Image Manager addon

[boudewijn]

How about the watermark position by setting with top, bottom, center and vertical? all with adjustable margin, if possible?

Thanks a lot for your advise and specially your time. IM is the best ZC and user friendly.

Thank you!

Actually I finished what you ask for just a few minutes ago. Except for the 'vertical'. I cannot imagine what extra option that would be. Can you help me out?

One more thing, I deleted watermarked medium and large images from IM, and copy again from small image(no watermark) to medium and large image, the watermarked images come back. I checked the original image on sever is not watermarked.

How to copy from IM without watermark?

As long as the watermark.png files are present, IM will watermark all copied medium and large images. So if you want medium/large without watermark, you have to remove those watermark.png files.

If you already did, and the images with watermark still appear in your shop, then it's a caching problem in your browser. Which can be, if zen-lightbox is used, quite persistent.

If you already did, and the images with watermark still appear in Image Manager, then I need some good drinks and thinking to figure out how that is possible....

Got it, by removing watermark.png.
Thanks!

Vertical is useful specially in some other languages I think.

BTW, how we can get what you done? we can wait til vertical is included.

thanks!!

Actually it doesn't matter if a watermark is vertical or horizontal. For IM it's just an image that has to be placed somewhere on another image.
For now, you can select one of nine positions (top/middle/bottom x left/middle/right) and for the not middle options also the margins from the edge. And of course the relative size of the watermark, compared with the image width of the target image.
I think that makes it possible to get any watermark in any size at any position on the image.

I would be glad if you are willing to test the new version before I put it online. If you are, can you send me a private message with the e-mail address where I can send the zip?

Thanks

Hi Ray,

Thanks! It confirms what I already feared: the DIR_WS_CATALOG is not included in the link to the picture.

As you already mentioned, this will not cause problems if the shop is in the webroot, but if it's in a folder under the webroot, it will cause the red crosses to appear.

A fix will be included in the next release of IM.
If any user cannot wait, I can publish the 4 lines of code for that fix.

Enjoy your weekend too!

Hello, My shop is located in mysite.com/shop. Is there any possibility of getting these 4 lines of code? I am not in any major hurry, and can wait a few days if you are releasing another version of IM.

Hi, my product images are now starting to get index in google. This is great! i sell art so my products can be found now. Before non were listed using IH2 as uhfgry6df86d8f76g7d6f78d87d87fd897g.jpg means nothing to google.

Thank you.

Hi Ray,

Thanks for your feedback!
That was exactely the reason why I quit IH2, reverted back to the way Zen-Cart handles images and developed IM on that existing structure.
