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

Hi all,

I just noticed a new problem with IH2. I installed IH2 last month and installation was successful and was working fine until recently I found that the zooming feature is not working as it should.

I had the "Zoom small images" set to "Southeast", which is the default zoom location.

But for some odd reason, when I mouseover the thumbnails now the zoomed image is appearing in the Northwest corner of the page. At first I thought it was just my browser (firefox), so I tried IE and the same thing happened. I tried on another computer, and same thing happened.

I had to turn off the zoom in CONFIGURATION-IMAGES to stop this from happening. But I will turn it on again so someone can see it and hopefully let me know how to correct it.

My url is:

perfectlinkgifts.net/catalog

Any suggestions?

Thanks
Ed

I would be eternally grateful if someone could take a look at this store I am working on. I installed imagehandler ok [I am using the old version as couldn't get the newer one to work at all and I have the old one on both of my other sites] It has installed perfectly except it is not resizing or showing additional size images. When you click on a product and go to the main page the main image is also missing. I am installing on another persons site and they have a folder under public html where the site files are. Mine are directly under public html so I wondered if this was the problem or if I have just missed soemthing in my installation.
If you look at this page and then click on A little Fishy you will see what I mean. In Image handler only the default size shows.

Thank you in advance

Woohoo never mind I fixed it. prob must have been with me. I uploaded files agaoin and its working. thanks anyway :smile::smile:

I am ready to give up on this add-on, any other I can use to make the images watermark?
I use this one and Lightbox, so really cannot recommend.
You can try Fual Slimbox, in download area.
However, with so many users, I wouldn't blame the mod.
You can install a copy of Zen Cart (without any templates) in your local test site, and try IH2 there.
I would like to know what happened when you uploaded that new test product:
did you see the 3 sizes?
what did the legend on top say?

I am considering using IH2...but have this question.

At this point not all of my products have images...and in many cases it may well remain that way for some time. Recently I was able to work out a way so that on the product details page for those products I did not have to utilize the "no image available" box and also could get rid of the "larger image" link. (You can see the discussion of this issue at this link: http://www.zen-cart.com/forum/showthread.php?t=133044

Essentially what was involved was to modify main_product_image.php to create flags depending on whether or not there was an image for the product. Then if not, tpl_modules_main_product_image.php would delete the "larger image" link from the product details page.

So...first, is there anything built into IH2 which allows one to automatically delete the "larger image" link in the product detail page if there is no image.

Alternatively do you think that the following would work when using IH2:

adding the following to your version of main_product_image.php

$imageflag=1;
if ($products_image_base==''){$imageflag=0;}

The '' above represents two single quotes not a double quote....representing the situation when there is no image name.

Then in tpl_modules_main_product_image.php adding code (which already exists in my version) which essentially says that if $imageflag is not equal to 0 then include "larger image" link...but if equal to 0 then don't include it.

I know that I could install IH2 and try this out, but I just thought I would check with you first before I go and modify all the files that I need to change and install IH2 to see if you have a thought about this. You may immediately know that this won't work...if you don't know one way or the other, I can try it and report back and see if it does.

Thanks, Ken

I use IH2 on all the zencart sites I've installed and the watermark seems to work fine, except on this last one and there is nothing different between the sites when it comes to which mods are installed extra. Basically, the only difference between the sites are the products loaded and the colors of the design LOL.

I have overwritten the default watermark.png images (all 3), as I could barely make out the originals .... and yet there is no watermark on the images.

Yes, I did change the settings within Configuration>Images on all 3 sizes for watermarks to show.

But nothing shows.

I've now done the same watermarks at .gif with transparancy on and still nothing. sniffles I need watermarks urgently ...

Need to upload "ALL" of the IH files.
Always double check that you uploaded everything.

Hi,
I'm considering adding Image Handler 2 and Css buttons to two zen cart sites that are slow loading.

There is a How to Image Preparation in Zen Cart form listing one way to optimize images.

With Image Handler 2, you upload the large file only. As it shows optimization default at 85%, I assume Image Handler does the compressing for you.

As these sites are graphic intense, I'm curious if anyone knows which method would result in a faster loading page if I were to optimize each of the three sizes before uploading, or uploading just the large images to IH?

Thanks,
Sandy

This the only product you have with additional images?
Do you have additional images turned on?

Check the size of the image you loaded for that one.

My largest image size is set to 500 x 500 but sometimes my co-owner likes to try and slip bigger ones in thinking she can get away with it.

I always catch her because they are the ones that are static images. IH won't create the "pop up" for the ones that are the wrong size as stated in your image set up.

If you load a large image that is bigger than the large size stated in your image set up, it will show but it won't greate the effects like it will with the correct size.

Ok, I got the image handler to work, some what. I finally figured out what the problem is.....the solution well that is why I am back here.

It seems there are conflicts between the multiple javascripts I am running on my template. When I switch to another template that doesn't have all the javascripts of the other one, it works!

it seems the photo slideshow javascript is loading at the same time the Ih2 and lightbox javascripts, which causes one or the other to not load.

QUESTION: How do I go about resolving the conflicts?

JE2009:

QUESTION: How do I go about resolving the conflicts?
Your IH2 javascripts need to be in the jscript folder of your custom template, not in template-default.
There is an alternative solution, which I posted earlier, but try this one first.
Have never tested IH2 with those other javascripts running so cannot tell.
If everything is in your custom/jscript folder and they still conflict you have to look into code.

Read this and subsequent discussion.
Try renaming or moving some of the javascripts in the custom/jscript folder that doesn't work to isolate the issue.
Then see what is conflicting.

hello - i installed IH2 on 1.3.8

i think it works as designed except that i do not get any rollover images when i go into categories -- only when go one step futher into the product detail do i get a rollover image.

how can i setup IH2 so that when i click on categories/featured products/new products/etc i get rollover images.

on a related note -- i have a review box on the left side when i click on categories and when i rollover a review image a medium size rollover image appears. However non of the prooducts that are below my category heading have rollover images. Please advise. thanks.

hey -- sorry for the newb questions.. i thougth i had all of the ones i needed the same size but it looks like i missed a couple :).

subsequent question: i only have 25 products and they are listed 1 per line on one page. when i get down past product 3 all the rollover images are stuck on top of product 3. so for products 4..5...6... the rollover image of each of those products is positioned on product 3.

is this another configuration error? thanks.
