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

flirt4:

Hi, the problem is only when i use Image Handler addon, site work ok if i use standart ZC images. Yes the picture is big, but i`m set to IH settings to resize it to 700x400px, and mybe there are problem in the IH scripts when process the image.IH2 works and works well.. However there may be a file size limitation. Which is not a problem it is simply a limitation.. No matter, what we are saying is you should try re-sizing your image before uploading it with IH2 and see if you get a different result.. We believe that the issue is that you are attempting to upload a VERY large image (possibly TOO large) and that may be the reason you are having the issue.. Try re-sizing the image your 2592 X 3872 image to a smaller dimension and then try the upload again.

This a nice plug-in, I love it, thanks:smile::smile:

What is the most recent version? I am planning on implementing on my live site soon and wanted to know if I should do it now or the new release is out soon?

I am on 1.3.9B

Thanks for the great plug in.

I am having serious problems with IH2. I have changed the main image on some of my products and now NO additional images show on the site, but they show in IH2. I have tried setting file permissions, re-uploading the IH2 files, and some other things people suggested. But the additional images for those products still dont show.

Also when I look at the HTML of my product i see that the additional images code returns nothing:

Also when I look at the HTML of my product i see that the additional images code returns nothing:

<!--bof Additional Product Images --> <!--eof Additional Product Images -->

The most common reason for additional product images not showing is that they are not the same format as the main product image. For example the main product image is JPG and the additional images are PNG..

As indicated in the readme, IH2 does not stop you from doing this, but it will presume that additional images are the same format as the main product image and name the additional images accordingly. This of course will render the images un-readable..

Regarding next version: I'd rather do it well than do it fast.
Upgrade instructions have to be written, changelog has to be in place, updated settings for the Images page, etc.
If in a hurry, just use rev. 7, it will work fine on all environments, please understand that the next version is an improvement on something that works without problems now.
Upgrade from rev. 7 will be just looking at the changelog and uploading new files.

Yep ckosloff is the REAL worker bee here..:clap: I am just the tester and the writer (of the readme doc.. not the code.... :laugh:)

I looked more into it. Some images will show and others wont. All of the images are JPG with a quality of 10.

I played around some more and found a solution. It turns out the extension is case sensitive, so my images with .JPG extension would not work with. jpg :clap:

I cannot get this to work properly on zencart 1.3.9b running on a php 5.3 server. But it works great on a zencart 1.3.8a website running on a php 5.2 server.

please advice

Would I need jlightbox module if I installed this?

Thanks!

It should work, the functions different between php5.2 and 5.3 are only depreciated, are you seeing error messages?

Hi,

I cannot get png files to show up. If I look on the server in the bmz_cache folder the png files are there but if I try to edit them with photohop I get an error message saying that the file cannot be parsed.

I cannot get png files to work in either v1.3.8a or v1.3.9b.

All other files types work... Does anyone know why this would be?

The only thing that springs to mind is png support not being enabled

In you Zencart Admin section

Click on "Version"

and find the gd section

and it should say something like this

GD Support enabled
GD Version bundled (2.0.34 compatible)
FreeType Support enabled
FreeType Linkage with freetype
FreeType Version 2.2.1
GIF Read Support enabled
GIF Create Support enabled
JPG Support enabled
PNG Support enabled
WBMP Support enabled
XPM Support enabled
XBM Support enabled

If the line in red isn't there, then that'll be your problem

I checked and it says that PNG Support is enabled... I have tried everything. PNG files work fine if I turn off image resizing. Any more help would be greatly appreciated.

when you load the first image is it .png or .PNG it seems to be case sensitive and if you are not exactly the same as the first image of the product then you will not get them to be seen.

smae as .jpg if you load up jpg frst then the additional ones need to be jpg for that product.

they are all lower case .png...

have you made entirely sure that all files are uploaded in the proper places?
