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

marksu:

Don't you have backup?
If you do use the backup and reinstall the module.

Hello Mark, thank you for responding..
I do have many back-ups, it's just that I don't sit still until I get a response off of the forum. I keep going.. So what I am faced with is, giving up some of my valued progress to give up something that can't be found, or... ?

2.If you dont check what files is included in 1.2 version as well 1.3 version and move them out from ZC. Do not delete incase you still need them for some reason.

I have been through each file set twice, double checking to make sure that all files injected, have been removed, verifying both sets..1.2 & 1.3, all are gone.. I can't discover them via .../Admin/Developer's Tool Kit/... etc. The text within all files, seems to be gone, only the /Admin/Configuration/Images/ shows signs of Image Handler ? Are these IH lines here on a raw initial install, with no modules added ? I might be trying to beat on a live horse vs. an assumed dead ghost ? i.e.;

IH resize images
IH small image filetype
IH small image background
IH watermark small images
IH zoom small images
IH small image hotzone
IH small image compression quality
IH medium image filetype
IH medium image background
IH watermark medium images
IH zoom medium images
IH medium image hotzone
IH medium image compression quality
IH large image filetype
IH large image background
IH watermark large images
IH large image compression quality
IH large image maximum width
IH large image maximum height
IH watermark gravity
IH zoom gravity

NOTE you might also need to remove 1.2 and 1.3 data from database. I presume 1.2 and 1.3 IH modules has apropriate uninstall sql scripts.

Database Tables are void of any IH markings.. ?

After this you reinstall the module.

After all of this effort, I am hesitant on wanting to reinstall a problem child with lack of any documentation other than gloat. As you can see from my text above, I don't know if one author, corrupted another's clean-up efforts, because like I said, alot of the files are identical in date & time so it's hard to tell, except file by file, what was updated for the new version release ? If I measure the value of a mod, by the number of responses in their support forum, I probably wouldn't have installed this one, having over 3000 'replies' ?

After this if you are unlucky you lost som merged file and some other modules stop working. Well then you need to check the other modules install instruction what code need to be added.

Note: if you have no backup remember to backup next time.:wink:

Again, thank you for your response, and I appreciate all of the helpful thoughts and ideas, but none have cleared out the ghost Image Handler text left behind. :cry:

I have just installed IH2 and i have a few interesting bugs.

1. Suppose i have a big product list which is needed to scroll down in order to view all the products. When i hover over small products pictures without scrolling showtrail works fine. I can see the large image near the small image.
   However, when i scroll down a bit i the the big picture stays in a cretin place and not near the small product picture (See Screenshot attached).

2. My website has two different languages. Hebrew (Right to Left) and English. In the Hebrew language there is a weird bug. Show trail works only for some of the pictures. On the others it just doesn't show the large picture. When i switch to English, everything works like a charm.

Hope you could help me fixing these issues.

Well could you clarify what you mean?
What is the actual problem.

Marksu, thank you for following the issue..

I had some issues with IH2 and had to go back and reverse install IH2. I found that I may have initially installed the earlier version intended for 1.2.xx, and then over wrote it with the more recent version for 1.3.xx. After comparing all of the files in the two contribs, I noticed that there was an equivelant IH series of lines floating in the /Admin/Configuration/Images/ area after all was said and done, with all images fully crippled from any showing on any area of the test site. I di restore my backups, one level, attempting to get to an earlier version of IH2, as it had worked briefly before something went awry.

At this point, I took the version that was just showing 'place holders' and reloaded IH2 for 1.3.xx.. For the most part, at this moment, most is working, except the hover feature, the enlargement feature and some product pages.. I have reloaded Zen more than once so far and have learned things the hard way each time, I guess with out the "Zen Bible", I will flounder until I buy it and flounder until I reload ZC one more time, being way more attentive to each contrib, working it through until completion before I add another one.

I admit, 3 weeks ago, I thought the contribs were time tested and flawless to be in position, so I loaded several at one time, without cautiously following each one through.

I appologize to you, to the authors of each contrib that I have scrutinized and humbly will start over again.. or at least two or three backups back.

Right now, even though the hover is not working and I remember having to dig the resolution out for that, when I select a product, only the header appears, until I hit refresh again to get the side boxes and main page to appear.. I'll return, a stronger Zenner, soon.

Thanks to all.

Just have to say i love the mod but i recently had to debug a problem where large res images where causing the product listing page to be empty.

after following the flow for a long time with echo statements it came down to that the following function was crashing: (bmz_image_handler.class.php)

	$image = @imagecreatefromjpeg($src_name);

so i found this fix:

	    ini_set('memory_limit', '50M');
			$image = @imagecreatefromjpeg($src_name);

perhaps this can be coded into the next release ???
:clap:

Has anyone tried to add the description of the product to the mouse over window? So in addition to the product title and the product Image I would like to add the product description as well.

Hey,
Sorry, that was my mistake, i realised my error in uploading 3 images instead of one, as well as clearing the cache.

Thanks

HI!!!

I have the same problem.
I see the images in the Admin, but when I go on the page... nothing.

All my images are uploaded FTP and they have good naming. I wouldn't be able to see them in the IH2 Admin, nu?

What's the solution?
Thank you!

Hi Zenners, Twice I ask is somebody experiencing as listed here or have a Clue?
"I just installed IH2 and everything seems to work fine except that when you click on the Image to check a product and add to cart, it displays but with the FOLLOWING Error below the Image:

xt' => "\n " . $link); $col ++; if ($col > (IMAGES_AUTO_ADDED -1)) { $col = 0; $row ++; } } // end for loop } // endif ?>

What needs fixing?

I'm getting this error in IH2

Error!

Unable to determine the page link!

Function used:

zen_href_link('', '', 'NONSSL')

I googled it and read some forum posts, and tried some things and check some things but I can't get this working.

I could have sworn when I originally installed this it worked? I just reinstalled it and it still doesn't work.

I checked to make sure both the bmz cache and images folder are writable and that my image names don't have spaces or odd characters in them.

I can see that images are being properly uploaded into the images folder when I try to add an additional image with IH2 but I get the error above when I upload even though I see the new image is in the images folder.

Strange thing too is that the additional image doesn't show up on the products detail page like it should, it seems like I have multiple issues

Hi Tim!

Your mod is really cool and believe me that I searched almost 2 months for something like this and I even lost myself in the jungle of coding [and I don't know anything about it].
I need your help, please!!!

Everything works just fine and is so easy, but when I get to the product info page... i can't see the additional images at all. Do you know any solution to this?
Thank you and I am waiting with my eyes stiked to the monitor!

Hello there i seen to have some issue with getting the image handler to work :-( my hover images dont work and I am not sure if its actually spliting my images into 3 different sizes or not. I already had some produtcts uploaded on my site so i thought maybe it only works on freshly created products. So i created the new product and it still doesnt work. Please let me know what i'm doing wrong here!

here's the link to the new product that i created:
http://protunerparts.com/zen/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=7_11&products_id=49

rest of the products have been there before the image handler.

You could also edit line 78 of includes/functions/extra_functions/functions_bmz_image_handler.php (line number may be different for you) to pass an empty string for alt:

  return array($src, '', intval($width), intval($height), $parameters);

This way you don't have to change a lot of zen_image() calls, and you're done with one simple code change. However, the alt tag will be missing in each and every image.

I wouldn't suggest editing the includes/functions/html_output.php file since it's a core file and more likely to change in new versions of Zen-Cart and Image Handler than functions_bmz_image_handler.php.

Cheers,

THANK YOU!!! REALLY HELPFUL!

i think i fixed my problem. i think i was missing the javascript file and i also turned off the image hot zone as the hover images would only work if you centered the mouse on the hotzone directly, not the entire image.

a seperate question: does it matter where i upload the main image? does it have to be the main directory? Or can i place all the images in the "large" folder?

dakini:

I'm using Zen Cart v1.3.8a on this site:
http://www.canepress.org/store/
I installed Image Handler 2 and it is resizing images for the main image on the product pages, but the additional images don't show up and a couple of pages in the Zen Cart Admin area won't display, either.

Hi, Dakini!

I just got on your website and I see that your additional images are working really nice on the product info page. I am :frusty: trying to do the same thing and I don't get it. I read until I got blue in the face and still nothing... besides everything, my additional images are swaping with the main one.
Can you please HELP ME!!!???????????????????

This is a link of the problem:
http://mainmag.net/cart/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=37&products_id=36

I'll stay like this :shocking: until you help me!!!
Thank you!

Putting images in the medium & large folder turns off IH for those images.
But you can use other (sub)folders under the image folder.

Could be the template your using. Did you pay money for it?
Switch to the classic template and see what happens.

What is the actual problem.

Hello again Marksu,

Well, I guess if I spent my first few weeks thoroughly scouring every detail within the Admin area of ZC, when it was 1st installed, I would have found out that my "Ghost IH" lines in /Admin/Configuration/Images/ would have been there from a fresh install, which I wound up having to do over the past couple of days ? Sorry to have you jump in for something that didn't 'click' with me in the previous beginning.. they are there, before installing IH2 has an upgrade.. :oops:

Things are stabilized now, I am backing up every, or every 2-3 contribs, depending on the complexity. I have yet to add product, so that I don't have to fight image manipulation for the moment, but there is a light still burning at the end of the tunnel.

Thanks again for you concerned willingness to help.
