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

nsirago:

I installed a program to rewrite my URLs and now none of my image are showing. I need to use absolute URLs. How can I modify image handler to do this?

Thanks.

lukemcr:

Hm, interesting. I'm glad I'm not the only person having this problem. It's not a deal-breaker, of course, but it'd be nice to be able to fix it. :-)

There's a ton of ways to fix the problem your having, but none of them will help unless we know which rewrite program your using.

And what if we made the URL Rewrite program leave out images, instead of modifying Image Handler?

Zen Cart 1.3.8?

Well, I'm having a similar problem only in the sense that none of my images are showing up in the admin. I don't know if nsirago's images weren't showing up only in the admin or on the frontend too.

I'm using 1.3.8. It doesn't have any significant modifications to it. My URLS are not being re-written. (mod_rewrite is installed on the server, but not being called from the .htaccess, and no URL rewriting module is installed.)

My problem is that one of the relative URLs within IH2's admin has some duplicate content. That's why image URLs within the admin show up as /new//new/image/, where my site is at https://www.domain.com/new/

and one more question...

any way to keep animated gif's working for product images?

yes, I know they are so 90's but I've got one image that works great for what I need but IH stops the animation... I tried deleting in IH2 manager and loading it via ZC categories/products but IH2 still controls it (hover)

ideas....

:yes:

I've searched this thread until the present and haven't been able to find an answer to wasana's query. I'm having the same problem now. The customer wanted animated images (like this :yes: )in the category headings and they stopped working after I installed IH2. Doe anyone know if there has been a resolution of this problem since wasana's post in 2006?

I wanted to install IH2, and so figured I would download the contribution directly from the BreakMyZenCart website, thinking I would be assured of getting the most current version.

As it turns out, the BMZC site apparently isn't maintained, so I ended up installing the older IH2 v 1.3. I've since found IH2 v1.3.7 in the Zen Cart contribution area. I've performed a reinstall, having gone through all the folders, and restoring the original Zen Cart files, where appropriate.

Following the original v1.3 install, there was an "Install" link within the Zen Cart admin Tools, to complete the installation. I assume to run a script to modify the MySQL database. This was not an option after pushing out the new v1.3.7 version.

Does anyone know if there are any database changes that occurred between v1.3 and v1.3.7, or should I be good as is?

IH2 seems to be operational within Zen Cart admin (Source Image Preview now works, which previously did not with v1.3), but I have not yet used it with live data.

Thanks in advance.

Breakmyzencart has become exactly that. The community has pushed the development of Image Handler into compatibility with the newer versions of Zen Cart, so you should get this mod from Zen's download section.

As far as the install link there's one in the 1.3.7 version of IH, but if you had previously installed IH using an older version it might detect that it's already installed. So from the newer version you installed, un-install the IH data, then re-install it. You can do this from the Admin of your cart.

Thanks, testuser!

I did as you suggested; very quick and painless. Had I realized that I could have un-installed the data components that simply, I would have done so prior to installing the 1.3.7 version.

But tell me, has anyone resolved the animated gif issue with IH2?

Pardon me if the question has been addressed already. I'm new to the forum, and have tried searching, but I must be missing something, because it seems to be fairly cumbersome to search within threads.

Thanks again,

What's wrong with your animated gif's? They're probably being flattened.

Hello, please, give a solution for my trouble...
Firt of all I have installed IH2 on my shop after that, Lightbox. I did not pay enough att to all the products on my site but... when I enable IH2 some strange things happend. First of all, on a 2nd category nothing is showed up... i can post some print screens because I turn off IH ...
1: With IH2 enabled has to be like this: Without IH2 enabled
2: With IH2 enabled has to be like this: Without IH2 enabled

and the examples may continue...

The strange thing is that it works on some categories and products, but in others not.

PLEASE HELP!!!

P.S. I search a lot, I did a lot o "fixes"... nothing works. I am thinking maybe is because of Lightbox... I don`t know, I need profesional help :smile:

Filesize and dimensions of your product images?

Let`s say that one of the pictures is 800x1199 and 45.8 KB
This could be the problem?

I change the dimmension of the picture, I make all smaller by 50% and is still the same...

Path bug...

All you need to do is ad the path to it, basically changing it to:

require_once('includes/classes/bmz_gif_info.class.php');

That will do the trick.

Derek

Sorry, cand you be more exactly? Please... I don`t know where to add you code. Millions of thanks!

Actually better with this code, this will solve admin errors too:

require_once(DIR_FS_CATALOG.DIR_WS_CLASSES.'bmz_gif_info.class.php');

so open up /includes/classes/bmz_image_handler.class.php

and change line 12 from

require_once(bmz_gif_info.class.php');

to

require_once(DIR_FS_CATALOG.DIR_WS_CLASSES.'bmz_gif_info.class.php');

that will solve the openbase_dir problems.

Hope this helps

Derek Buntin

It does not help. I did the change but nothing happend. Any other solution?

Hi Minute,

What do you mean? whats your problem? openbase_dir?

I just did this exact same thing on a clients website and it works perfectly, are you following the correct instructions?

Thanks

Hello

I am having a weird problem with image handler & 1.38a, everything was working fine and then for some reason the medium images are no longer being correctly resized.

Clean install of 1.38a, seo urls added, then image handler, then admin profiles (my 3 zen must haves!!) everything was working this afternoon (and for the last week) and now the medium pics are being resized by zen (as in the medium pics are showing as jaggy - like how zen would resize a pic forcing it to display smaller) even though the paths are showing as coming from the BMZ folder, small images & large images are fine.

Cannot see how or where to fix this.

Any help appreciated

Could this be down to me changing the sub category image size? This is the only change i've made, I've put it back but images are still not showing correctly.

The other hiccup (which didn't happen in 1.38) is that the large image defaults to showing the small thumbnail, if you pick up a small & medium image but not a large image. I can work round this, but would like the medium images to look clean on the site and not "jaggy".

Stuck.....

Are you category images resizing appropriately as well?

I have installed IH@ and I don't have any hover features., no re-size, no watermark, and I can't display more than 1 pic.
I think this isn't working for me.

can anyone recommend a company that can install Zencart for me with lightbox or image handler. I can't spend this much time reading 250 pages of techno lingo.
