation Instructions:
1. Create or Use the watermark.png I attached, and upload it to your forum root before anything.

2. Edit the file forum_root/includes/functions_album.php and add these functions. I added them right below the Vbulletin Copyright notice.

PHP Code:

function imagecreatefromfile($path)
                        {

                            if(!$info)
                            {
                                return false;
                            }                           
                            $functions = array(

                                IMAGETYPE_XBM => 'imagecreatefromwxbm',
                                );
                            if(!$functions[$info[2]])
                            {
                                return false;
                            }

                            }
                           
                            return $functions[$info[2]]($path);
                        }


function imagesavetofile($image,$path)
                        {

I have followed all the steps accurately and a watermark is not being placed on my uploaded album images

[7lanet]

Is it possible to print the watermark in center of the pic

[zigojacko]

I have got this working now. Great mod. Many thanks.

[Megatr0n]

Is this mod going to be updated or not?

[Jase2]

Suggestion: Have an option for users when uploading to watermark the image. If not selected, no watermark image is used.

Yes this would be a useful addition...

The hack is going to get a complete overhaul. As it stands its just a simple hack I threw together in an hour. After reading through alot of the suggestions I realize that it needs to be completely rewritten to achieve alot of the features that should exist is such a hack. As I am tied up with alot of work lately it might take me a week or two to release a new version with new features and administration options..

[psylenced]

Having it create it on the fly i think is the best option. It means it works on existing albums, plus whenever you change the watermark in the admin all pictures are automatically updated.

^thats exactly what I'll be doing, hence it will be re-written completely

Excellent. With the quotes in mind, I eagerly look forward to a rewritten release. Great job.
