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

soxophoneplayer:

Then I noticed that my third photo was showing as a .jpg while the others were showing as .JPG Windows@#$#*$7 doesn't seem to want me to have any say over that matter and I can't rename the extension from lower case to upper case the way I could in XP.

My camera came with Picture Project, which is limited and now dated since I changed computers to Win7 64 bit. PP saves jpegs as .JPG and that's what my main photo and 2 additions photos were don on.Sounds like the issue is Picture Project and not Windows 7. I can rename file extensions from upper to lower case with no issues whatsoever in Windows 7 as well as Window XP..

soxophoneplayer:

So..... .jpg and .JPG are not the same thing. Who knew!In the world of Unix, upper and lowercase characters are seen as being different. Which is why as a force of habit I use either ALL lowercase letters for file names eg: image1.jpg or mixed case when I want more meaningful file names without using spaces eg: theRedFoxJumpsImage.jpg. In either case my file extensions I ALWAYS ALWAYS rename to use lowercase letters..

soxophoneplayer:

My third additional photo was saved from an edit in Photo Studio 6, which saves jpegs as .jpg

So I had to import the photo from PS6 folder into PP, and then save it, which turned it into a .JPG and now all is well on the farm.

So..... .jpg and .JPG are not the same thing. Who knew!

thanks for letting us know...that s something I would not have thought of either....jpg and .JPG to me is the same but like most internet things it must be case sensitive...lol

ZC 1.3.7
(Zen Cart Module: Image Handler 2 {Installation Problem})
(Xoops 2.4, {Xoops Module: zox})

Problem Installing Image Handler 2 into the zox Module.
Site: http://montereybayimages.com

I have Zox installed and working in XOOPS. I am having a problem getting Image Handler to work after installing it in Zox. Specifically, Image Handler does not show up under the Admin-Tools menu in ZC.

The Store_Root folder is installed in the Zox Module's root folder, zox, where the index.php file is located. I renamed admin to reflect the proper name for the zox admin folder. I renamed include/templates/YOUR_TEMPLATE folder to include/templates/ArkiTEC-HD Black, which is the template's name that I am using.

Then I installed the contents of the Store_Root folder into the zox store root, where index.php is located.

Problem:
In Admin, under Tools, I do not see see a new entry for Image Handler 2, which I can click on to "Install Image Handler". It appears that Image Handler 2 is not installing into zox, which is the Zen Cart Module for Xoopz 2.4. Fual Lightbox is working wonderfully under the Zox module. So, perhaps, I am installing into the wrong folder or template, I wonder???

firsst thing is you really should upgrade to zencart 1.3.8a for security reasons.

also in IH2...in the templates folder did you remember to also upload the files for the classic and default templates? they need to be uploaded regardless of what template you use.

make double sure you uploaded all the files correctly too

This is not completely true.. If you are not using the classic template, not installing the IH2 files to the classic template folder will not affect whether or not IH2 works...

Not familiar with how XOZ works, but if the core folder structure of Zen Cart is the same, you should just install IH2 to where ever your Zen Cart store is.

If that does not work, you may have to work with the XOZ module's author (I believe that is Hira), to see if there is some conflict with IH2 and XOZ.. This is possible given this particular author does have a track record for modules which do not play well with others.. (See WordPress on Zen for an example of this in action..) Hope I'm wrong, but given that you are working in a XOZ environment, it is hard to not factor in the posssibility that XOZ is the cause of the issues you are experiencing..

That said I would double check the install 1st and make sure you didn't miss any of the files in the upload. If you cherry picked files out of the install package, it's very possible that the module is installed incomplete..

or wait a few weeks/a month and upgrade to 1.3.9 lol

I have already tested IH2 and Zen Lightbox, both seem to work nicely. (so far :D LOL)

Any joy?

kaddie:

Nevermind, I decided to just remove the border and shadow.

I am using Image Handler 2 with Zen 1.3.8 for some reason when I click on the larger image, in the pop up box there is extra space on the left and right of the image. So you have to scroll to the right to see the whole image. Does anyone know where I can fix this?

TIA :)

Not likely an issue caused by IH2 at all. Image Handler very MINIMALLY affects the layout and look of images on pages. It's probably a stylesheet adjustment, which is not on topic for this particular support thread... Post your question in the forum with a link to your page so others can see your site and offer help..

Hi,

Image Handler2 helped my site pages load much faster, but
sometimes it changes my image permissions back to 666 in the bmz_cache directory. Then the large image zoom feature stops working untill I change permissions back to 644. Is there a way to stop this? Anyone else have is happen? I'm using 138a and have permissions set at 755 and 644.

Thanks.:smile:

the cache folder should be set to 755 or 777, i believe.

Thanks.:smile:Image Handler could NOT possibly affect your folder permissions.. You need to work with your host and find out why your folder permissions are changing the way that they do.

I had similar problem. I found a fix in post 3809 of this forum and it did resolve the problem for me.

Is it possible to modify image handler2 so that an arrow would appear to let you scroll to the next image on the page?

prellis:

I haven't figured out how to add additional images. If I add them like I do the base images, it renames them correctly base_01....but they aren't showing up ???? I searched but couldn't find an answer via the forum or your site...

I am having the same issue.

I sell lingerie and need to display different photos for the verious colours of my products.

I want this to display on the more information page of my products.

I had it working without this add on, but now I can't work out how to get the additional images to show up.

Can anyone help on this issue. It's a big one for me.

Pleeeeeease!!!!

Much thanks in advance.

This is covered in the readme BTW... Here is the LIKELY problem.. If your main product image and your additional images are not all the same filetype, then your additional product images WILL NOT DISPLAY. Image Handler DOES NOT KNOW the difference between a JPG or PNG file.. It merely uploads the files you select and re-names correctly them to follow Zen Carts rules for additional product images..** IF** your images are of all different filetypes (Main image is PNG and additional images are JPGs for example) then your additional product images WILL NOT WORK

Short answer not what the intent of this module is.. This is simply an image MANAGEMENT module.. You might want to look at a lightbox contribution or another such image display module

Thank you for the reply.

I'm new to ZenCart... which modul would you recommend to achive a feature such as this one: http://www.huddletogether.com/projects/lightbox2/#example

With the "next" and "previous" image feature?

thanks.

http://www.zen-cart.com/index.php?main_page=product_contrib_info&products_id=830

or

http://www.zen-cart.com/index.php?main_page=product_contrib_info&products_id=273

both do the same, but i'd suggest setting up a test site and trying both... for me, i like zen lightbox the most

hope it helps and good luck!

I'm happy to reply provide feedback if you start a new thread on the topic.. A general lightbox discussion is WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY off topic for this support thread.. In the README file, we (ckosloff and myself) make suggestions on lightbox contributions we tested with the current version of Image Handler.. Please read throgh the README that comes with Image Handler, and then take a look through the free downloads for lightbox contributions which work with Zen Cart..

PLEASE start a new thread or checkout the support threads for the modules you are interested in if you want more feedback/discussion from the community on this topic.. :smile:
