sulelew Posted September 25, 2006 Share Posted September 25, 2006 I think i have the same problem as you... i think it's the php coding, but i?m not a php wizzard.. Do you know where i can find the modified code to add to general.php ? Thnxz your help. This is from his intructions from the readme file in the zip. Step #5 - In: catalog/admin/includes/functions/general.php Just before the ?> at the very end of this file add the following: function tep_cfg_readonly($value){ $single[]= array('id' => $value, 'text' => $value); return tep_draw_pull_down_menu('configuration_value', $single, $value); } function tep_cfg_pull_down_installed_fonts($font_name) { if ($root=@opendir(DIR_FS_DOCUMENT_ROOT.'includes/imagemagic/fonts')){ while ($file=readdir($root)){ if($file=="." || $file==".." || is_dir($dir."/".$file)) continue; $files[]= array('id' => $file, 'text' => $file); } } return tep_draw_pull_down_menu('configuration_value', $files, $font_name); } function tep_cfg_pull_down_installed_watermarks($watermark_name) { if ($root=@opendir(DIR_FS_DOCUMENT_ROOT.'includes/imagemagic/watermarks')){ while ($file=readdir($root)){ if($file=="." || $file==".." || is_dir($dir."/".$file)) continue; $files[]= array('id' => $file, 'text' => $file); } } return tep_draw_pull_down_menu('configuration_value', $files, $watermark_name); } function tep_cfg_pull_down_watermark_alignment($watermark_alignment) { $align[]= array('id' => 'Tiled', 'text' => 'Tiled'); $align[]= array('id' => 'Top', 'text' => 'Top'); $align[]= array('id' => 'Top Left', 'text' => 'Top Left'); $align[]= array('id' => 'Top Right', 'text' => 'Top Right'); $align[]= array('id' => 'Center', 'text' => 'Center'); $align[]= array('id' => 'Bottom', 'text' => 'Bottom'); $align[]= array('id' => 'Bottom Left', 'text' => 'Bottom Left'); $align[]= array('id' => 'Bottom Right', 'text' => 'Bottom Right'); return tep_draw_pull_down_menu('configuration_value', $align, $watermark_alignment); } I hope I did that right an it doesnt screw up the page.

GemRock Posted September 26, 2006 Share Posted September 26, 2006 (edited) I can't figure out how imagemagic would be able to protect copyright by adding watermark (image or text) while showing the image. Does anyone have any thought about this, or has it been discussed before?

GemRock Posted September 26, 2006 Share Posted September 26, 2006 (edited) you can it it in action here: there is a watermark in my poroduct info popups images: www.thefrenchybee.com Thank you for the link. A great site! wonder what contribs you use on your site, those related to site layout? Do you really believe your images are fully protected from saving on someone's pc without the watermark, if they want to? As I'm already able to save a few (just for test, no use for me! :) ). I have tried the methods (no right click etc), but so far my conclusion is no worth the time/trouble. And if you disable js, then no images would show on product_info pages.

As I'm already able to save a few (just for test, no use for me! :) ). Ken I use more than 80 mods on this store, the list is long... Regarding layout design, it's a "in house" design (a lot of work in the product_info.php) so it's not available "out of the box, sorry) And I do not believe in image full protection :-), since these non-watermaked images are also available by looking at the source and removing the imagemagic parameters from the URLs... but not everyone knows that :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GemRock Posted September 26, 2006 Share Posted September 26, 2006 (edited) I use more than 80 mods on this store, the list is long... My god, 80 mods! Sounds like a rocket engineering :) ! I am not making comments on your site, but just out of curiocity: why on your home page the right column is about 100px out of the screen, while any other pages are just the right size, and it appears this is very easy to fix? Anyone else has other imagemagic show case? I would like to see a bullet-proof image protection site.

Ken Because the elastic layout is constrained by the width of the big image on the home page (I am too lazy - and to busy - to resize it.) All other pages can flow on pretty small screens because they can shrink, as opposed to the home page. For a better level of image protection, do a REAL watermark in your images, called DIGIMARC (http://www.digimarc.com/comm/images.asp), when you create your images with photoshop. This will embed some invisible pattern in your images, like a signature, and is trackable . Somebody steals your image, this serice is able to tell you who uses your image. Its a fee based service.

GemRock Posted September 27, 2006 Share Posted September 27, 2006 (edited) For a better level of image protection... Thank Hugh, I knew that one and other tricks, but thats not what I am interested in. I am only interested in how far could imagemagic go to protect a copyrighted image. So far I am of the view that it is not very much useful as compared with its image resizing feature (smaller dumbnails). btw, your site could enter osc's guinness record for the number of mods :-)! (if there's one).

squeekit Posted September 27, 2006 Share Posted September 27, 2006 I am only interested in how far could imagemagic go to protect a copyrighted image.i agree with pixclinic's statement "I do not believe in image full protection :-)" - i have had many clients ask me about just this - i always talk them into avoiding such and explain that a site design that intergrates images with non-invasive watermarks that incorperates the site's domain name is actualy like free advertising if such images get "gleaned" - i go on to explain all that's involved in the protection of images while pointing out that doing such not only isn't worth the effort but also reduce the much desired 'word of mouth' advertising (which is always 100% free). so with that being said, i have had a great interest in this too - for mere curiousity's sake... as far as your question > beyond the watermark, it does not seem to me that imagemagic adds any other means of "image security" At A Glance / Some Considerations (some random thoughts) --- last thing first (in theory stage): i have yet to explore this but since the final base method of gleaning images would involve a simple screenshot then i would imagine that such can be avoided by actually using single framed (or very short / non moving) video - embedding of certain video formats will display it's image on the page, but will not appear in screenshots --- [ this makes me wonder about the use of a custom DTD > perhaps that can be made to get actual images (jpg, png, etc) not to appear in screenshots like video ] most overlooked: i find that even when sites go to great efforts to 'secure' their images they most often overlook the "Temporary Internet Folder" or cache - for that matter - even 'hotlinking' gets over looked - but the inclusion of simple meta tags that erase the page from a user's computer's "memory" the instant it finishes loading can address this issue - as well, hotlinking can be easily addressed too... page linking: (possibly through 'oncontextmenu>>disable' etc.) even if a page's source is rendered inaccessible (sometimes frames can help do this) a user can still make for themself's a custom html that links to a page with "desired image" and then use "save target as" on the page they made and save the source to their computer for source inspection - so in a sense, being that OSC is php you have a jump start to avoid this issue... the fact is server side scripting (such as php) might be the best way to protect images (other than that old simple screenshot method) - an extreme example would/could be that the php generated html only uses clear gifs, but the php reads the page and image local, etc to place desired image behind the clear gif using the php which the user will never see via css 'background' or layers perhaps - consider even a css can be dynamic. Anyhow: the list of considerations goes on and on and on (i'm only getting started) - but i believe it's possible to secure images near 100% - but undesired, for once again, doing such may possibly only cause disatisfaction for visitors - you might want to consider a form of "samples" instead of intergration of "important images"...

Guest Posted September 27, 2006 Share Posted September 27, 2006 (edited) I could also add, that part of a good image protection program is a courtesy phone call to the "borrower". It often works, I've done it several times:"product image photography on this site totalizes a five figure pricetag, how would you would like to be billed?" And a good lawyer is not a stupid idea to consider as a last recourse to take action if you don't feel heard.

If this guy is not familiar with the OscComm struture, he might spend days looking for this, and it takes 10 seconds for an experienced coder. This is maybe what he's looking for and not learning css, which took me more than a day before I master it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kjolebutikken Posted September 30, 2006 Share Posted September 30, 2006 Hi, I installed yesterday the "on the fly automatic thumbnailer using gd for ms.2.2". Today I saw this contribution. I have two questions: Can I install this also without installing the other first? Also I noticed that when I click on my images on the frontpage (new products of the month), I get the whole url for the icon_newarrival.gif that I use, only when I click on the products image. When I click on the new arrival image, I get the correct url (ny, which is new in norwegian). It looks like this: http://www.kjolebutikken.com/oscdemo1/includes/languages/norwegian/images/buttons/icon_newarrival.gif What is supposed to show when clicking on the products image is the title of the product. I have installed the "Search friendly URL v.1.10" contr. and I have also installed the "New products icon v.1.0." contr. I'm not sure which gives me this problem, but I did not notice it before installing the thumbnail creator. I would very much like to install this image magic contr., but I would much appreciate it if someone here could answer me about my problems mentioned above first :-) Thank you so much. Here is url to mits if you want to take a look: http://www.kjolebutikken.com/oscdemo1/index.php Best regards Kjolebutikken Quote Best regards Kjolebutikken Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
