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

Hi, wondered if anyone can help. I have this program installed (I think) but I can't work out how the multiple image thing works? I have a product selected and it looks like I have attached another image to the a product, there are two images listed under the product but it does not display in my store, any ideas?

Hi,

I'm using a template from TemplateMonster which I guess generates thumbnails automatically. All my pictures are in the folder /images. The folders images/large and images/medium contain no images, yet in my shop the thumbnails etc. are automatically generated.

I've installed IH2 to add watermarks, but they only appear when the image is small. When I click on 'larger image' the watermark is gone. When I copy the image from /images to /images/large the watermark does appear.

Is there a way I can get the watermark to appear on the large images also, without having to copy all the images to the /images/large folder?

Hope this makes sense to someone. Any help appreciated.

There seems to be some confusion about templates, I think.

My /includes/templates folder contains:

classic
mytemplate
template_custom
template_default

The IH2 documentation says, "If you use a custom template, copy the contents of includes/templates/templates_custom into your custom template's folder..."

But, all ZC installs create folders called:
includes/templates/template_custom
includes/templates/template_default

On my other test site,- where the hover works fine - I am using the "classic" template - there are no others installed. The IH2 Javascript folder was installed to /includes/templates/template_default.

Pardon my confusion: is the "custom template's folder"
includes/templates/template_custom
or
includes/templates/mytemplate?

The "evidence" on my test site suggests that /template_default is the correct location for the jscript folder and its files.

Can you point me where this posted?
Thanks.
I have worked on a module called Attribute popup (large images)
http://www.zen-cart.com/index.php?main_page=product_contrib_info&cPath=40_47&products_id=616
therein is the way we solved compatibility issues with IH2, mainly why imagehover stopped working.
Also, check the Easy rollovers thread.

Check around this post, unfortunately the link to DrByte's post no longer works.

I have searched the forum and haven't found an answer to this one.

In the documentation, it says to go to Admin > Tool > Image Handler 2, and then go to admin and select Install Image Handler. What is weird is I do not have that option. I have Remove Image Handler, Clear image cache, and Scan for old.

Also, under Admin > Config > Images, there are no additional options for IH (I assume that is because I have not intalled it from the Tools area.

Any ideas?

Thanks!

Double check that all of files for IH are uploaded and are in the correct locations.

I did a double check and all files are uploaded and in the correct locations.

Any other ideas?

Hmmm....

You only see 3 options in IH2 Admin because it thinks that it is already installed.
I would try uninstalling (thoroughly), then reinstalling.

Got it! It was as simple as clicking on "Remove Image Handler from Database." After that, "Install Image Handler" appeared. I clicked on that and now the options show up under Admin > Config > Images.

Thank you!

Hi,

My Image Handler appears to be working just fine for small and medium images, however, when I click to view larger images, I don't think Image Handler is doing anything at all for those.

I've checked all settings and permissions on all image folders and bmz cache are set to 755.

IH resize images yes
IH small image filetype no_change
IH small image background 255:255:255
IH watermark small images no
IH zoom small images yes
IH small image hotzone no
IH small image compression quality 85
IH medium image filetype no_change
IH medium image background 255:255:255
IH watermark medium images no
IH zoom medium images no
IH medium image hotzone no
IH medium image compression quality 85
IH large image filetype no_change
IH large image background 255:255:255
IH watermark large images no
IH large image compression quality 85
IH large image maximum width 750
IH large image maximum height 600

When I check the images under the Image Handler listings, it lists the correct resolution for the large file at 750px, but when I click on the image, it shows up at original max resolution, anywhere from 1200px to 2500px.

I've cleared the image cache several times as well.

Can anyone please tell me what I'm missing here?

All other categories use smaller images, so they're not an issue.

Hello there,

stevensmedia:

This thread is losing effectiveness... it's just too big. How many times have the same support questions been asked because we can't locate the fixes in this monster thread? If we can't have a sub-forum dedicated to IH, wouldn't it be good for the mod contributor to just set up a free Google Group?

I had set up a wiki with an FAQ for IH back in May, 2006 when I was actively developing the plugin. It is free to everyone and you needn't even register. It contains just one question because I had no time to scan this thread for those answered questions back then and I have even less time nowadays. Please go ahead and use the pages in my public wiki but remember, it is for answered questions, that means, the problem must be resolved before the question is put there with it's answer. Otherwise how would you put an answer to the question?

There is a zen cart wiki, too. It even sports an area for 3rd party contributions but I believe you have to register or login. It would be a good idea to copy the information from the FAQ on breakmyzencart to the zen cart wiki once there is some valuable information there or even use the zen cart wiki right from the start. Maybe someone (or some more?) will take the time after their recurring problem is solved and post the solution there but we know all how it is: once the problem is solved, another one or some wicked deadline arises (wich we knew would arive for weeks) and we don't have time for the documentation.

Cheers,
Tim

Tophand, I seem to see the same issue as Atma did. In Google Chrome browser, with a fresh install of IH2, the popup images during the mouse-over appear at the top of the visible page, in the product listing. I am surprised no one else had the same issue as the two of us. Any ideas yet?

Don't know if anyone's found the fix for this but I did discover a way to eliminate the problem (not fix it) with a css hack:

@media screen and (-webkit-min-device-pixel-ratio:0) {
/* only webkit-based browsers will read the following styles */
#trailimageid {
display: none;
}
}

That will make hover images not display in Chrome or Safari. Until someone comes up with a better, more appropriate fix, that's what I'm using. I've wasted too much time trying to get the hover images where they ought to be. I'd rather just not have them display in Chrome at all. :smile:

I have a problem with a image link at the bottom of my site that reads - Click Image to Close. This I would like to get rid of, but when I try to my page want load. It did not appear until I installed image handler. Does anybody have any ideas I would be grateful.
You can see my website in my signature. Thank you

I am getting this error when I go to the IH2 image manager:

Warning: preg_match() [function.preg-match]: Compilation failed: unmatched parentheses at offset 7 in /home/digitalp/public_html/BIGIMPACTFASHION.COM/admin/image_handler.php on line 54

Any ideas?

Had something to do with the name of the image of the product
!BPf!G)QBWk~$(KGrHgoOKk!EjlLmZICkBJz6Z0h2wQ~~_1.jpg
I renamed the file and it was ok

I inatalled this on a cart couple of days ago and have been reading trying to find an answer to this.
The extra images seem to add and show up just fine. Now however, the main image for the product shows the red x for the missing image.
the link to the image is images/medium/IMAGENAME_MED.jpg but there is no image in that folder for this.

Interestingly when I click on that miasing (or the link larger image) the large image appears.

What is missing to create the _MED.jpg image?

I've been breaking my head over this. I installed IH2 a couple of days ago. I have the watermark turned on for both small, medium and large images but only the the small ones display a watermark. I have created watermark.png and placed it in /images/large.

The watermark does show when I copy a picture gadget.jpg from /images to /images/large and rename it gadget_LRG.jpg.
