Multiple Watermarks

Post by steve22 »

First let me thank you for a great component. Together with simple caddy this is the PERFECT solution for my web site.

I was wondering if someone has thought of a way to include multiple water marks. For example what I'm trying to achieve on my web site. I have the watermark enabled with the folder root option. So when various users/photographers upload their pictures they can each set their own watermark. But I also wish to include the my website's water mark as well. This way each picture will have the main web site address and a specific watermark from each photographer or person.

Before I start digging through the source code I was hoping someone else has done something on this related field and can give me some ideas or pointers in the right direction.

I suppose for a start I will be looking for a way to enable both root for the main watermark and folder for the individual watermarks so the main will always be available and the additional watermark is also visible if the appropriate image name has been uploaded to the folder.

But again any directional advice will be appreciated since digging blind through the code is probably going to be very tedious :(
Thanks to anyone with any input on this topic.

Hi, yes such option needs to be customized but no experiences here :-( maybe you need to do some new form to upload the watermarks too and then use use watermarks on images (before it some info needs to be stored in database to know which watermark should by applied on which image) :idea:
