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

tpeck:

I would ask why this thread should continue...

...since the persons in charge of the thread are in violation of the terms and conditions of the forum...

...and do not care about you or your opinions...

And when I tried to discuss an issue, provided visual FARTS as a response. I was disgusted.

If you do not want this response to your queries, I would say give these people...

...a big miss.

Want them to design your website? Why? They will be as rude to you as she was to me in this very thread.

I have had enough of these ugly people.

What the hell are you on about?

Clearly, you are not a person who understands what I was accused of in this thread (lovely - please go to bed):

Finger-pointing. Name-calling. Accusations. Insults.

Sorry, this was absolutely incorrect...and offensive.

I have yet to be apologised to.

What's your problem?

Should people be offended again and again and again in this forum?

Why?

You think so? Then write why...

I just don't understand how someone like yourself can complain so much about a service/product/support system that is completely free. And even go so far as to (attempt to) stigmatise the brand/website of someone who works very hard supporting & developing this mod.

Talk about ungrateful.

No one is forcing you to use Zen Cart, so why continuously bash the people who spend a lot of their own time supporting it (& more specifically the VERY HELPFUL handful of forum members who are actively developing & supporting this particular contribution via this thread IN THEIR OWN SPARE TIME).

It's so hard to respond to you.

Because you don't and won't respond to my concerns.

That's OK.

You get what you want from these people.

GREAT. I DON'T.

I would never waste my time with these horrible website design companies if their answer to my concerns is stupid animated .gifs that don't even belong on youtube.

I suspect that part of the issue you are having is in how you merge the files between the light box and jqzoom and IH2 files. Somewhere in one of the files that these three modules have in common is likely where the issue lies..

Sounds like in merging them the code needed for IH2's watermarking feature to work has been removed, replaced or disabled in some way.

Since there are other community members who've successfully used IH2 with the Zen Lightbox or Fual Lightbox contributions, I'd say the issue is in some of the code required for the jqzoom to work overriding the IH2 watermark code which is the cause of the issue..

I wish I could give a more specific answer, but I'm not familiar with the jqzoom module to know the exact cause..

Hi,
I am facing similar Watermark problem to what Lina is facing.

We have image handler , light box and jqzoom installed.

We upload the images in only one folder eg image/jackets/image.jpg (image_1.jpg, image_2.jpg), we normally do not use the Large and Medium folder.

We have activated the Watermark option for all image, however we only see it on the small images which are on the side boxes.

What should we do to see the watermarks on all image.

Any suggestions ?

Hello, back again? Feel like apologizing yet?

Why not? - I'm still offended.

Oh lovely, you are back again...

Remember, you accused me online of:

Finger-pointing. Name-calling. Accusations. Insults.

...care to rescind this or is this just some joke of yours?

PM me.. I'll get you the info..

*DV, could you give a little bit more details on how to create my own watermark files? Will any image file that has transparent background work? Thanks!

quote=DivaVocals;916842---To my knowledge the file must be a PNG file, and you would create your own small, medium, and large watermark files named the same as the ones that come with IH2.

your watermark should be the same size or a little bigger than the ones in the large or medium folders and named exactly the same for ease of upload

in your graphics program (photoshop):

1. make youre new document in the correct size and choose transparent background.

2. create your image as a design or text and if you can use styles then choose a clear one when you get it to look as you want it to look OR drop the opacity down as far as possible without it disappearing.

3. go to file menu and choose save for web then choose png in the next window and save it for upload.

4. upload and test it out to see how it looks then redo the .psd file until you get it to look right for you.

repeat the process of fix/save for web/upload until you have it the way you like

The showcase link on the original developer's site is broken. Can anyone please provide a link to a site which uses this module?

The showcase link on the original developer's site is broken. Can anyone please provide a link to a site which uses this module?

my shop has it installed and working very nicely too -- just follow my signature link to see it

just curious but why would one need the jqzoom addon if you have IH2 since it has its own zoomer.

never had this much trouble with a plugin before but now i've got another issue..

first issue - which was never resolved - is that i can't upload any PNG files - they just don't work..

second issue - which worked last time i looked - but is now not working - is the zoom on additional images.. when you try to zoom on them - nothing comes up but your background screen.. go to http://www.skinzee.com/website-templates-whmcs-hosting-c-1_22/whmcs-stylish-red-web-2-0-p-189 and click on additional images and you will see..

i would greatly appreciate anyone's help as i've read through all the documentation many times including fixes and can't figure it out..

i think i found the problem - but without a solution..

when the images are created it looks like they are stored in a bmz_cache folder - and this seems to be happening correctly..

but my website is looking for for the images with the following structure:

http://www.skinzee.com/index.php?main_page=popup_image_additional&pID=189&pic=1&products_image_large_additional=bmz_cache/5/5824220bc2a84ad863ade27e4869f3f2.image.530x550.jpg

and if you try this link, no image is shown.. yet the image at http://www.skinzee.com/bmz_cache/5/5824220bc2a84ad863ade27e4869f3f2.image.530x550.jpg DOES EXIST..

any ideas on why??

go to the tools/ih2 section and its own admin link and clear the image cache.

maybe that might help

ok then...have you installed or changed anything before this started happening?

Hi,

Whats the code to generate the cached product string within the tpl_product_info_display.php ?

$products_image_medium seems to be wrong :(

Example:
http://black-tactical.com/store/flashlights-fenix-flashlights-c-64_21_19/fenix-tk45-search-light-p-864

My Current Code:

<link rel="image_src" href="<?php echo "http://" . $_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'] . "/store/" . $products_image_medium; ?>"/>

This Code Generates the wrong image:

<link rel="image_src" href="http://black-tactical.com/store/images/medium/flashlights/Fenixtk45_MED.jpg"/>

Trying to get it to Generate the Cached Image of the Product:

<link rel="image_src" href="http://black-tactical.com/store/bmz_cache/e/efc94736b738ff0a30da52bbcbb3ab9a.image.250x250.jpg"/>

Thanks :)

Check your install and image settings.. if IH2 is not generating the cached images, it's likely that part of your install is missing files or your settings are incorrect.

No no, its working fine :P

I am trying to figure out what code to use so that it will put the cached image link on that code I am trying to create :(

Meaning I need to replace $products_image_medium with something else so that I get the product's cached image instead

Hello,

I'm running on a safe mode PHP environment.

My problem is that image handler won't process the images (resizing and watermarking). No error returned as it pass the unresized image normally. It works like normal zen cart image uploading (one image resized locally on browser).

I've read about a trick to change the group ownership to fix problems concerning this filesystem functions limitation. I tried to change the group ownership of bmz_cache folder and all php files in extra_functions (both admin and root includes folder).
But it still refuse to work. I'm wondering if anyone knowledgeable would know the specific files that I need to apply the group ownership that I missed. Btw, Image handler could make folders (I see them popping up) but there are no files in the folders.

If I use the ftp hack, I would blatantly violate the host's ToS and risk getting my account banned.

The host gives an option to use an environment where they disable the safe mode, but entering it will broke my zen cart installation.

Any thoughts other than switching host?
