Watermark again...

Hy, i read a lot in this forum about this watermark function on full image downloads.
Zenphoto backend says in the options:

When set, links to the full image will go through intermediate processing that will check for password protection and apply watermarking...

So why it doesn´t work? i´m using default theme...

I tried to use the full.php function from one of the posts somewhere in the forum, but not worky...

    Did you enable watermarking then, too?

    If you are running 1.1.5 or the nightly build, full image display is built in. You need to set the options to protect the image or it will not check the password or watermark the image.

    I set Protect full image:true and Full image download:true, the normal watermarking is false, ´cause i don´t want the watermark showing up at image.php

    @sbillard
    yes, running 1.1.5, default theme

    From what I'm lead to believe there is no 'normal' watermarking in 1.1.5. You either have watermarking or you don't.

    If you have watermark enabled, then by default full-image.php will watermark the images. But that means your normal images will be watermarked as well.

    The 'protect full image' option is so that you don't get a direct link to the image. It has to go through some php script in order to get to the image. It does not mean you get your full image watermarked.

    With 'protect full image' option disabled, you get a link like www.example.com/zenphoto/albums/testalbum/original_full_image.jpg
    If you disable this, all you get is a straight link to the un-retouched original image.

    With 'protect full image' option enabled, you will get a link like www.example.com/zenphoto/index.php?album=testalbum&image=original_full_image.jpg&p=*full-image
    Of course if you do this you also get the benefits of getting your full image watermarked (but only if you enabled that watermark feature) and recompressed (only if you have watermarking otherwise it just does a file output from the original image).

    willimaz is correct. Watermarking is all or nothing. It is possible to modify the themes to not watermark the normal image--Do a search, someone else was attempting to do this. I can't remember exactly the functions you need to use. It has to do with a custom image and the last parameter set to true so no watermark is applied.

    Ok, so i can chose between watermarking them all or nothing, right? coudn´t find the hack for my idea, but some day somebody will realize, i hope ;-)

    thanx at all

    If you want to disable the code to watermark you could also go into the functions-image.php and delete the watermarking code. Of course if you do this you will lose the ability to watermark normal pictures.

    in functions-image.php delete or comment out the code in the 'if ($perform_watermark)' code or put a $perform_watermark=false right before it. Not sure what line it's on anymore because I've hacked this file a couple times but it's towards the end of the file

    Then with watermarking enabled it will only watermark your full image
