General Support: Watermarking your fullsize images Plogger Version 3.0-3.2

There is a problem, you can't create new files in the admin panel :(

How else could I do this?

When you said to upload my watermark image and a new file called watermark.php in the /gallery/photoshoots/photoshoots directory

It wont let you do it manually, because you can only do it from the plogger admin panel, but you can only upload images in there

Understand?

Ok, so I log in to my host, click on "public_html", then "lilwaynehq.com" and then "gallery" (thats where my plogger is located) and then do i create the file and paste the png file in there? Or do I go to "lilwaynehq.com", "gallery", "images", "photo_shoots", "photo_shoots" and then paste the image or create the file in there?

Thanks

Ok I understand that, but I can't upload the watermark image or file, because it won't let me

On mine, it only lets you upload images through the admin panel on plogger

I can't do i from my host

How would I fix that

Thanks for your help

I am on a host too and I use an ftp program also and I have created and uploaded many files before using an ftp program. Its just that in the images directory it won't let me upload anything else (the only way I can place files in them folders is through the admin panel) but I can create files outside the images directory such as in the plogger folders, but like I say just not in the images directory

Are you sure you have done that on your site?

And will it be anything to do with the permissions?

Ok thanks anyway

But do you know what your permissions are on your folders?

Because I will see if mine are the same

Thanks

My host has sorted it and it works now!!! :D Wooooo

So thanks, its working now and it shows my watermark image, but it looks horrible

Look here: http://www.lilwaynehq.com/gallery/images/cmr_ym/cash_money_records_young_mula/watermark.php?img=weezy_and_woman.jpg

Do you know why it ain't transparent and looks like that?

Thanks

Yes I know how to make a png file, and here is what mine looks like:



But it doesn't show right does it for some reason :(

You know how to fix this?

How can we use this watermark in all images under all albums and collections?

Just wanted to post an update as one has been made for the following cases

FULLSIZE IMAGE WATERMARKING OF ALL PHOTOS

Place the below php in your root directory (same place plog functions is located)

<?php

header('Content-Type: image/jpeg');
$wm = imagecreatefrompng(dirname(__FILE__).'/watermark.png');
//get dimensions
$h = imagesy($wm);
$w = imagesx($wm);
//load image to be watermarked
$image = imagecreatefromjpeg(dirname(__FILE__).'/'.$_GET['img']);
$offset = 10;
$x = imagesx($image) - ($w+$offset);
$y = imagesy($image) - ($h+$offset);
//merges them
imagecopy($image, $wm, 0, $y, 0, 0, $w, $h);
imagejpeg($image);
//clear memory
imagedestroy($image);
imagedestroy($wm);
?>

***THE above should also fix "transperancy issues" for all cases***

Edit or make a .htaccess file with the following

Options +FollowSymLinks

RewriteEngine On

RewriteRule ^images/.+\.jpg$ /watermark.php?img=%{REQUEST_URI} [L]

RewriteCond %{SCRIPT_FILENAME} -f [OR]
RewriteCond %{SCRIPT_FILENAME} -d
RewriteRule .* - [L]

RewriteRule feed/$ /plog-rss.php?path=%{REQUEST_URI} [L]
RewriteRule .* /index.php?path=%{REQUEST_URI} [L]

Place that in the root directory (same as watermark.php)

Place your watermark.png in the same location as .htaccess and watermark.php

And your all set!

You will now have your fullsized images watermarked!

Sorry I am just now seeing this. Your photo links are not static links. They are generated from the thumbs therefore in the steps above you will have to remake these thumbs therefore lossing you intermediate link. The only link that is static meaning that as long as the pictures (file name) does not change it can be edited removed and deleted is the full size image.
