Read it, tried it, no dice. I have read close to every page in this insanely long thread. The strange thing is that I have it working with no issues on one site: 1.3.7 with Red Passion based theme but I can not get it to work in 1.3.8a with Cherry Zen.

How do I disallow clicking on the additional images from opening a larger image in another window?
As in I dont want people to click on the image and open an enlarged image

Is this a Javascript thing? cos i cant find the function anywhere :(

Hi can anyone help?

I keep looking at:
/includes/modules/additional_images.php

But cant seem to figure out which to remove to disable the click to enlarge :(

Before I try installing this one, I want to know if it will work on an already functioning store. Mine is working just fine but I am looking at this mod as a way to cut down on the amount of work my co-owner and I spend resizing the images we have from all our designers. Link to my store: GBLCreations

I know this would have worked HAD I installed it prior to opening the store but we are six months old now and have images for over 300 individual products. Each one is a unique product.

As for installing it on a test bed, I don't have one up and running. I could get one up eventually and try it.

Yes it can be added to an existing store. If you leave the lrg and med images you have already created in placed they will be used for those products, and with new products just load the largest image you are going to display into the images folder and image handler will do the rest and cache those images in the bmz_cache folder. If you want it to handle the old images also you will need to remove the small image, medium image and move the _LRG version from the large folder to the images root and remove _LRG from the filename. Anytime IH2 find a matching image name, with _MED or _LRG, in the medium or Large folders it doesn't processes them. That is considered and override of the image handler function and comes in handy in some situations.

Thanks for answering. Let me think on this and see what I want to do. I'm not sure yet cause I don't want to do anything at the moment. We just started a major sale. Liz

I've been working on the back end of our site for a couple weeks now, everything's getting to where it should be as far as layout...

I've installed IH2, and it works great! But...

I was wondering if anyone knew how to display text below the image after it's uploaded...

For example:

http://www.trueclothing.net/zen/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=85_87_113&products_id=194

For that product, I need to make the attribute options (colorways) shown below the image for each attribute. I will have at least 2 colorways per every item on the store so adding it to the actual image is not an option. I need to either display the text description of the colorway below the image or what would be even cooler, is if I could have the main image rotate to the selected attribute before someone adds it to cart, but I'm sure that's a long shot...

Any help is appreciated, I tried searching through massive posts to find an answer, but to no avail.

Thanks

There is a mod called "Additional images relocated with CSS", my site uses it, check it out to see if it is what you need.

To build a local site that replicates your live one is easier than you think, everything is explained in the Zen Cart Manual.
You don't need to stop testing because you are having an online sale, since the test site will come out of your local server.
This is unrelated to IH2, so PM me for further instructions, if you would.

I already have the images located beneath the main product image, wish I would have seen that mod before I dug through the code and edited it...

I really appreciate the quick response, I'm here at work for 2 more hours trying to get as much as I can done on this thing...

Sorry if it didn't come out clear, but I need the individual attribute image names beneath the individual color image options.

So White/Red would be right below the image of the White/Red product, etc etc.

Anyone else have any ideas?

(This has nothing to do with IH)
You can set this via the attribute controller.
Admin-->Catalog-->Attribute Controller.
http://www.zen-cart.com/wiki/index.php/Admin_-_Catalog_-_Attributes_Controller

Also think there is a mod, check the Free Software Add ons link above.

Agreed.
I encourage the use of the Zen Cart manual, everything is explained there, in chapter 13, Attributes.
However, I believe these options are set in Option Names Manager --> Edit, it will show different styles for attributes to display.
Anyway, there are other threads more appropriate for discussing these page layout issues.

This may seem like a silly question, but in the product preview page, when listing a new item or editing an existing item, the image that is displayed there is not re-sized by IH2. Is there a way to tell IH2 to do its magic there as well?

Thanks for all the help!

I understand what you're saying about the attribute controller...
I fixed that part as you can see here:

http://www.trueclothing.net/zen/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=85_87_113&products_id=194

I have the arrangement close to what I want, but now I was wondering if there's a way to get the images to pop up like image handler's extra images does. I need the attribute image to stay next to the text...

If you are going to refer me to "Attribute Pop-Up Images" it doesn't work with the settings I have... any other suggestions?

**** EDITED *** Never ever post in a forum, email, newsletter etc. the zenid or zenAdminID or you will be doomed!!** :eek:

Ok this thread is way too long, it is too time consumin to search for answers!

here is my basic question, we already have a store set up and runing well now for 18 months, but our bandwidth usage is killing us, so we ahve to reduce the space images are taking up.

If we install image handler 2 will it be an issue that the images are already on our site and may vary in size.

If you think it may be please offer some advise before we install on Saturday. We are using verson 1.3.7.

Thanks

...in the product preview page...
What you see there is the main image.
To my knowledge IH2 does not hover main images.

truechapin:

Again, not an IH2 question.
IH2 does not handle attribute images.
Search keyword "attributes" in download area, see what you can find there.

Sorry that I wasn't more clear, but I am talking about the admin side. On the admin side of the site, under admin>catalog>categories/products I am building a more customized page with thumbnails in the categories.php page and wondering if there is a way to have IH2 do it's magic there, on the admin side of the site.

Not to my knowledge, but I could be mistaken.

Okay, I'm confused here...

What image size (the small, med, or large) do we need for image handler and which folder does it go in?

I assumed (and that gets me in trouble) that we needed the 500 x 500 named like it is the 100 x 100 (as in no _LRG extension) and that it went in the image folder not the large folder.

Am I correct? This is how I saw it uploaded before:

Old structure:
store/image/picture.jpg (100 x 100)
store/image/medium/picture_MED.jpg (300 x 300)
store/image/large/picture_LRG.jpg (500 x 500)

Assuming now with IH2:
store/image/picture.jpg (500 x 500)
store/image/medium/ (nothing uploaded)
store/image/large/ (nothing uploaded)

Also, on my main page, on my live store, the image that shows under the product is the 100 x 100 preview. Right now, the image that is showing is the 500 x 500.

HELP!!!

This is on a test site.
