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

Hello,
I am having some problems with Image Handler. PLZ help.
I recheck my installation and everything is there.

Do I have to choose one image type in admin? Right now I have it on the zen default.

I have the apple zen template.
The hover is not working in my product info, I have no water marks on images in the product list or main page, and the water mark isn't working on the "large" image of the product on the product info page.

This is the test items I installed and configured with image handler.

This is a wonderful mod if I can figure out what I missed up ;(

It is working for me but all the right side categories and the footer of the page just disapears. Oh no i could not figure this out.

Top hand where are you i've been waiting for hours please anyone reply.

Calm down.
Tophand will be around.
Meanwhile search this thread with footer or categories keywords.
I remember he answered a similar question a while ago.

By design, the hover doesn't work on the product info page for the product (main) image.
(it is the manual)

Do you have the watermark for large image turned on?
Do you have the watermark image in the image/large folder?

Sorry, I have a business to run during the day and only have a few minutes at night or early morning to help.

When you have IH turned on does the right side categories and the footer of the page disappear on all your pages or just some?

Are the product images displaying?

When a page fails to load correctly it means the a file needed is broken, just need to find which one.

I ask before, have you check to see that you upload "All" the Image handler files and that they are in the correct folders?

(it is the manual) I am not sure what you mean here, It's in the manual or I have to change it manually?

Do you have the watermark for large image turned on?
Yes I do
Do you have the watermark image in the image/large folder?
I rechecked it's there.

Not sure why but if I upload addtional images for a product that image will resize to the larger image with a watermark. But the main product image on my product info page does not have the watermark on the larger image link, the image is not in the cache folder.
Sorry to be your trouble child on this :(

In the manual, it says ```
[B]Note: Zooming in on medium images is not implemented[/B]

The main product image (product info page) is the medium size image.

Have you moved some of the images?
On your additional image link.
The additional images are not named correctly.
One image (just check one)**** KJGIFTAWNAV_LRG.jpg
File path images/large/KJGIFTAWNAV_LRG.jpg
(<http://2antioch.org/store/images/large/KJGIFTAWNAV_LRG.jpg>) gets me a error page.

Try clearing the image cache.
First turn off IH:
Admin-->Tools-->Image Handler-->Admin
Click the link "Remove Image Handler from database".
Not to worry, this does not delete or remove any files.
Next click the link "Clear image cache". 
Some times it is better to ftp or use your website control panel file manager and delete all the sub-folders in the bmz-cache folder.
Ok, now click the link "Install Image Handler".

I don't remember moving anything, how ever I have to admit I wasn't the most organized with the first few pictures.. I didn't quite understand how the names would cause some additional images I didn't intend. So I erased all pictures and uninstalled image handler.

Now once again I'll go back through all installation files to make sure I properly installed everything.
I will reinstall image handler in admin, then upload pictures through it.
Then I will check back with you when I get this done. Hopefully this will take care of my issues!

BTW how can I get the hover to work with the med pictures or is it not recommended?

Thanks
Nicole

The hover/popup image is the medium sized image so you be hover/popup the same image.

YES, using IH to upload additional image for a product will be named correctly by IH. Pay attention how IH does this and you will see how to do this yourself for bulk uploading images via ftp if needed.
This may be of help:

Remember with IH you only need to upload only 1 image (main image) which will the largest image you want display.

The hover/popup image is the medium sized image so you be hover/popup the same image.

Duh lol OKAY I get it lol

I'll check this out. THKS

Ok on the first item picture I uploaded from image handler....
Pop-up large still has no water mark, it's set to one in the admin.
I see it's not in the cache. I did un-install and redid everything - checking each file. :(
Second attempt ..... still not working on large image or on the product listing page. seems like the only place my water mark shows in on the product_info page on the main product image listed there! :frusty:
I know it can not be this hard.... geez I just can not see it... What in world did I do wrong?
BTW My image and bmz_cache folders are 777

Yes I have put all the files in the right place and it just moces the right side colum and the footer away. Look i have two sites on one it is working and on the other one it's not i can;t find where the problem is
site 1 broken when IH installed https://www.asiaradiosales.com
site 2 working properly. https://www.scemploy.com
Please tell me what to do.

ok this is what I found so far.... if my main picture for a product has the suffix for the LRG or MED in there name (MED looks better) IH will put the watermark on the picture in every view.... ??
Ok this is crazy lol I have already reloaded half my pictures when I tried this out.

Well I have read through most of this thread and havnt seen anything that has solved my issue.

I have installed image handler version 2.0 onto my 1.38a zen-cart store.

When I go to Admin/Tools/Image Handler/Preview

ALL 9 images are exactly the same size 642 X 362 no resizing what soever.

My GD info shows as follows

GD Support  enabled  
GD Version  bundled (2.0.28 compatible)  
FreeType Support  enabled  
FreeType Linkage  with freetype  
FreeType Version  2.2.1  
GIF Read Support  enabled  
GIF Create Support  enabled  
JPG Support  enabled  
PNG Support  enabled  
WBMP Support  enabled  
XBM Support  enabled

I tried editing my bmz_image_handler_conf.php to use 1 to force GD and that did not work either

$ihConf['noresize_key']         = 'noresize';         //files which contain this string will not be resized
$ihConf['noresize_dirs']        = array('noresize', 'banners'); //images in directories with these names within the images directory will not be resized.
$ihConf['trans_threshold']      = '90%';              //this is where semitransparent pixels blend to transparent when rendering gifs with ImageMagick
$ihConf['im_convert']           = '';                 //if you want to use ImageMagick, you must specify the convert binary here (e.g. '/usr/bin/convert')
$ihConf['gdlib']                = 2;                  //the GDlib version (0, 1 or 2) 2 tries to autodetect
$ihConf['allow_mixed_case_ext'] = false;              //allow files with mixed case extensions like 'Jpeg'. This costs some time for every displayed image. It's better to just use lower case extensions
$ihConf['default']['bg']        = 'transparent 255:255:255';
$ihConf['default']['quality']   = 85;

Every aspect of IH works except the resizing. When I hover over an image it just shows the original size image I have uploaded. Obviously this is an issue.

I have reinstalled a few times, cleared cache and my bmz_cache folder is 777.

Help would be greatly appreciated.

You don't need to put any suffix.
Just Browse for the largest image and add it.
Always choose default, not medium or large to browse.
The first image you add will be your main image, that one will not hover.
Then add additional images, IH will rename them according to the name of the main image, adding _01, _02, etc. and will save to the root of the image folder.
You configure the resizing in Admin --> Images, as well as the other settings.
Preview never worked correctly for me, there have been lots of posts for that, but no fixes so far.
I find this mod. extremely easy to use, only users complicate it in their minds, adding suffixes, names, etc.
The gist of IH is that it does all that for you.

Did you edit any Zen Cart files? What about the footer/header files?
I see a lot of html errors.
You have too many <head> </head> , <html> </html> tags.
Fix your code then I think IH will work for you.

A link helps us help you.

Hello,
I don't know if it's a right place to ask for help:blush:
Anyway, yesterday I installed IH. Everything worked fine. But tonight on my web site (http://www.iseboutique.com/store/ it's a white space on the top of some pages and pop-up picture at the left top corner. If you go to Embroidery Designs and pick up the design, this white space will appear in a couple seconds. After the mouse is on the picture, you will see the pop-up window with this picture on the top.
So this white space is only on the pages with pictures. But I added additional images only for one product so far.
I haven't change anything neither before IH installation, no after that.
Any ideas what it can be? If i didn't explain well enough, I will try to answer all questions about that. Please, help :lookaroun
Thank you for your help.

Your are missing IH files, double check that you upload "All" IH files and that they are in the correct folders.
You have the correct permissions on bmz_cache folder?
