Uhm... I also can't get the watermark-feature to work, even though I tried out what was discussed here.
Situation is following:
-Installed the latest coppermine-version today, tested, worked ok.
-Installed the latest version of Stramm's mod, but after configuring the settings, realized that watermark-function doesn't work.
-I switched to english language and used both templates Stramm delivered with the mod to avoid having a non-working template
-I tried both batch upload and single/web upload, after that set the folders and images to 666, 755, 777, didn't work.
-Checked that the path to watermark.png works (chmod to 666, 777 as well), tried absolute and relative path (./images/watermark.png and /home/strato/www/ag/www.xyz.de/htdocs/zero/images/watermark.png) - yes, I'm using Strato as provider.
Means I only have GD1-support. I heard there's a possibility to use GD2 using a .htaccess-file, would this be worth a try? But it should work with GD1...
-I also checked if it's a caching problem, but there's no watermark, whatever I do.
-Tried another batch run with the admin tools, no success.
Currently, I'm clueless. Any advice what else I might try?
Also, another problem I have with the tentacle-template mod, the filmstrip and the exif data isn't displayed properly (only 1 pixel height it seems). Anyone stumbled over this bug? (I didn't change anything in the source code)
Oh and hm, if I'm allowed to ask that question here, too: On Stramm's sandbox, there's kind of a shopping cart/payment mod for purchasing pictures. Is that a public mod or a commercial one? Or asked differently; where may I obtain it?
