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

ckosloff:

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.

This is what I was doing, I added prob. 20 pictures.
I would upload the largest choice as my "default" picture. The only picture that would have the water mark in this method is my product info picture.
However if I bring the item (product up) up load a picture as let's say fred_MED.jpg .... it works ....... makes all three sizes, water marks on everything.
If I up load fred.jpg in IH as default ... water on product info only. Unless I upload addtional pictures ... then all the addtional pictures will have the water mark. I know this is not how it is supposed to work... but this is the only way I can get it to work unless someone knows why it is acting so crazy for me :)

If you upload fred_MED.jpg as your main product image, and select the default, that will be your base image.
The additionals will be named fred_MED_01.jpg, etc.
IH doesn't care about that suffix, it just sees a name.

The only file i remember changing was the footer file but i have now changed it back to normal.
It still does not work. I will keep trying.

With IH on, you are not getting the right side boxes correct?
Just troubleshooting now.
Try turning off 1 right side side box and then see if the page loads with IH on. Repeat.

If you have a look now i have uploaded the IH but still not working.

You can see if you click on one of the categories you can see that it it working but only on the index page https://www.asiaradiosales.com it won't work.
Oh man this is driving me crazy.

Me too.

I did see a very large image, it was not a jpeg but a bmp image.
A lot of the pages loaded fine for me but not all of them.
I thinking some of your images are the trouble.
Another image I saw had a space in the name.

Double check that you uploaded "All" the IH files and that they are in the correct folders.
Are you having trouble just on the admin side?

Yes but the categories and the footer dissapeared. if i unistall it then they will come do you see that?

Top hand i've been tring renaming files and addinf the ones from zencart directly. It seems not to work whatever i try. If you just click in one of the categories then everything works fine. I don't understand only the first page not working.
Please advice if you have any idea.

Please have a look at the site now IH is activated and you see the sideboxes are all gone. But then click on one category on the left side boxes and you will see them appear.

IH uses GD libraries or ImageMagick (server side) to process the images. On large files GD libraries or ImageMagick can choke (server times out) which will create a corrupt image file in the bmz_cache folder. So with IH on when Zen Cart tries to load the image it fails at that point. Did you check for that image that is in a bmp format? I think I saw it was 5 megs big.

Do you think an image will break the index page the first page? This only happens when you open the first page.

Hi!
I just uninstalled image handler 2 and now I can no longer access my admin! Check it out here: https://www.craftycowleatherworks.com/store/admin

The error I am getting is:

Warning: main(/homepages/39/d273505494/htdocs/ccl/store/includes/extra_configures/bmz_io_conf.php) [function.main]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /homepages/39/d273505494/htdocs/ccl/store/admin/includes/extra_configures/bmz_io_conf.php on line 12

Fatal error: main() [function.require]: Failed opening required '/homepages/39/d273505494/htdocs/ccl/store/includes/extra_configures/bmz_io_conf.php' (include_path='.:/usr/lib/php') in /homepages/39/d273505494/htdocs/ccl/store/admin/includes/extra_configures/bmz_io_conf.php on line 12

For the life of me I can't figure out what the deal is. I certainly hope I didn't ruin the site.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I don't mean to step on your issue hachaliah. It is much worse than mine.
I was attempting to load images to a product and the IH page disappeared. When I highlight the product in admin/tools/IH2 manager and click "display", the page goes white, nothing. I have to nav back. the entire category is also gone from the website. If I remove IH2 the cat is back on the website. I followed post #1836 which seemed to be similar but that fixed didn't help. Any thoughts would be appreciated.
IH2 is off but here is the page that goes missing with IH2 on, 1.3.8,

Please have a look.

Have you check your server error logs?

This tool might be of help.

Man, your images are BIG!
This image is 5491px × 3661px!!!

Need to resize your images before uploading.

IH uses GD libraries or ImageMagick which is on the server to process the images. BIG images can cause GD libraries or ImageMagick to timeout which in turn creates a corrupt image.
Page(s) will fail when trying to load a corrupt image.

Thank you Tophand, I resized and uploaded though cpanel. worked great.
I have to go thru all my images and optimize.
Thanks

Hi all,

I have the same problem as Beer Bender. Image Handler does not seem to be resizing my images. Interestingly, on the Image Handler preview page, the PNG file is not being displayed ata ll (I need to check source file exists but I am sure I have installed IH correctly - all the configuration options are available and the hover function works).

Does anyone have any ideas - I am going to keep pluging away for now.

Am I right in thinking that the hover image should be large than the thumb on display? See f u n a d u l t c o s t u m e s . c o . u k

Thanks
