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

I KNOW you don't want to hear this, but seriously... You REALLY should switch hosts or at least your hosting setup..

That said all of the hacks to support operating IH2 in a safe mode environment are posted on the original developers website, and there are remnants of it in the IH2 code (ALL commented out as of Rev 8c)..

This is the only specific "Safe Mode" hack that Tim included in the code and though I've NO WAY of testing it you could give that a try.. Search this thread or Tim's site (http://breakmycart.com) for "Safe Mode Hack" to get more information..

Otherwise my suggestion is to take the time to go through process to update your site so that you are not operating your site in safe mode. Getting IH2 to operate in safe mode without using the Safe Mode Hack to my knowledge will require some serious custom code changes. (None of which I can assist with) Perhaps one of our more code capable community members can help you with a solution..:smile:

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?

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 insteadAhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!! I see.. Wish I had an answer.. (so helpful huh??:laugh:) Seriously maybe one of our resident code brainiacs knows the answer.. (I'd be curious about this too come to think of it..)

ZC 1.38.8a
PHP Version: 5.2.5

Imaging Addons:
IH2 v2.0
JQZoom
JQLightbox

The example: http://minu.me/2nhk

I'm having an issue with IH2 and the order in which it displays additional images. Maybe I just have yet to understand how to make it work for me but, I've tried different combinations of image uploads and have used the _underscore for IH2 to recognize an image to be "additional".
SEE Attached for current configuration for the above link.

I want to achieve the following:
Main product image + JQZoom to large version.
Click on Main product image to show additional images in a specific order.
Don't really care if TTP has the Additional Image Tab with extra images.

Thank you.

DarkAngel:

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

i have not installed or changed anything software wise on this site in over a year.. i just 'upgraded' image handler and it actually got rid of the problem i was having with png files and i can now use them BUT the zoom on additional images is still not working..

it should be a relatively easy fix since i can see the URL that is trying to execute - it just doesn't access the images...

skinzee.com/popup_image_additional/pID/189/products_image_large_additional/images/screenshotsylish_01.jpg

even though there is a file called 'screenshotsylish_01.jpg' in the images subfolder..

@tyankee

sorry I did not realize you were talking about the latest version of IH2...I am still using the one offered in the downloads [[see siggie of mine]]

I am waiting to see if there are many with trouble after updating it or not...lol mine works great as is for now so am happy.

sorry I can't be of any help

You have a url rewriting mod working, somehow it seems to be effecting the URL, are you sure it is set up correctly?

because the URL you have listed above is completely invalid, it should be like the below

http://skinzee.com/images/screenshotsylish_01.jpg

This was a problem a couple of years ago with ssu? rewrites or something

you need to add the additional images thingie to the Exclude list in your rewrite manager thing, sorry can't really remember

here we go try this

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:

This Code Generates the wrong image:

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

Thanks :)

Anyone knows the code to pull out the image? :(

Alright i know this is in regards to ih2 but Say I ddint really want to do any addons such as these and wanted to just have the larger images open up in a new window as they currently do?

How in the world do I get them to actually get bigger when opening that window instead of staying the same size they are in the description?

Hello

Got a really weird thing happening - using zencart 1.39e (upigraded from 1.39d), with the latest image handler - everything works, displays perefectly image wise (as it always does) but I just don't have a Image icon or link from the catalog>categories/products page - the big Pink Icon normally sits to the far right of the product name - but for some reason I am missing this.

Totally banging my head against a brick wall - I have checked that the icon is in the right place, I have reftp'd all the image handler files 1 at a time, I have installed and reinstalled, cleared the cache etc.

Stuck any help much appreciated any solutions and I'll buy you a beer or 2 (or a coffee)

Ok I've got the image handler icon/link back on the product/categories page it - some admin files (not image handler files) had got corrupted via ftp.

All admin files have now been replaced and I'm cooking again with zencart.

I'm sorry to interrupt the work being done on the new revision but I'd appreciate anyone giving me a quick understanding of what I'm doing wrong or what IH2 v2.0 might be doing wrong.

ZC 1.38.8a
PHP Version: 5.2.5

Imaging Addons:
IH2 v2.0
JQZoom
JQLightbox

Here is another example.
http://minu.me/2rtz
Please see the attached for a look at the IH2 admin side.
I've done several different combinations of images but cannot get them to show in the order I'd like.
For the most part I'd like to have just three images, small, med and large load when JQZoom opens but I cannot get them to load in the order I'd like.

Thank you,
Stephen

hello,

is this mod compatible with zen cart 1.3.9e?

thx

Yes I am using it with 1.3.9e, with a caveat the additional images file in 1.3.9e was altered to fix a bug, so you will need to merge the file with the one provided by image-handler, or try PMing DivaVocals as there is a new version coming out shortly or being tested at the mo

Ok, I downloaded the software and did this: changed the only custom template folder in the module to reflect my custom template folder's name. Then, I uploaded everything to my site overriding all existing files. Then, I went to my admin panel to click the "Install Image Handler" but I never found anything to click under the tools menu. It seems as though I'm supposed to use an install sql patch like I have with all my other mods but there isn't one to use here, right? Any idea what has gone wrong?

If you are using ZC 1.3.9+

did you also change the name of the admin folder in the IH2 download to match the name of your ZC admin folder?

It seems I forgot to rename my admin folder. Thanks, I'll give that a shot.

For some reason I am having an issue with my latest install of IH2. I have probably installed it 50 times and never had this issue! The main product image is showing from the bmz_cache, but when you click the larger image link, the larger image isn't coming from the bmz cache. Also, the popup box is the right size for the image, but the image is displayed way off to the right, so there is a bunch of white space on the left and you have to scroll to the right to see the full image. I've uninstalled and reinstalled several times and cannot figure out what the issue is with the large images. Can anyone help? Here is a link to a product on the site:

http://leelagracejewelry.com/zencart/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=1&products_id=57

It is version 1.3.9e with the latest version of IH2.

Thanks!

Here's a link to a product with an additional image:
http://leelagracejewelry.com/zencart/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=3&products_id=94

Both the main image and additional image are being pulled from the bmz_cache, but the larger versions of them are not.

Thanks!
