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

blackhalo:

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?

As in it's pointless...the images are loaded as if they were placed in a regular image tag. There's not point in pre-loading them. The hover effect just, let's say brings them in to view. In otherwords they're already loaded when the page load completes, not just when you hover over them.

Pre-loading all the images wouldn't be feasible, or ideal.

And the problem was..?

So others will know.

My hoster had a serious problem with the chmod-command und always when i set permissions of the cache folder to 777 it was set back to 600. Emptying image cache and chmod with filezilla solved that. Now i have another Problem, I uploaded images and i get this error on the product-page:

Warning: preg_match() [function.preg-match]: Unknown modifier 'I' in /mnt/web7/21/67/51778667/htdocs/shop/includes/modules/clean_business/additional_images.php on line 47

I already removed double backslashes in the image-path through editing main_product_image.php but without any effect except the right image-path.

This is my additional_images.php in the /includes/modules/additional_images.php folder:

thanks for your help in advance :)

Any specific reason you've removed the "/i"?

The error was "Unknown modifier I" , so i thought removing it could help, but removing it changed nothing

Did you receive my PM? Removing the "/i" won't help and your actually killing the preg function.

What's probably happening here, is when your adding the product your instructing Zen to use an image already on the server. If that's the case, make sure your not putting a / before the image name.

In the meantime, I've written into your code a snippet to remove the forward slash. But to be safe, just don't use it.:lamo:

NOTE: Other images within your cart aren't showing, probably cause you haven't uploaded them yet. Just wanted to be sure your aware.

Hi,

Love the image handler, just need help with a small fix.

My images get cut off if the are low on the screen, I would like then to appear correctly relative to the mouse position does anybody know what I am doing wrong ?

I see that this does not happen on other peoples website who are using the IH2 someone please help.

Muddler:

I have two hopefully simple questions for IH2.

1. Can you, and if so how do you change the size of the medium image ? My small image hoover displays a medium image popup nearly identical to the small image's size.

2. The hoover popup displays the product name also (this looks great) but another product name popup is overlaid on top of it. Can I somehow turn the second popup with just the product name off ?

Adv<thanks>ance

I have this same question that i am hoping someone can answer. the program works great, i just want a bigger picture.

The size of the hover image is dependent upon the size of your product info image.

You can set these sizes under Configuration :: Images.

Hi everyone,
I have, again because I had to change server, a problem with IH2.
The small image is smagged, not clear or focussed, the medium image is ok.
I had this problem before and I had resolved it with the folder permissions to be the same for the bmz_cache folders and the images folders.
This time does not work.
Has anyone got any idea for me to help?
Thanks

My client would like to have some very long images in her additional image popups. I found where to add scrollbars to the popup windows so that you can scroll down to see the bottom of a large image. However, in Firefox the window itself is so tall that the bottom is cut off.

Here's an example: the second additional image is the long one.

I played with includes/modules/pages/popup_image_additional/jscript_main.php but I wasn't able to make the window less tall in Firefox. Any ideas?

Thanks, that's what I was trying to figure out...
whether they're preloaded with Javascript or downloaded with :hidden html/css makes no difference,
as long as they're loaded before you hover them.

As I stated, I see a (ever-so) slight delay when hovering...
I assumed this was the image downloading from the server,
and this effect would get worse for people with slower connections.

As it is, sounds pretty good man...thanks for the reply! :clap:

If you have the Opera browser, you can see how many image are loading in your browser to the right of the address bar.

If your using FireFox and have the Web Developer tools installed, you can view the Document Size and this will tell you how big your page loads are. Excluding any Flash of course.

Hi, I was wondering if anyone could tell me how to resize my hover image, i rather have my customers hover over the image and see a large detailed picture than have to click to view the product description then click again for the larger picture.

The size of the hover image is dependent upon the settings for your Product Info image.

You can edit those dimensions from the admin area of your Zen Cart:

Configuration -> Images

Hi, I was wondering how I can remove the IH2 files from my install.
Currently I have to copy and rename 2 image files each and every time i add a product and this is annoying to say the least.
I dont want to fix it- just remove it.

Many Thanks

What seems to be the problem? What are the names of your images before you have to change them. You may have a problem with our without image handler...

If you want to remove the files, the best/easiest way to do so is to grab a download package of the module, the follow that structure to back out or remove the files.

Uninstall the SQL first though via the admin tool provided under:

Tools :: Image Handler 2

Use the admin tab located on that page to uninstall the SQL

This is an awesome mod! I am a bit confounded with my presentation however and I hope someone can help me out. The hover effect is working on my sideboxes (featured, what's new) but not on the product listing or new products center box. I have made sure all the contrib's files were transferred and it is working beautifully resizing and where it does hover but I don't know how to get it show the hover on the product listing.
