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

I'm surprised that I can't find posts about the default IH upload directory. Doesn't anyone wonder about being able to specify?

Can we define it? I want to use a subdirectory (Images .. subdir) for all uploads I do with IH. Can we set it somewhere or does it have to be a code change. If code, which file do you think? Thanks.

Thanks.The default directory can be specified if you upload the initial product image via IH2 (in other words you would create the product with NO image when you first create it and then use IH2 to upload the primary and additional product images)

Otherwise you specify the product image directory when you create the product and upload the initial product image. (the directory must exist for it to be available in the image directories -- Zen Cart assumes that this will be a sub directory of the "images" directory) After that IH2 saves all your additional images to the same location that you specified for your primary product image..

this is true...I rename my inages with the _01 or whatever number they need for the additional ones

then i place them into a folder without the main picture...then upload it to the spot we need it to be.

I have many vendors so I put the folder in the images foler/vendor name folder/product folder and enter that path into the place when selecting the main image from my computer....promos/vendor/product/

this way all vendor images are in one spot

the previously uploaded images will automatically appear when the main one is added

hope that doisn't confuse you

Now that I've got the additional images for my product, is there any way to indicate to the person shopping the site, looking at the subcategory page, that a product has more images? I'd like to put a short line of text like "More Pictures" or "More Colors Available" under the main product image on the subcategory page if there are additional images.

I've been playing around with statements like

if ($num_images > 0) echo ('<p>More Images</p>');

Honestly the way Zen Cart handles additional images is not altered at all by IH2 so this isn't as much of an IH2 question as it is a GENERAL Zen Cart question..:smile: I suggest posting this in the appropriate place on the forum for such questions if you'd like to get assistance with how to execute this..

I agree with you... sadly my thread in that section hasn't generated any ideas. I thought I'd post here in case any of the multiple image people congregating here had solved a similar issue.

Understood, but posting the link to your other thread might be a better way to approach this.. This way folks cans post their suggestions there, so we don't get into an off topic discussion on this support thread..:smile:

Sorry but my question didn't get answered:

Sorry if this has been mentioned before, but what size images should I be using for small, medium and large?

I'd appreciate advice on this as it's all a little confusing!

@towerheath,
Don't take this wrong, but you might want to look at the readme.html that comes with the mod.
Second item under Features.
I would suggest you decide on a standard load image size if possible.

I have tried too look for the answer but have been unable to do so... maybe the 600 page forum is blocking my capacity.

I have the latest version installed and the following happens:
some pictures: when the mouse hovers the small pic, it displays the large image, but some will display only the small image..but when the picture is clicked, the large file is loaded....

This often happens if you have had image handler running and then changed sizes, some set at the old size may still be cached

Have you tried clearing the imagehandler cache

tools --> Imagehandler --> click on the admin tab and select "clear image handler cache"

should fix it

if not post back with a URL, showing where this is happening and an example of each

the module was just installed yesterday.. and no, clearing the cache did not do the trick.

IH zoom small images not working on http://www.venturasvisions.com.au/editmenow/index.php?main_page=index&cPath=34

I have tried everything to get this working.

Possible causes:
changed of default images sizes?
installation of old 'template' mysql update patch? which changes default images sizes and add's things.

I have tied removing the 'template' files.

When I change back to the default zencart template (With IH2 files added) and hover over an image it create a big space at the top of the page.

... this is not the first time this has happened with my zencart installs (maybe bcuase of the templates I have been using with the mysql update patch

I have confirmed proper install and renaming YOUR_TEMPLATE (x 2) .

1. It doesn't appear that the files have been merged, when i look at the source of this page
   http://www.venturasvisions.com.au/editmenow/index.php?main_page=index&cPath=34

your listings have no trace of image handler code in them

<td class="productListing-data" align="">
<a href="http://www.venturasvisions.com.au/editmenow/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=34&products_id=86">
<img src="images/website jewellery 015.JPG" alt="test 2" title=" test 2 " width="93" height="137" class="listingProductImage" />
</a>
</td>

If Image Handler is correctly installed it should look more like this

<td class="productListing-data" align="center">
<a href="http://scrapbookoutletnz.co.nz/shop/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=1558_1559&products_id=14598">

</a>
</td>

as for the default template having a gap appear on imagehover thats happened before to people, normally it was caused by people not adding the image handler css file to their current template

Hello, anyone had a chance to view the code? Still having this issue mentioned on pp 600..

Versus folks having to go through your whole site to find products whichave the issue you describe, it's helpful to provide links/locations of specific examples where the issue occurs on your site..> antoniobb:

I don't have any image that shows up with my read/write reviews pages.

Is this related to IH? Thank you!

hello, I wanted to know which is the file goes to read the images created in the folder bmz_chache. Thanks

No, you are probably missing that image in (i think) /includes/templates/template_default/images/

If I remember correctly, it should be box_write_review.gif (but don't quote me on either).
