i would like to write some dynamic text into images using imagemagicks convert or the respecitve ezimagemanager function.
the text is coming from some fields of a customized "product" class and should show up inside the image.

for example: the product number and product name.

i checked out ezimagemanager but it seems that i would have to generate a new rule for every single image as the text is dynamic (parameter based).

does anyone have a clue how to realize this?

Hi,

look at http://ez.no/ez_publish/documentation/development/libraries/ez_template/operators/image_handling
this example:

{image("church",
       imagefile('var/cache/texttoimage/church.jpg'),
       array('Exponential'|texttoimage,
             hash(transparency,0.8,
                  halign,right,
                  valign,top)))}

You can take the background image (e.g. your product image) dynamically and take the text out of database like this 

{$node.name|wash|texttoimage(arial)}

Greetings ekke
