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

Hello,
When I rollover an IH2 image, my entire site is pushed down and the pop up appears in the top left corner.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

By the way I am using Multi_site module.. could this be why?

A link to the site helps us help you.

Do you double check that you uploaded "All" the files for IH?
You might have missed this one.

Tophand,
Thank you. For legal reasons, I cannot publicly post the URL to the site I am working on at the moment however your analysis was absolutely correct. Thank you for taking the time to help. The problem is now solved. I was missing the css!

Hi -

For some reason the hover feature is not working. I have double checked the installation and configuration. I set the image sizes to the same size for small Image, Image - Product New Listing Width, etc (as per a previous post). I do see the watermark indicating "pop-up-ability" but I get no pop. :) IE complains that pages are done loading with errors, and Firefox just happliy ignores.

I suspect the Javascript - but if others are not having an issue then it to something I have missed?

Hello,

I followed the readme exactly and uploaded the files properly. I have GD etc. ZC 1.3.8 with IH2 (for 1.3.x).

...but when I visit mysite.com/admin/image_handler.php I get a 500 error!

Any ideas?

Hi,

I've set IH up and it's definitely resizing images nicely for me, etc.

All features appear to work but the conversion to PNG for categories doesn't

I've tried clearing the cache and evening manually deleting all the files in the cache with no joy - when I display a list of categories, each image is JPG.

The customer has commented that the images look a little blurred. I agree - I can see the JPG edge artifacts that you get sometimes and it doesn't seem to make a difference if I change the compression ratio.

I've got all compression levels to 100 (meaning best quality image).

Can somebody help me here?

Thanks,

Simon.

IH2 is great...love it!

I'm curious though, is there a way to "preload" the hover images?

I have the slightest delay when I hover...
but I can imagine this getting longer depending on the customers modem speed.

It's common practice to pre-load rollovers...but I have no idea how-to with ImageHandler.
Has anyone integrated a pre-load function to the mod?

They're cached on the server, and once you've loaded the page. Pre-loading, depending on how many images you have, would defeat the purpose and functionality. Better to say it's not feasible.:lamo:

Check the host. We've had the same problem with GoDaddy versus another host. Quality improved on another host.

Check to make sure your .htaccess file with the admin directory isn't corrupted.

There are a few hosts that block the ability to disable security filters via the .htaccess file.

No disrespect, but I don't really understand your reasoning.

Are you saying images are cached (in the browser) when someone loads the page?
Then that would be pre-loading...

What I don't understand is "defeat the purpose and functionality"...
isn't part of the purpose to have the hover effect load quickly?

If someone has to wait for it to load...THAT defeats the purpose.

Since it's very unlikely every image will be hovered immediately when the user hits the page,
having those hover images loading in the background would cache them locally,
making the effect faster...increasing functionality.

Or is "not feasible"...as in, it CAN'T be done?
