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

Image handler has been running great for awhile now. But I just noticed that images don't seem to be loading from the bmz_cache from my featured box:
http://beta.buydentalequipment.com/about_us/

I took a peek at sideboxes/tpl_featured.php and tpl_specials.php and I didn't notice anything different with the zen_image links. Specials box works just fine.

Just wondering if anyone knows why it works on one and not the other?

I suspect its because that image is "smaller" than the "small" image size.
So..... IH doesn't size it "up" it leaves it as is. It doesn't need to use the cache as its the original image.

PS: Your image sizes could use a bit standardization. They seem to be all different sizes

That was it. It turned out to just be one particular picture in the featured category.

The images are a mess. I've been slowly cleaning them up. They used to have the wrong extensions.. IH2 didn't like that.

Hi, I have run into some problems with IH. I have the latest d/l of zen. I have used IH before so I am clueless as to why the images are duplicating the same number. I am also using Zen Lightbox. I have attached a pic.

Any thoughts?

Hi DivaVocals,
Thank you for responding.

On Nov 3 you said:

I've got to be honest.. I've NEVER been able to get the watermarking in IH2 to work correctly, and I decided to let that battle go.. My clients now use a watermarking tool that batch processes whole folders of files.. Then they upload the watermarked images via IH2.. I know that's not the solution to what's wrong with IH2, but it is a viable alternate solutionif it helps.

Should I stop looking or is there a solution after that?
Thanks DivaVocals.

Hrmm.. had this same problem on my beta site just now. Finally tracked it down.

includes/modules/YOURTHEME/main_product_image.php

Hadn't copied it over to my new theme :)

could someone tell me how i would rename the bmz_cache folder? we seem to have a few unrelated php files appearing in this folder and if someone could tell me which file (and which line number) i edit to enable another cache name to be used i would appreciate it.

regards

Lyn

The file controlling the cache folder is:

/includes/extra_configures/bmz_io_conf.php

I have not changed the name, so I don't know if you have just change it or if there's more to it than that.

worked a treat - many thanks!

I'm using zencart 1.3.8a with ih2 image_handler__for_vx_Ver2-0rev7 and jq zoom Version: 1.5

Have a problem with multiple images. If I add 3 images all appears to work well and ih shows resized images but on the product page the last image is squashed. If I look at the html source for the product detail page the product images are the large size image and scaled to fit.

So ih2 doesn't appear to be resizing and also has the wrong size for the last image uploaded. Have I done something wrong? Please help.

I just installed IH2 a few days ago & have been unable to get additional product images to show. I've read through many posts on this thread and others about this issue and have attempted the suggested fixes (including installing the restore patch), but have not been able to resolve the problem. I'm using the latest IH2 on a test site with Zen Cart 1.38.

Thanks!

Thanks!Link to site might help the community help you.. Also do ANY of your product names contain double or single quotes??? If they do and you've read through this thread, you would have seen posts where it's been discussed that single and double quotes in product names will cause issue with this mod displaying additional product images..

Oops, sorry. Very much in development but here's an example http://www.imakerdev.co.cc/ursulaodette/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=3&products_id=8
If you hover over the thumbnails the main image goes short and fat. Really appreciate you having a look.

JimSorry I don't see the behavior you describe at all.. I do see the image swapping effect though (very cool)

A quick question please: I currently have IH 2.0 for zen 1.3.7

I would like to upgrade to IH2 v2 rev 7 as I understand this also fixes the IE hover issues (where image can disappear out of visual site)

As far as I see it's a very simple over right to the existing vs above.

*  Rename \includes\templates\YOUR_TEMPLATE to match your template's folder name
* Rename admin to match your admin folder name (if you have renamed your admin folder)
* FTP to your site
* Go to Admin > Tools > Image Handler and click on the "Install Image Handler" link

The only concern I have is I also have the JS scroller installed, will this be affected by the upgrade.

Thanks for your assistance
RR

RRDunno for sure.. To be safe you should compare your other module files to the IH2 module files before installing and merge any changes in the common files..

Thanks for that,

I can confirm that installing this module was so simple I went to make coffee, also got rid of the clutter as per instructions:
* A shopad folder was added, which was a duplicate of the admin folder and served no purpose, probably inadvertently left over by the original developer.
* In the admin/includes/modules a corrupt file was left behind: category_product_listing.php.patch
This module does not interfere or overwrite any files from the JS Scroller sidebox package vs1.

One last question if I may, how can I increase the size of image that I hover over.

I will post my settings below. Thanks RR

Thanks for the compliment. Of the 3 pics the one with the handbag is an original image size of 710 x 1645 that was uploaded using ih2. On the page it is shown resized to 153 x 260 when it should be 112 x 260 and so squashed.

IH2 doesn't seem to have resized and saved the pictures though it shows the sizes.

Totally confused.

Totally confused.I understand what you are saying, but I don't see SQUASHED looking images at all when I look at your product pages..

Nevertheless IH2 seems incomplete on your site.. You should review all of your IH2 settings and the image swapping module you are using.. It's possible that there are files that the image swapping module has in common with IH2. If you haven't merged the common files, you could end up with the issues you are currently having.. You will need to merge those changes in the common files using a program like Winmerge or Beyond Compare..

If I recall this correctly the product image and the hover are the medium images..
