Hi there,

first of all: Great gallery system. I tried several systems, and was an user of another system for a long time, but at least Zenphoto fits my needs perfectly! So thanks for this!

But here is my problem: I want to watermark all of my images, this works, but i dont want to give access by replacing

http://example.com/albumname/image.jpg.htm?p=*full-image

with

http://example.com/albums/albumname/image.jpg

Therefore i created an .htaccess file with a very simple rule

`Order Deny,Allow

Deny from all

Allow from 127.0.0.1`

which works perfect, but there is a problem while using images lower sized than the max image size setting (Options -> image display -> Image size). By whatever it does, it does not create a cached version (including the watermark already) of this image, and therefore i get a "403 - forbidden", because, it wants to use the actual image as preview.

The according part of my skin for the images previews is

``

My question is: What do i have to change, that the system will ALWAYS generate a cached version, and NEVER delivers the actual image?

This is just a quick look/suggestion, so it might not work.

in i.php you will find some code
` // If the requested image is the same size or larger than the original, redirect to it.

if (!$upscale && $newh >= $h && $neww >= $w && !$crop) {

  header("Location: " . getAlbumFolder(FULLWEBPATH) . pathurlencode($album) . "/" . rawurlencode($image));

  return;

}`

I believe that if you just delete this you will get the image cached/watermarked. However, it may also get resized. I will look more into this.

Perhaps you should keep the if statement and replace the header and return with $newh = $h; $neww=$w;

I have tried this change and it works. It also fixes a problem, so I will add it to the release, should be in tonight's build.

Well, as a first, crude, hack, it works partially It will resize the image to the max width value, and only delivers the resized version (which is upscaled) resized via HTML to the actual file measurements, if i remove the statement.

If i just remove its contents and replace it with $newh = $h; $neww=$w;, it works like charm!

Thanks. Maybe you could make it an option in the next final version?

Btw: Is there a reason, i dont understand, that the watermark is in the bottom right corner (0,0 from bottom right) at the preview image, and at the botom right corner _plus_a_fewpixels (20,20 from bottom right) in the full image?

I don't know of a reason. What would you like for the positioning?

dream I'd like define the position by myself by selecting a combination of the "base positions" (top, left, right, bottom, center; i.e.: top-left oder bottom-center). the padding to the edge of the image should be 0 pixels. if i want to have a padding, i'd like to create my watermark according to the padding i want ... well, you asked for what i want

in real i'd be happy with a consistent positioning in the full image and the preview, somewhat around 10 pixels padding (because the 10 pixels are fit to my design g)

How about an offset from the top left. That will be in tonight's build. You will be able to specify a percentage of the "space" available for the watermark. 0% is top left, 100% is bottom right.

And, the positioning will be the same for full image.

Well, this sounds nice. Im not a nightly fan, but if this is in the nex final, i can wait Thanks!

Edit (why cant i edit my previous post?): I changed my mind! The new nightly rocks! Thanks!
