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

countrycharm:

If your cache is working right and you cleared it you shouldn't have all those images there that fast. Clear it 2 or 3 time and check. ummm something weird going on. Have you installed any new module before you insert new products to your store?

ok, tried to clear the cache a couple times through the admin interface, but doesn't seem to work. the bmz_cache folder still contains 16 folders with each having around 300 files in there.

tried to clear it manually (just renamed the original bmz_cache dir and created a new one) but this way, the shop uses the original full-sized images and just downscales them. is that normal? shouldn't IH2 create the resized images of the requested images automatically and put them in the bmz_cache directory?

Do this, go to your store admin/tools/image_handler/admin and click where it says Remove Image Handler from database. After that re-install it the same way. Clear your cache and see if that helps any. If not we can work on other things.

Is image handler supposed to resize the main image as well as the additional images?

tried that, but still, the problem persists. what other things do you have in mind?

Sorry to keep asking the same question, but no one ever answers and every time I check back there are a few posts here that push my question back a few posts and make it unnoticeable.

I'm trying to figure out how to apply the IH2 maximum image size setting to the main image as opposed to just the additional images?

Just to explain again, I have all my main images uploaded at 700px wide by 1050px high. Which in hindsight is too large for most screens.

So, I set IH2 in admin to IH large image maximum width 550 and
IH large image maximum height 825.

Now, when I click on additional images, they open at the 550x825 dimensions. HOWEVER, when I click on the main product image, it is still coming up as 700x1050.

Anyone know why the additional images are obeying the IH2 admin settings, but the main image is not?

I get a massive white space at the top of my page when I scroll down, anyone know why this is?

Insert this in your stylesheet:

#trailimageid{height:0px;}

Can anyone help me with my question above?

I've added the code but the white space is still there? :blink: any other possibilities?

try #trailimageid{display:none;}

limelites:

try #trailimageid{display:none;}

Thanks alot it worked :smile::clap:

You're welcome, that's what this forums is for, helping each other...

Can anyone help me with post #3944 above?

I checked and the images in a lot of cases are being pulled from the bmz_cache so image handler is taking care of them. I wonder if in some cases the images you have in the large folder with the _LRG on them are overriding image handler functions (which is how you override IH2).
as a side note your dynamic currency converter doesn't always work for everyone. I have yet to get it to finish loading, which means I never get the light box on the large images.

The main problem is that you don't have "ALL" of IH files uploaded.
Missing

includes/templates/pure_orange/css/style_imagehover.css

If you do upload this file you will have to undo Limelites's fix.

Interesting assumption re the _LRG images as I didn't used to use IH and so a lot of my ads are still using the old _LRG _MED structure. However, all of my new ads are using only one image in the main images folder, for example this ad. This doesn't have _LRG files and yet IH2 still opens the main image at full 700 wide resolution.

As for dynamic currency converter, I'm hoping you've experienced some sort of temporary glitch. It certainly loads for me real quick. Could you check again if you get a minute?

In short, none. I have no idea what to try. All I've thought of so far is to disable and re-enable IH via admin and to change the settings in admin to different sizes. Other that that nothing. I've considered uninstalling and re-installing IH2, do you think that'd help?

Your div #logo is 7 px higher than your image, hence the white space.

Limelites,
I checked one of my older installs of lightbox and IH2 and found that it exhibits the same behavior and thinking about it I do recall this is why we decided to upload the large images in the final size we wanted them to be displayed at. You will find that if you turn off the lightbox the large images will then display at the size you have specified. So IH2 is doing what it is supposed to but lightbox is overriding the behavior in regard to the main image.

You're dead right, I disabled Lightbox to test this and the main product image goes to the size specified in IH admin.

Hmmmm so now I know what's causing it, I need to figure out how to override it......

Any ideas?
