[Mod] Image Annotation (Watermark)

[lakeside]

I just used the batch annotation on a gallery where the user who owns the photos is Lakeside, but in the watermark it shows
sitename - admin
site url

This only seems to happen during batch watermarking, when a user just uploaded two photos they both came out with his username instead of admin which is what I am when logged into my admins control panel.

Any suggestions?

Any suggestions?

   guess, what it the username of the only user, who is able to run plugins?  i believe, it Admin... so what name you're expecting to see it the annotation?    

[lakeside]

Sorry, I assumed wrongly then.  I asssumed that the annotation would grab who the rightfull owner is and write that as the users name on the image.

Im glad I did it with my own gallery first.

Now I've just switched my watermark to
site name -site url to do all the batch annotation, then will switch it back to using the username so that new uploads will contain the users name in it.

Thanks for a great mod by the way.

mmm... i haven't even thought about such feature. and i don't thik it's really needed. batch plugin is just a small tool which helps you to annotate old images. multiple db queries could slow down this process. but if somebody need this, i can try to do this in the next version

[lakeside]

Oh, by the way, if I choose a main category that has no images in it, but has multiple sub categories, will the batch annotate traverse down the categories, and annotate all the subcategory images as well, or must I pick each subcategory one by one?

[SLL]

you have to select each category and sub-category one by one

but did u do that?  
this mod REQUERED GD2.
making thubnails does not requered GD2, and if u dont do that changes, 4images wont use fully features of GD2

PLease teach me how to check my server got GD2 or not?

P/s: I got ImageMagick, can it run without GD2? (Even I don't know do my server have GD2 or not.

* I had used "test.php" but the result is small error picture on my browser.
* I had done all process with install, but my site doesn't seen any different. ( control panel have additional function on plugin)

get the result as below

Annotating between image ID 0 and 5:
Processing image Rubish maker from category With PhotoGraphs, image ID 1 >> Skipped
Processing image Malaysia Schumacher no. 1 from category With PhotoGraphs, image ID 5 >> Skipped


Finished!

===========================

But when I goes to my picture nothing change.

Thanks

most likely you don't have gd2 library installed, which means you're not able to use this mod, even with image magic

hello vano/ssl

since gd 2.0 is not support .gif

do u still use GD2.0?
is there another way to use gd2.0 and support the gif? or i must use lower version of gd?

undefined blala...

thanks

[V@no]

I use both IM for .gif and GD2 for the rest. Just did little correction in the 4images code...

[ksk]

i use netpbm before,
but, can u show ur little correction pls hehe  

[V@no]

in /includes/image_utils.php find two times:

Code: [Select]

 $resize_handle = "resize_image_".$convert_options['convert_tool'];
replace both with:

Code: [Select]

 $resize_handle = "resize_image_".(($image_info[2] == 1) ? "im" : $convert_options['convert_tool']);

if you want to get gif support back and have enough rights on your server, i'd suggest to use patched version of gd library, which you can find here

I am really dumb of GD languages!

I had search the website (http://www.rime.com.au/gd/ ) you had provided me. I found a lot of patches download. I really don't dare download which 1 I really need.

Ok. My server have ImageMagick, do not have GD.

So If I wish to run this annotation -water mark mod. I need GD right?

I had found some GD with different name as below

* Patch to add internal GIF support to the Base GD library Version 2.0.12
* A Patched Library with GIF support
* A Patch to add support for the patched GD library back into version 2.041 of Lincoln Stein's GD.pm Perl Module
* A Patched GD.pm V2.041 Perl Module with GIF support

almost every patches have GIF support, I just simply choose once?

Once again, I am dumb of GD.[list=][/list]
