Miscellaneous Hacks - Watermark Attachments

Product: 1
Plugin: 2
Query: 0

tested only on the pure installation of vbulletin. install at your own risk to work with other attachment mods.

Feature

* put a logo (watermark) on your attachments.
* option to watermark only attachments after X days of creation. this helps your hotlinked images become free ads.
* option to watermark thumbnails but stop hotlinking to full size image (return a blank image instead)
* option NOT to watermark images for traffic from certain sites

Install

Step 1: import product-watermark.xml
Step 2: create and upload your own watermark logos. one for top and one for bottom.
Step 3: put the absolute path of watermark images into options. (/var/www/html/.../watermark.png)
Step 4 (optional) : if you don't want the attachments watermarked viewing on your own site or some other friend sites (like google image), just put the domains into "Skip Referer" option.

Not working
1. set the "Days Delay" option to 0
2. refresh your cache by press Ctrl-F5.
3. the watermark images should be in PNG format with transparent background.
4. check the "Safe Mode Temporary Directory" option. the directory should be writable.
5. only works for PNG, GIF, JPG attachments.
6. only works if the attachments are stored in the filesystem.
7. GD library should be installed.

Todo
* currently, we have to create a temp file while sending a watermarked attachment. It will be appreciate if anybody can help me to get rid of this.

i'm not sure. i never use Lytebox. this mod won't modify any file or db tables. maybe you should try to clear your browser cache or press Ctrl+F5. attachements are always cached.
