I got an error. Also screenshoots would be helpfull.

Hello 3×7,

This error is caused by the fact, that you are using PHP lower than 5.3. In plugin version 0.2 I used some code structures introduced in PHP 5.3 so older PHP versions simply don’t understand the code. But I realised, that most virtual servers still have PHP 5.2 as a default version, so I’m going to give up all the benefits of PHP 5.3 and make it more compatibilile. Please try to install the next version which should appear tomorrow or the day after.

About the screenshots: I have uploaded some images but they did not appeared on the plugin page. Now I’m trying to figure out, why this is so.

It’s possibile to set position of watermark. Please, see the FAQ section.

Thanx for your suggestion, I will implement that. For now this plugin adds watermark only to fullsize images, but I’m creating it for my own and the current version doesn’t satisfy me at all, so you can be pretty sure that it’ll become a powerful tool after few upgrades.

szaleq

Thanks for quick support…

I’m also looking for a solution to optimize the image from few MB to smaller size while uploading, so having this implemented as a feature in your plugin might be a great deal…

Cheers!

I think that this feature you mentioned would be really useful. And now I consider creating a separate plugin for image optimalisation (including auto-resizing and changing jpeg quality “in the fly”). If my plan comes to fruition I’ll let you now.

szaleq

Yes this would be great, there are several plugins for resizing, optimizing etc, just like for watermarking… but having it all in one would be perfect solution to many users…

Cheers!

While activating the plugin, I got the same error error :
Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_STATIC in www/WordPress/wp-content/plugins/easy-watermark/lib/EWPlugin.php on line 47

Following instructions given in a previous post, I switched PHP from version 5.2 to 5.3. Plugin is now active but I still have errors showing on top of admin page (3 times):
Warning: array_merge() [function.array-merge]: Argument #2 is not an array in www/WordPress/wp-content/plugins/easy-watermark/lib/EasyWatermarkSettings.php on line 84

I also got this error on the settings page :
Warning: extract() expects parameter 1 to be array, null given in www/WordPress/wp-content/plugins/easy-watermark/lib/EasyWatermarkSettings.php on line 256

Any idea of what’s going wrong ?

Best regards

Hi Regis B,

The first error is probably caused by some non-standard configuration on your server. Is it gone after switching php version?

This error prevented registering activation hook which is a function called when activating plugin. In this function plugin default settings are entered into the database. It didn’t happen and this is the reason of the next errors (settings are empty so it couldn’t be merged or extracted). Please try to remove the plugin and install it again, then let me know if the first error has occurred. If so, I’ll try to improve the code to make it working for you. But if not, it should already work correctly.

Regards

BTW, it isn’t the same error. In original topic there was a problem with T_STRING, and you have some issue with T_STATIC ?? The error from user 3×7 only occurred in the plugin version 0.2. This problem with compatibility was completely eliminated.

However, if your php 5.3 has a standard configuration (unlike 5.2, that’s possible), it should work.

Hi,

Thanks for your quick answer.

The T_STATIC error occurs while trying to activate the plugin with php 5.2. The plugin can’t be activated actually.

After switching to php 5.3, plugin activation is ok. The T_STATIC error is gone. But the array_merge() warnings appear.

I suppose my php configuration is standard. It’s provided by my web hoster (OVH.net, very popular in France) and I haven’t changed anything on it…

Regis

Ok, but have you tried to remove and install the plugin after switching php version? I explained, that all this errors are caused by the fact, that plugin installation failed. You shouldn’t get this errors after new installation, if te T_STATIC error didn’t occurred.
Otherwise, maybe there is some mess in the database after this invalid installation. If you can see the Easy Watermark Settings page, try to do some settings and save it, so your settings should override this mess and errors should disapear. (But first reinstall the plugin if you haven’t already done so)

Hi szaleq,

Good news !

So I’ve tried to remove and install the plugin with php 5.3 version. The warnings are still here.

Then, saving some settings in the Easy Watermark Settings page actually solved the problem and everything works fine now.

Thanks for your time.
Great plugin !

Best Regards,

Regis

Hi,
I encounter the following errror when i activate the plugin. Can you shed me some lights?

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected ‘}’ in /var/www/html/wp-content/plugins/easy-watermark/lib/EasyWatermarkPlugin.php on line 536

Hello,

I had the same error when I tried to run this plugin on windows (despite the fact that the code is valid). Does your server run windows? If not, some information about your PHP configuration would be helpful (can you send me the result of the phpinfo() function? If you don’t know what it is, I can give you some instructions).

I made the new version of this plugin today and by the way I changed few things around this line that caused your error so maybe it will work now. Please, try to install the latest version.

Regards

Hi szaleq,

Many thanks for your response. I just tried an it prompt the same error but just different line number.

Plugin could not be activated because it triggered a fatal error.

I am running Linux in AWS. Here is the phpinfo

Grateful if you can give further advise. Many thanks! : )

Hello,

I still have no idea why this error has occurred, it should work. I have not found anything in your phpinfo. But I probably know what causes this error, think I could make it work. The file with error has been updated, please try to download this plugin again.

If anything does not work, please let me know. Your information helps me make this plugin more compatible and available for a larger number of users so I am grateful for that.

Regards

Hi szaleq,
I am highly impressed by your attitude! : )
Just tried again, unfortunately, it still run into the same errors with line number 539.
I checked my apache error log, it showed a PHP Parse error. Hope this give you more hints.
