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

Okay, just installed Image Handler after trying it out on my localhost site where it worked fine. The basic functionality is working fine on my live site except that I no longer see my featured products on my main page. If I select the featured products link on my home page it pulls them up.

homepage is: https://www.amendmentarms.com

Thanks!

Are you sure you turned on featured products to display on the main page when you moved the site over?? Could be that simple.. IH installed correctly would not affect the ability of featured products to display on the main page..

Replace with...Ciao
Grazie per contribuire.
I have never tested ZL 1.4.
However rev 7 worked fine with 1.3 and 1.5.
If replacing the file with the one included in rev 7 solves the issue, then great.
My suggestion would be to overwrite all IH2 files with the ones in rev 7, just in case.
Ciao.

Yup. Course I opened up my localhost session and it's missing from there now too.

Curious...

Your main page is not loading correctly, in fact it is fails half way.
When I go to one of your product page, then that page will load correct.

Could be you have a corrupt image.
Zen Cart will stop loading when it tries to load a corrupt image.

Couple posts back, ckosloff list a few no-no's that can cause this.
Another is uploading a large size file(s) that the server times out on trying to process the file(s).

My page is loading fine both in IE and Firefox on my laptop. Wonder what's up there.

I will go back and look at that post. Thanks.

did not load at all for me.
Check server error logs with your webhost.

Looks like the server is actually down with my hosting site. I could not hit the site or the admin or the FTP so I called my host and it is a server problem. Should be fixed in an hour or so....more to come!

Okay, the server and the site is back up.....

Ok...I give up...

I've been wrestling with Image Handler for hours. I have Zen Lightbox installed, in conjunction with Image Handler. Now...neither one work. In the product listing, the image for the product is present. Then, when you click on the product, which would take you to just that product by itself, there is a broken picture link. Then, when I click on "larger image," not only does Zen Lightbox not work, but a completely empty pop up appears. I've tried uninstalling Image Handler (uninstalling in the admin AND deleting all files associated with image handler...and replacing the necessary files from my backup like html_output.php, etc.), and I ended up with an assortment of yummy errors, most of which were fatal. This post may not be as succinct as it needs to be, but my patience has been pushed to the limit with this blasted mod. In retrospect, I shouldn't have installed either...and I know, I know, I should've made a backup of all my files and database. I didn't, and now I'm paying for it. Lesson learned...now...if anyone can help me, please do so...if I had hair, I'd've already torn it out!

Help has already been handed out abundantly to you with a mod that works flawlessly in conjunction with ZL.
Instructions in the readme cannot be clearer, if you follow them you would not be deleting files, restoring from backup, or whatever you are doing.
If you look back there is also a restoration.zip to help you out, and abundant instructions in very clear terms.
If with all this help you are still unable to install such a simple thing, yes, you should really give up and look for another source of income.
Or hire somebody to handle the website for you.

It was overwhelmingly unnecessary to be so scathing in your reply. I have seen several posts by you, Mr. Ladywig.com, and I am convinced that you are an ###### simply for the fun of it. Thank you for your completely worthless reply.

jdw1979:

...this blasted mod...
Look who's talking about scathing.

ckosloff:

Just an observation,
You seem to have taken over the support of this module,

Notice I said SUPPORT...

your reply to the poster was not SUPPORT it was a blaze and completely disrespectful....

Apparently this module isnt so simple to install for all folks,
if it was then there wouldnt be 4329 Posts,

so rather than getting defensive thinking that your code is being criticized, take the time to read the question and try to answer their questions.....

ckosloff:

Look who's talking about scathing.

My reference to "this blasted mod" was simply to express my frustration. It was not intended to be a criticism of the coding of this contribution to the Add ons. I have seen ImageHandler work beautifully on several sites. So, I apologize for my comment having been offensive. Though I still maintain that your reply could have been more professional. I also urge you to consider being more diplomatic and tactful in general. It seems that you have taken a "holier than thou" approach in several of your replies on multiple threads. This approach isn't helpful in any way and only discourages users from utilizing this excellent Zen Cart software and taking advantage of the outstanding support that one can find on this forum.

Now that that's overwith...

I got the Zen Lightbox to work, I'm still trying to figure out what I did wrong with the Image Handler installation. The product images are still not appearing when a product has been selected.
Here's a screenshot:

Merlinpa,
You seem to be addicted to derogatory comments about the personality of contributors.
I have read your rant calling Berezin a pompous ###### and now this ridiculous rant.
Please, go ahead and do the support if you feel like it, I did not take anything in my hands.
Why don't you post an answer to this guy's rants instead of talking about my "defensive" attitude?
As Berezin said, this is not surprising coming from you, grow up.

A link helps us help you.
Plus... what template are you using? If it is a TM template we can only say sorry not much we can do.
Why did you replace html_output.php? The latest versions of IH (since 2006) doesn't touch this file.
Check folder permissions are correct.

lol, your kidding right...
I wasnt ranting, I made a civil statement....

You jumped all over that guy even telling him to "really give up and look for another source of income"

thats all I was refering too.

If you cant tell the difference between me being Civil and actually ranting you need to read older posts.....

but with that said since one cant even make a civil comment to you, i guess I will go back in my corner and watch the rest of this thread....

I'm using the "PureBlue" template from zencartpower.com. The link is http://crnastore.com/zencart. The site runs really slowly right now, pay that no attention. I'll be moving to a dedicated server once the site is ready to go live. And, I'm unsure of what folder permissions to use...bmz_cache needs to be writable, I assume...any thoughts?

Thank you Tophand for replying to my post.

Those were his own words.
I don't need lessons on civility from a guy who insults contributors and screams at customers.

Please take your impressions, perceptions, or whatever you want to call them (since you don't think rants is appropriate), off this support forum.
Nobody is interested in your nonsensical disquisitions, least of all myself, in forum language that is called "flooding", or "trolling".
I already gave a support answer, if you thought it was inadequate, you should just have posted a better one.
I hope you keep your word and stay back in your corner.
