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

Hi Diva!

You said:

Gonna submit one more IH2 update (Rev 8b) to the downloads section.. I will make it available on my site (see siggy for link) until Rev8b is approved and available in the downloads section.

So I checked your signature, followed the link, and poked around your site. Specifically, I clicked on "Zen Cart Add-Ons". There was a list of mods that you described as having "been submitted to the Zen Cart downloads section and are still pending admin approval".

But notably missing was the IH2 update (Rev 8b).

If I went to the wrong place, could you point me in the right direction?

Thanks,
Mike

Sorry about that.. You didn't go to the wrong place.. I haven't posted the zip file yet.. I also asked the admins to hold off on the submission.. there was a slight discrepancy between ckosloff's and my test results of the new code. So I was waiting for a friend I had enlisted to test and to help validate the test results for the new package.

Also a few minor modifications were pointed out to me via PM that I needed to include in the IH2 module.. Should have everything all updated later this afternoon..

Thanks for the update, Diva.

Wonderful, I'll be back later this afternoon to see if you posted the zip on your site!

Thank you so very VERY much for all your hard work on this. Also, a big hip hip horaah! for all the other volunteers on this!

Much as I appreciate the work done on bringing this up to date, I think removing the hotzone is a retrograde step - the pop-up rapidly becomes incredibly annoying if it happens, as it will now, every time the mouse touches an image.

I don't see any difference at all in the behavior except you don't see that hotzone image overlay..:unsure:

All uploaded and posted.. Enjoy..:smile:

When the hotzone was switched on, the popup only occurred when you put the mouse on the cross-in-a-box rather than any time you touched an image.

However, having spent the past half-hour searching our clients sites so that I can give you a demo, can I find a single one that took my advice to set the hotzone on? No!! Therefore I concede that the majority opinion must be to not use the facility anyway! :D

But I thought it was good! :P

I understand how it was supposed to work, but honest to goodness Ryk, this feature has never worked for me on any of my older Zen Cart installs.. :smile: (which is why I was okay with it not being included/fixed in this release)

does IH2 also handle the category images? I have uploaded one image for each category, I also set the category to show up on the home page, but I noticed that the image for each category on the home page doesn't have the same size. anyone can help?

Thanks.

All uploaded and posted.. Enjoy..

Diva for Prez!!!! :D

Going to grab/install right now, thanks!

HELP! I tried to uninstall IH2 (version 2.0), leaving the modules files & template files intact (since they were original files, altho I don't know how to revise them to get them back to their original form.) Now my products have no image whatsoever. What do I do?

I'm returning to a back-up copy of all files, so I'm back at Square One to fix this. I do need to get rid of IH, tho. What is the right way to do this?

I got brave & reinstalled the new IH2, version 8. I've had to uninstall, tho, cuz the subcategory page will not load. Any ideas how to fix that?
I did notice on the admin-inc-mod-category_prod_listing, the new IH file is missing this:

*/
$products_query_raw = ("select p.products_type, p.products_id, pd.products_name, p.products_quantity,
p.products_image, p.products_price, p.products_date_added,
p.products_last_modified, p.products_date_available,
p.products_status, p2c.categories_id,
p.products_model,
p.products_quantity_order_min, p.products_quantity_order_units, p.products_priced_by_attribute,
p.product_is_free, p.product_is_call, p.products_quantity_mixed, p.product_is_always_free_shipping,
p.products_quantity_order_max, p.products_sort_order,
p.master_categories_id
from " . TABLE_PRODUCTS . " p, " . TABLE_PRODUCTS_DESCRIPTION . " pd, "
. TABLE_PRODUCTS_TO_CATEGORIES . " p2c
where p.products_id = pd.products_id
and pd.language_id = '" . (int)$_SESSION['languages_id'] . "'
and (p.products_id = p2c.products_id
and p.master_categories_id = p2c.categories_id)
and (
pd.products_name like '%" . zen_db_input($_GET['search']) . "%'
or pd.products_description like '%" . zen_db_input($_GET['search']) . "%'
or p.products_model like '%" . zen_db_input($_GET['search']) . "%')" .
$order_by);

Do I need to put that back in the IH file?

I'm not a programmer, so would REALLY appreciate any help!

I'm having one, small problem. The images I'm using are png with a clear background. IH is resizing and maintaining the png file extension but NOT maintaining the clear background. They are white, like a jpg.

I thought IH could handle png's. Am I missing something??

I always suggest to folks reading through the support thread as the answer to your question is probably already posted.. In this case if you page back 2 or 3 pages, you will see that this was pointed out and discussed. As a result a new version of IH2 was submitted which corrects this.. (Rev8b) Read through the threads as it might help you understand how to correct your IH2 install in the meantime..

Check your settings for the following:
IH small image background
IH medium image background
IH large image background

the default setting is 255:255:255

255-255-255 = White

From the readme:

These settings can be changed at will to suit your needs, I put these sample settings here just to give you an idea of how to configure this.

Please also read the manual and the documentation at https://www.breakmyzencart.com

Hope this helps..

I was hoping there was a setting some place! Thanks for pointing it out DivaVocals.

hcYou do not appear to have the latest version of IH2 installed at all.. The version of the javascript (which drives the hover) you have in your store is the wrong version.. You need to rename the "custom_template" folder in /includes/templates/custom_template/jscript and copy ALL the files and folders to your store.

Hi Diva,

Thanks a lot for your help and reply.

I am still not very clear what is to be done. This is what I did today.

1.) Downloaded the latest version of IH2 from zencart downloads.
2.) Uploaded all the files as it is.
3.) Removed the Image Handler from Admin > Tools > Imahe Handler2
4.) Installed it once again and cleared the cache

Please tell me where am I going wrong?

Thanks a lot

hc
