There was a post in the forums before the Crash that talked about displaying an image over another image.

I would like to know about this as I playing around with having a selectable field that the user can change the status of their ads, either For Sale or Sold - and if sold is selected it will display a Sold.gif over the top of their photo's.

Anyone done this or ideas on how to ...

You could probably accomplish this either by using css and layers with the z-index or through php by using gd to overlay the image on top. I haven't messed with either enough to really point you in the right direction.

I had posted a mod that added watermarks to images when they were uploaded. This was more than just displaying an image over the top of another though. This actually used GD during the upload section of the script and merged 2 images together, your uploaded image and you watermark.

Since you want the "sold" indicator to appear based on an "extra" field the user has access to the images will already be uploaded so using the CSS z-index I think would probably be the best approach for this.
