Watermark images (on upload)

Here is an improved version of Watermark. Saves a lot of serverload on big sites like mine (since it's an adult site I won't paste the URL here. Send me an PM if you would like to know).

Currently only works if you have thumbnail creation enabled.

I just stumbled on this hack, seeing it doesn't work.

Searching the ImageMagick site shows multple command line ways of watermarking.

Question: couldn't it just be accomplished by something like this:

PHP Code:

shell_exec('composite -gravity SouthEast -compose plus ' . $watermark_image . ' ' . $original_image . ' ' . $destination_image); 


If so, where would you put that command?

this hack works fine in 3.0.5 and 3.0.6 (just make sure you have a transparent .png file)

Yo Yo are you sure? Your the only one that says it works.
Vb.org sucks man. They tell you to come here to do almost anything besides how to use a if statement and they dont monitor the dam posts.

I should put up a hack that erases your database and put major addition and hack of the month. maybe then they will do something....
jeez. Or maybe its just cuz im moody today. LOL

positive. but you need to have "create thumbnail" turned on and have the right kind of transparent img file as mentioned earlier in the thread. works 100% for me!

I have Create Thumbnail enabled, but I only ever had about a quarter of the picture load, when you refresh, you get a shed load of text (just random characters) ... this is a great hack and something I really could do with having on my forum!!

Thanx guys

i have thumbnails enabled and it doesnt work

It works on some images for me but not others...

[salem65]

The filesize of the image gets set in the dbase before the watermark is put on. So the image is actually larger. Then in the attachment.php it has header("Content-Length: $filesize"); Well it is only going to read out the amount of the file that is set in the dbase. Comment this line or get the filesize from the actual attachment and it works.
