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

I'm updating my site to 1.3.8a and IH2 is the only thing I've installed on it so far. It works great when viewing using firefox but when using IE some of the images zoom and some don't and a message appears at the bottom of the browser saying "Error on Page" after you try to zoom in on one of the images which won't work.

Does anyone know what's causing this or how to fix it?

You can see the problem here http://www.medievalmatters.com/update

Thanks!

Never mind, I found the solution on post #1632 of this thread.

Everything magically just started working again. All I did was keep re-uploading files and reinstalling, and after the 3rd time it worked. WEIRD!

Really? Even after clearing the cache? Good to hear.

That's what I have done and still the large images are not watermarked.

For future reference:

You should include the jscript folder inside your YOUR_TEMPLATE template folder ... not just the default template folder.

I have installed IH2 for ZC 1.3 and can't get the hover to work on all the images. It seems to work for some but not others and I can't figure out what the difference between the images is.
I do not have a hotspot so the entire images should cause the effect.
Is this a browser specific feature as I'm not using IE or FF.
To see what I mean, please look at robertensing.com
Also can't get the watermark to show on any of the images.
I'm using the latest IH2 file that I could find but in the documents it mentions it's an update, am I missing some base files?

Regards
Robert

Is this a browser specific feature as I'm not using IE or FF.The images zoom fine for me in FF, but in IE they only zoom when there is enough space for the zoomed image to show below original image. And since most of your images are huge, that doesn't happen very often. This may be the problem in the browser you're using too (it would have been helpful to tell us which one).

There is a small javascript fix for this earlier in this thread.

However, if you're going to use such huge images, then a lightbox approach might be better.

Sorry, I use Maxthon 2.0.6

Thanks, the JS solved the issue.

Question...my extra pictures have the same background as the background to my store. I would prefer them to have a white background. My image handler configuraton is set to have a white background but the store's background is what shows up. How do I fix it to have a white background behind the extra pictures.

You can see an example of the problem from this listing:

What is the image supposed to be? It appears fine in FF ...

It's the background that's the problem...not the image itself. The background behind the images should be all white when someone clicks on them to make them bigger, instead it is the same black and white scroll pattern that's behind my store. How do I make the background BEHIND the image when someone clicks to make it bigger all white?

I re-installed IH2 for 1.3 and can't get ANY of the images to show a watermark.

Any ideas anyone?

Thanks in advance.

This issue has been resolved. Seems that when I set the bmz_cached folder to the same permissions as my images folder, I didn't realize that 755 was not good enough. I got an error to nite that my images folder was not writable so I changed both to 777 and now they show watermark and at the same timer don't show those humungus images that causes issue earlier for which I put in an updated JS file.

Thanks again folks.
Enjoy the rest of your Hollidays.

I realize that IH2 is still in development being improved upon all the time.

I cannot for the life of me get any part of IH2 to work anymore.

The JS is in all 3 template folders, the BMZ is the same chmod as the image folder, all parts are where they need to be, the ankle bone is connected to the leg bone, etc.

Would someone please take a look at my site and see if any part of IH2 is working?:onfire:

I have worked long and hard on new images that I did not already watermark just so that IH2 can do it for me. If I have to I will resort to using watermarks the old way.

This is my last step before going 100% live on new years. Thanks!

A link to your site will help.

Wouldn't it?:oops:

No. It doesn't seem to be working.

When you right-click an image and click 'properties' you should see 'bmz_cache' in the images path name.

Did you click 'install image handler' in your admin panel?

Is your bmz_cache dir chmod 777?

I looked at you site, no IH 2 is not doing anything. Check your includes/functions/html_output.php, I don't think its modified from stock.

BTW IH2 has not been updated since 5/1/2006 . It doesn't have issues because its still in development, rather the oposite. It was rebuilt for 1.3.x, but then never worked on, so there are lots of weird bugs, patches, tricks etc. to get it to work. The origional author hasn't even been on the forum since June.

This weekend I will sit down and roll a clean new package for 1.3.8a. It won't fix any congenital flaws (I'm not that good), but I can at least make it so people can get it installed without so many headaches.

I still need help getting the pop up background to be white instead of the same background as my store....
