Image Handler 3 Support Thread (for ZC v1.3.9)

[DivaVocals]

Impressive posts!

Just wanted to add, that there was some documentation online at the old breakmyzencart site. I didn't download the new version so forgive me, if the info is already contained in the new documentation readme. The above site might be obsolete now but maybe there is some useful example.

Cheers
Tim

As I have stated in my previous posts leading up to this release, I have already incorporated all of the documentation from your old site into the new readme.. Some of it is obsolete, but the relevant portions needed to be included into the readme docs (and they were -- some word for word)..

I wanted to avoid the confusion of sending people to your old site because we've had folks download things from there before and come here seeking help with an outdated version of Image Handler.. (hence why we reconciled the relevant information with the previous versions of the readme)

Is IH3 work good in flash site? For first time user, is better to install IH3 directly, or use IH2 first?

Dunno what your first question means.. Are you talking about using FLASH animations as product images??

As for your second question, in my experience I always install the latest and greatest STABLE version..

On another note, posting questions on BOTH support forums is kinda unproductive.. Asking the SAME question about two versions of the SAME software which are largely the same BASE code is redundant.. Please pick a version, download it, and read the readme for BOTH versions (or skip to the changelog of the latest to see what changed) and post your question in the appropraite support thread..

Also you might consider creating a test store and installing Image Handler so you can test it out for yourself.. You'll have a MUCH better sense about what Image Handler does if you install it, and use the readme as a guide to help you configure and use the add-on..

Sounds like invalid characters in your image names.. Re-check that you image names do not include spaces or invalid characters.

I've just upgraded to IH3 on ZC 139H. I have no trouble uploading an image for a product.
Is there a way for IH3 to save the many images that I need to upload in their unique folders other than the images folder my main site directory? I just want to better organize my images once they are on my main site.
thanks

From page 1 of this support thread (and included in the readme as well):
http://www.zen-cart.com/forum/showpo...71&postcount=3

Short answer?? IH3 will not create your image folders for you.. You will need to create your image folder structure (via your FTP tool).. You can upload the additional images via FTP is your like.. So long as they are named correctly so that Zen Cart knows they are additional images, IH3 will optimize those images as well with no additonal action required on your part..

Again, re-read all the information in the readme if you need information on how to make this happen.. (which is repeated on page 1 of this support thread) We've provided LOTS of useful information and reference links to help answer all your image planning questions..

Hi, Just uploaded IH3 and works perfectly. Being a nubie I do have a question-- is it ok to load product images through the IH3 interface instead of using ftp to the main db? The images wont be lost during a backup will they? I think what I am trying to ask is when loaded through the interface, the images are stored on the server right?

You are very correct Tony...
