Got problems with additional images size? try the 2.0-zc13I must respectfully dispute this.. ANY VERSION downloaded from Tim's site is

1. Outdated
2. Not PHP 5.3 compatible
3. Not compatible with the latest version of Zen Cart (Tims version is over 4 years old there have been MANY core Zen Cart changes since Tim's last release of IH2)
4. Does not contain ANY of the recent fixes and changes in the current versions of IH2 available (including the security issues recently addressed in Rev8c)

It is NOT recommended or suggested that anyone use the version of IH2 downloaded from Tim's site unless you are running a REALLY old version of Zen Cart (in which case my strong suggestion is that you should upgrade..)

From Tim's site:> Most up to date versions

Most up to date versions of image handler modified for current releases of zen-cart  can be found in the [zen-cart.com download section](http://www.zen-cart.com/forum/../index.php?main_page=product_contrib_info&products_id=117).  As I have no time to take care of this project, the zen-cart community  has continued to support and keep image handler up to date. This page  will still continue to exist though.Want to fix the additional images?? PM me for the latest and greatest version if IH2 (Rec8c). Hopefully we will be able to submit it to the downloads section this weekend. In the meantime PM me for the Rev8c version.

Wanna fix Rev8b?? The issue with additional images seems to only affect certain server configurations. This issue does not affect everyone.. It apparently depends on how your host has implemented PHP. I've posted this information before, but I'll re-post..

IF you are having issues with additional images AND you are running Rev8b (this is FIXED if you are running Rev8c) make the following MINOR change:
Find this around line 47

          if(preg_match("/" . $products_image_base . "/i", $file) == 1) {
```Change to this:

      if(preg_match("/" . $products_image_base . "/i", $file) == '1') {

Demo of IH2 Rev8c running with the latest version of Zen Cart (1.3.9f) can be found here:

Ver 2.0 Rev 8b, did not re-size additional images, so I accidently downloaded Image Handler 2 for v1.2.7 thinking I was getting an update, and that did not work so I downloaded tim's and that seemed to fix it. maybe I forgot to rename a folder for Ver 2.0 Rev 8b.. anyway....
thanks for your comments

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)

I am using the latest version of zencart, (upgraded to 1.39f) and I'm having the same issue. The pink icons are missing. They were there before the upgrade. Any suggestions?

Just so you know there have been a TON of changes and updates to IH2's and Zen Cart's core since Tim's last IH2 release.. I strongly suggest you double check all your IH2 files. Almost every file in the IH2 fileset has changed since Tim's last release. (especially changes that affect Zen Cart and PHP 5.3 compatibility)

The changes since Tim's last release also address a number of bugs in that very same fileset you are using.. Not to mention the improvements to the IH2 javascript are not in the fileset available on Tim's site..

Just something for you to consider..

Suggest double checking that all the IH2 files are there.. Also did you re-name your admin folder?? If so you need to make sure you rename the admin folders in the Zen Cart and IH2 filesets to match your custom admin folder name..

Tested and aside from the additional images issue that seems to affect certain host configurations (fix for this was posted a few posts back), Rev8b does indeed work with the latest version of Zen Cart.. Your mileage may vary.. Working on getting the Rev8c fileset submitted this weekend.. :smile:

Thanks! Reinstalled Image Handler and now the icons are there. Must have missed a file somewhere...

How are you uploading the image, and where are you uploading it to?

do you have a link to the product page this is happening on?

If you add the image via admin do you see the image in admin, on the preview screen?

normal upload as the client has done many times before. Image is viewable in product preview. Shows in image handler.

Once this is installed, can we safely delete the images in the regular /images/ directory? In other words, as long as we have the bmz_cache images in there, is there any need for the original /images/ folder?

Or are the original files still needed in the /images/ folder because the bmz_cache folder is constantly being rebuilt based on these source images?

Let me know. I've been using Image Handler 2 for a long time now, but I'm trying to clean up disk space, and didn't know if the original /images/ folder is still needed or if it could be purged nightly after the images are cached in the bmz_cache folder.

The bmz_cache folder only references your image(s), you still need to maintain your images in the images/ directory.

I am running 1.38a and installed the lastest and then removed it and installed the rev 7 (both seems to work) well kind of.

a little back ground first.

my old host over a year ago was so slow that i manually created images for the small, med and large files and placed them in the folders to get the site faster. sizes are 100, 200 and 400

i have over 10000 items so you see that this equals to over 30000 image files - this is what i would like to trim down.

Question-

Does IH2 recreate the images and i am in the same boat or does it just cache the med and large file image and then delete these at some point?

Now to some issues.

now when i have ih2 up and it show the three images for a item at the bottom. it shows the default (small) and the med and large and has the option to delete the med and large (now when i try to delete it says it is unable to locate image).

other error

uploading a image

when i find a image on my local drive and click save to have it upload (it states at the top of the screen image was successfully saved) but at the bottom it show this error. but the image is not really saved or uploaded.

Error!
Unable to determine the page link!
Function used:
zen_href_link('', '', 'NONSSL')

Error!

no special characters in image name or product names.
Images are all 5 to 7 numbers.jpg

Hi, what's happening with IH2 rev c?

Just wondered if it was going to be available in the downloads section? I did have your invite to have a copy via your website but i wanted to wait until it had been approved by the zen cart team.

Thanks
Michael

I would really appreciate RevC, really need resized images for the large version.

I would really appreciate RevC, really need resized images for the large version.Working on updating the readme file so I can submit it.. I'm afraid I've been swamped with work and projects so I'm a bit behind getting this finished.. PM me if you'd like instructions on how to get the latest version with all the corrections in the meantime..

i have now upgraded to the newest version of zencart and would like the link to the newest version of IH2.

I would send another PM to someone that i wont say why (But there id starts with a D) there box is FULL. Its nothing but LOVE man....

So if someone else got a link to the newest version they can send me. i would be thankful. you can PM me.

Thanks

Just wanna make sure it's clear to anyone running the Rev8c version of IH2.. If you downloaded it from my website you have THE version that will be submitted to the downloads.. So when it's available you WILL NOT HAVE TO UPGRADE.. The only people who should upgrade are those running any version of IH2 prior to the Rev 8c release.

As soon as I can I will finish up the readme and get it submitted. In the meantime anyone who wants Rev 8c can PM and I will send you the information you need to get it..
