    Legacy syntax how would i watermark a date with a comma in it?

    Feedback for ImageProcessor

    First off... LOVE that this is part of the core...

    i am in a 7.18 site... so using legacy syntax... and i want to add a date "February 15, 2015" to an image... with the comma separated syntax, how do i do that?

    thanks,

    Hi Bob,

    Did you try URL encoding your text ?

    Hi Bob,

    I'm afraid you can't.. Dave, I'm 99% sure I urldecoded before manipulating the parameters in old versions which was daft of me so that won't work.

    The old syntax had restrictions on what kinds of characters you could pass through. One of the many, many reason I wrote the new parser.

    I may be wrong but I'm fairly certain that if you edit your locally stored Umbraco package file nuspec embedded in the core .nupkg file you can trick Nuget into allowing you to update past the version restriction.

    Cheers

    James

    okay, the upgrade appears to have worked... because it now accepts the new syntax... HOWEVER, still no comma... even when used as 

    February+15%2C+2015 -- any thoughts?

    I just tested the string against the test website on Github without issue.

    I used February 15, 2015 in the url which the browser automatically encoded to February%2015,%202015

    The entire url was as follows:

    localhost:9001/images/format-Penguins.png?width=300&watermark=February 15, 2015&color=fff&fontsize=48&fontstyle=italic&fontopacity=100&textposition=100,100&dropshadow=true&font=arial

    Oh hold on

    By "this package" you mean the one on here that I haven't updated in ages?

    Yeah that won't work...

    I'll update it asap.

    Well normally via Nuget...

    I've updated the package file hosted here so you should be able to install it via that method now.

    Let me know how you get on.
