I've been attempting to add watermarks to my images, following the answer listed in watermark with paperclip :
Watermark.rb:
module Paperclip class Watermark < Processor # Handles watermarking of images that are uploaded. attr_accessor :current_geometry, :target_geometry, :format, :whiny, :convert_options, :watermark_path, :watermark_offset, :overlay, :position def initialize file, options = {}, attachment = nil super geometry = options[:geometry] @file = file @crop = geometry[-1,1] == '#' @target_geometry = Geometry.parse geometry @current_geometry = Geometry.from_file @file @convert_options = options[:convert_options] @whiny = options[:whiny].nil? ? true : options[:whiny] @format = options[:format] @watermark_path = options[:watermark_path] @position = options[:position].nil? ? "SouthEast" : options[:position] @watermark_offset = options[:watermark_offset] @overlay = options[:overlay].nil? ? true : false @current_format = File.extname(@file.path) @basename = File.basename(@file.path, @current_format) end # TODO: extend watermark # Returns true if the +target_geometry+ is meant to crop. def crop? @crop end # Returns true if the image is meant to make use of additional convert options. def convert_options? not @convert_options.blank? end # Performs the conversion of the +file+ into a watermark. Returns the Tempfile # that contains the new image. def make dst = Tempfile.new([@basename, @format].compact.join(".")) dst.binmode if watermark_path command = "composite" params = %W[-gravity #{@position}] params += %W[-geometry '#{@watermark_offset}'] if @watermark_offset params += %W['#{watermark_path}' '#{fromfile}'] params += transformation_command params << "'#{tofile(dst)}'" else command = "convert" params = ["'#{fromfile}'"] params += transformation_command params << "'#{tofile(dst)}'" end begin Paperclip.run(command, params.join(' ')) rescue ArgumentError, Cocaine::CommandLineError raise PaperclipError, "There was an error processing the watermark for #{@basename}" if @whiny end dst end def fromfile File.expand_path(@file.path) end def tofile(destination) File.expand_path(destination.path) end def transformation_command scale, crop = @current_geometry.transformation_to(@target_geometry, crop?) trans = %W[-resize '#{scale}'] trans += %W[-crop '#{crop}' +repage] if crop trans << convert_options if convert_options? trans end end end
and model code:
has_attached_file :image, :processors => [:watermark], :styles => { :large => "640x480", :thumb => "100x100", :medium => "300x300", :content => { :geometry => '150x153', :watermark_path => Rails.root.join('app/assets/images/watermark.jpg'), :position => 'SouthWest' }, }, dependent: :allow_destroy
I've attempted to update this to work with Rails 4 (moving attr_accessor to params in the model), but I get the error:
uninitialized constant Paperclip::Watermark::PaperclipError
Any tips on how to get implement watermarks in a rails 4 app?
UPDATE: I was able to get past the uninitialized constant error with Graeme's suggestion below of changing:
raise PaperclipError, "There was an error processing the watermark for #{@basename}" if @whiny
to:
raise Paperclip::Error.new("There was an error processing the watermark for #{@basename}") if @whiny
I also had to remove the following from the model in order for the upload to process:
:url => "/images/:style/:id_:style.:extension", :path => ":rails_root/app/assets/images/:style/:id_:style.:extension"
I don't understand what the purpose of :url and :path are in this scenario, when users are uploading images?
The problem is, even though the images now get uploaded, no watermark is being displayed. Thoughts?
Update 2: In order to get the watermark displaying correctly, I had to change the model to:
has_attached_file :image, :processors => [:watermark], :url => "/system/:class/:attachment/:id_partition/:style/:filename", :path => ":rails_root/public/system/:class/:attachment/:id_partition/:style/:filename", :styles => { :large => "640x480", :thumb => "100x100", :medium => { :processors => [:watermark], :geometry => '300x300', :watermark_path => Rails.root.join('app/assets/images/icon.gif'), :position => 'SouthWest' }, }, dependent: :allow_destroy
The key piece was removing :content => . Only remaining issue is that the watermark is scaling up to fit the entire width of the image. Any recommendations on how to stop the watermark-scaling?
