Hi there, like the title said, i try to put a watermark on my images, but with no success... I put : $handle->image_watermark = 'path to the watermark' in com_k2 > models > item.php where my small image is handle, but its a fail, no watermark at all. Anyone have a clue ?

I think i'm sadly the only one who try this :/
This is very strange, when i add a reflection ( $handle->image_reflection_height = '25%';) it work
when i add rotate or crop ($handle->image_rotate = 90; $handle->image_crop = array(50,40,30,20);) it work, there were only the watermark who doesn't work...

Did you find an answer?

You have to put in the full path to your watermark.png.

$handle->image_watermark '/home/{user}/public_html/...../watermark.png' if you are on a linux server.

Could you explain a little bit more that ? I am trying to get it to work with Wamp (Windows).
Tried everything but it wont work.

I'm have a debian server, so you should ask someone else. I use the complete base path.

 

Put $handle->image_watermark = 'path to the watermark' in administrator > components > com_k2 > models > item.php

 

So you get something like this:

around line 213;

 

 

                //XLarge image



                //location of the watermark

                $handle->image_watermark = '/home/*************/public_html/images/stories/watermark/watermark_xl.png';



                //position of the watermark

                $handle->image_watermark_position = 'BR';  



                $handle->image_resize = true;

                $handle->image_ratio_y = true;

                $handle->image_convert = 'jpg';

                $handle->jpeg_quality = $params->get('imagesQuality');

                $handle->file_auto_rename = false;

                $handle->file_overwrite = true;

                $handle->file_new_name_body = $filename.'_XL';

                if (JRequest::getInt('itemImageXL')) {

                    $imageWidth = JRequest::getInt('itemImageXL');

                } else {

                    $imageWidth = $params->get('itemImageXL', '800');

                }

                $handle->image_x = $imageWidth;

                $handle->Process($savepath);

 

Developers did something in new 2.5 SVN version.

Regarding watermark and images crop options.

 

So, it should be easy now. Just to make it to settings in xml files. :)

Any idea what the watermark setting is in 2.5SVN? I cannot find anything about this in my install...

There is nothing in settings. Search forum how to fix it in files.

There is already a fix in this thread which works perfectly well, I asked you to elaborate on your quote below as you seem to imply that something has been changed to make it simpler. How can you make statements like this, if you do not know the changes yourself?
