Watermark text on only large/medium

09-24-2009, 05:30 PM

Can someone point me to the logic where I could prevent the small icon images from having the watermark text.

We use a very small icon size 80x80 and with the watermark at that size... it isn't completely visible, and over takes the photo so much it is distracting. Large and Medium are fine so don't want to disrupt those watermarks... although increasing the text size or allowing multiple line strings would be nice.

Open up the {root}\wolthuis.aspx.cs file, inside the page_load() method under line 98 or somewhere from there, add an If statement that looks like below.

Code:

if (ImgSize != "icon")
{
    imgPhoto = CommonLogic.AddWatermark(imgPhoto, CopyrightText, CopyrightImage);
}

Excellent... Thanks!

Alfred,

Did the update as you indicated, and all seems to work until you select an image from the multi-image selection... at that time the medium image in the product details reverts to not having a watermark.

Could you tell us what version you're on?

Any more ideas on how to disable watermark only on icon images, yet keep the watermark on medium and large (for multi-images too)?

Code-Behind file: wolthuis.aspx.cs
Event: Page_Load

Code:

                    if (AppLogic.AppConfigBool("Watermark.Enabled") && ImgUrl.IndexOf("nopicture") == -1 && (CopyrightText.Length != 0 || CopyrightImage.Length != 0))
                    {
                    try
                    {
                        if (ImgSize == "icon")
                        {
                            imgPhoto = CommonLogic.AddWatermark(imgPhoto,"", CopyrightImage);
                        }
                        else
                        {
                            imgPhoto = CommonLogic.AddWatermark(imgPhoto, CopyrightText, CopyrightImage);
                        }
                    }

See if that works for you...

I see your logic, and while it seems it should work.. it yeilds the same result.

Let me clarify... this is how we are setup
1) Large, Medium and Icon images like normal are entered only as Large images and auto resized
2) Multiple large images are also added to the Multi-image manager, which also get auto resized
3) it is setup to use the mouse-over function on the product details such that the medium picutre auto updates on mouse-over.
4) We are setup to watermark using text only, not images (for watermark)

With the default code in 8.0.0.0. it watermarks everything...

With the first mod in this thread it works great to eliminate the icon watermarks, and still show the medium and large images with watermarks... but as soon as you do a mouseover on one of the additional images the watermark is gone.

With the additonal else clause as shown in the last post.. the result is exactly the same as without...

I think it must be handling the mouse-over images differently, but the confusing part is when you remove the if all together, everything is watermarked including the mouse-over images... go figure.

Try adding this:

Code:

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.1//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml11/DTD/xhtml11.dtd">

on the template.ascx directive. Let's give this one a shot. Please remember to ensure a backup of everything prior to any change...

Sadly... didn't help.

It did cause a bunch of other CSS problems, but the result with the watermarking was still the same.

1) no watermark on icons (which is good)
2) watermark on medium images on page render (which is good)
3) when mouseover action on micro-images happens watermarks on the medium images displayed are shown without watermark.
4) watermark on all large images (which is good)

Could you provide us a link to that product so that we could clearly see what you mean?
