How do you watermark a large image?

First of all, let me say, I really love zen cart and all the wonderful things it can do. This forum has helped me fix many small problems, which I am very thankful. Thanks to all.

Now for the problem that I can not find an answer to. Believe me I have searched and searched for days.

I need to watermark the large image that is produced when you click on the "larger image" on the product info page.

I do have installed:
zen cart 1.38
image handler 2
zen lightbox
cherry zen template

I know that image handler 2 watermarks images and it works on the small and medium images if I choose to have it do so. All watermark images are in the proper folders. IH2 and ZL both work as they should.

The problem is, the product info image and the "larger image" do not run through the image handler. That is as far as any answer on this board has gone, it just stops short of telling you what to do about it.

I either need to know how to change the product info image and
"larger image" links so that it will run through image handler or how to get the images that are coming out of "images" to be watermarked.

The type of business that this will be needs to have the larger image watermarked for my protection. You can look at the test site. They are all just test images.

Any help would be greatly appreciated and I think others will be thankful for the answer also.

Thanks

Re: How do you watermark a large image?

It doesn't appear that your images are being processed by IH2, so I assume it's zen lightbox. IH2 is in use on the Holzheimer and Fan Odyssey sites in my sig and you can see that the watermarking is being displayed. I'd say see if there's a support thread for zen lightbox.

How did you get your product info page to display the image coming from IH2? Did you have to rewrite the link for the image? All the other images on the site run through IH2, just the product info page image and larger image part doesn't.

Re: How do you watermark a large image?

I didn't rewrite anything. I'm guessing that zen lightbox is what's interfering, but it's only a guess. I've never used that, so I'm not sure. I'm sure there's someone around who's more familiar with both add-ons who can give better info.

Do you have watermark_LRG.png (I think it's png) in your images/large folder?

Re: How do you watermark a large image?

Yes, there is a "watermark_LRG.png" in my images folder. The size is 150x67.

Could the size have something to do with it?

Re: How do you watermark a large image?

The watermark_LRG.png on the Holzheimer site is 200x200, so your image isn't too large.

My only suggestions are

  1. find someone familiar with Zen Lightbox and ask them for help. Check the support thread at http://www.zen-cart.com/forum/showthread.php?t=45314
  2. remove Zen Lightbox since I think it might be interferring with IH2.
