Image Handler 2 (for ZC v1.3.8 ONLY) Support

Tophand

We were posting at the same time.....

I have not cleared bz cache because I use some of those pics on another site. I was concerned if I cleared cache it would remove those bz cache pics.

I have images set to no_change.......that way I can use both jpg and gif

thanks for responding!

Well, I spoke too soon.

It still doesn't work in the switchplate category.

Last night I had 75 products in that category. I decided to delete them all and delete the category to redesign.

So this morning, I created a new category with a similiar name and entered 4 products. Thats when the popup for the larger image didn't work.

ALL other categories continue to work perfectly (IH). Just not the switchplate category.

I'm thinking when I deleted those 75 products the database got messed up somehow. I have no clue how to view that or fix it.

I'll post back if I find out anything.........

Followup:

After uninstalling and installing multiple times, re-uploading ALL the IH2 files to my server I finally discovered that it all came back to the quirk from this morning.

I had noticed that the new pics did not have the watermark so I went to admin>config>images and saw that SOMEHOW the watermark was set to no. I did not set it to no, it has always been set to yes. I have always used watermark.

What the problem boils down to is:

If I set watermark to yes, pop up large does not work on NEWLY entered products. It works on images that have been the site before today, but no NEW images uploaded.

If I enter a new product and leave the watermark set to no, then the popup on NEW images will enlarge.

If I enter a new product and set the watermark to yes, then the popup to enlarge on NEW images will not load.

I guess I won't be using watermark. I have no clue what the problem is.

I have already re-uploaded all the files in the mod. If there was a problem with a corrupted file that should have fixed it.

If anyone has an idea whats up with the watermark, I'd love to hear it.

Thanks much!
Shirley

How are your linking the images for use on another website?
The images in the bmz_cache folder are created on the fly by IH and they have really long files names (1as2qw123ed456tg567hj34bn.image.101x95.jpg).

On the watermark, have you replace the watermark file in case it is corrupt?

I used to link my pics to another site by getting the bz_cache file name from properties on the large image. The reason I used the bz file was because it was watermarked and that was handy. Yes, the file names are long but worked fine.

But, IH on my site was in an accident and although I got it out of the hospital, it is not working properly. It no longer makes the bz cache file on the fly. It no longer works with watermark. All pics now are reading directly from the images file. bz cache is dead. About all it does is the hover and making the sm, med and large pics.

I can only assume when I deleted 75 products and several categories, something went haywire.

When I have time, I will see what I can do to remove it completely and get it going right again.

And yes, I did re-upload the watermark file. No go.

Why do the image pop-ups push the whole window down, and appear on the background? Maybe it is time to install Lightbox?

Why do the image pop-ups push the whole window down, and appear on the background? Maybe it is time to install Lightbox?Because you haven't installed the javascript and/or the CSS in the right place.

I can't seem to get a second image to show up. The first one shows up with no problems, but the second one won't. I went to tools->image handler2, then navigated to my product, added the extra image which DOES show up on this screen, but when I go to my product page in the cart, there's no second image. How do I get the second image to show up in the actual product listing page?

Following directions to the "T" when installing. Priceless.

A link always help us help you.

Have you check to see that you have additional images turned on?
What template?

M

I have the same problem. Already checked that additional images are actives. They appear correctly in IH Manager, but they're not in the info product page.
No message errors anyway...

Well... 1 out of 3....
A link to your site helps us help you.
What template are you using?

M

You're right Tophand, but I'm still developing locally, no public site for now. I'm using "Darkness" template customized.

I fixed my own problem. It was installed correctly, but I had one image as a .jpg and one as a .gif and apparently, they need to be the same file type or it doesn't work.

I dont know where to go in the forum for this problem.
Can anyone tell me why the top category image in the listing page does not come out?
Thanks

Are you naming the images correctly?

Main product image:
shoe.jpgAdditional images (need to be in with shoe.jpg):
shoe_01.jpg
shoe_02.jpg
shoe_03.jpg

During the set up of my Store, I turned off IH2 so that I can replace the already watermarked images with clean ones, so that IH2 can do the work for me in a more proficient way.

I turned IH2 back on and cannot view the watermark on MED or LRG images.

Permissions are set as per the instructions, the watermark PNG's are there.

In admin, I did select Watermarks for bot MED and LRG images.

Was there something I missed?

I have both Image Handler 2 and fual Slimlight Box installed on an zcart 1.3.8a.

I cannot seem to get the rollover feature to work on the small images. Are these mods compatible with each other, or is the slimlight box not allowing the setting for the smalle image zoom to work?

I have seached and cannot find where to put the shopad folder, as the documentation does not mention where to upload, or if its even needed. Is this maybe why I cannot get the small images to to expand when rolled ove?

Last question:
Where do I set the size for the small, medium, and large files? I don't think imagemagick is installed, so is it safe to assume that whatever size I create the images in Photoshop will be what is uploaded.

Thanks for any clarification, the awnser is probably obvious
