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

I have a question about the roll over images. Right now when I roll over my small images there is a hovering pop up window but the image in the hovering window is not any bigger then the original small image I am hovering over. I have been searching all over trying to find out how I make a small image to be enlarged to a medium or large image in the floating window.:frusty:

Hi Scrat,

this looks like I goofed when I setup the site,
I missed an / from /home

I downloaded the latest version of the Image handler from author's site:
image-handler_2.0-zc13.zip and installed on my Zen Cart 1.3.7

Before I ask questions please specify if the version of IH
image_handler__for_vx_2.0v0916.zip (available in ZenCart dowloads) is newer or older? and if it is newer my problems may go away...?

It greatly improved the quality of the images.

Now - the problems I'm having w/ Zooming. I have uploaded all my images to the zencart /images directory and set zooming to "yes" plus the hotzone to "yes" for small images. The little zoom.png symbol is not showing up and no medium images pops up when I move mouse courson over small images. What am I doing wrong?

Also I'm only able to add images to the product with "Select image from server" button when they are already uploaded to my server. I cannot use Browse for images button when trying to select an image from my computer to be uploaded - nothing happens.

And finally when using preview feature in IM's Admin (uder Tools) all images are just transparent icons w/ red "X" in the center for all 3 file types. AND under Manager tab all 3 images foe a selected product show as small icons but all 3 the same size (w/text description indicating their respective size)

Here is the link to my site:
http://www.time-co.com/zencart/index.php?main_page=index&cPath=1_17

I would appreciate your help. Thanks.

Hi I am getting the above error if I try to log into my admin pages, I have just migrated to a new host and I am trying to get the admin pages working. I think it may be permissions but do not seem to find which file is wrong any ideas?
Have you got SEO URL's installed? IF so, ensure that you have the correct configuration in your .htaccess file on your new host!!!

Has anyone had an Issue with PNG files not working correctly?

When you add an image as a PNG to a product it kills the product,
and in the preview the png images do not show up,

however the small cross hairs png does show up?

OK, I've started over with a clean install of Zen-Cart 1.3.7. I then install Image Handler (no other add-ons), and it won't work. When I look at the preview page in the admin I get this:

Any ideas? I just think this doesn't work with Zen-Cart anymore because we've used it plenty in the past with no problems.

I've gotten this issue working but it appears Image Handler doesn't work well with Ultimate SEO URLs anymore? That seems to be the problem... though we've used them together before with no problems...

Well, wrong again. I've got it working with Ultimate SEO URLs. It's now in a state where I have:

Zen-Cart 1.3.7 installed
Image Handler 2 installed
Ultimate SEO URLs 2.105 installed

Individual product pages work fine under any conditions until I install Image Handler. At that point a blank page is served up. No errors, no source code.

Can someone confirm that Image Handler is working with the most recent version of Zen-Cart? We've never had these issues before.

I just discovered the issue:

Admin > Configuration > Product Info > Previous Next - Navigation Bar Position

This needs to be set to 0 (off). Otherwise Image Handler displays a blank page. Anyone know why?

Quick question. Can I change the size of my medium pictures or can I change the roll over image to be my large image? Either one would work for me ... but I can't figure out how to do it.

Setting up a new site and have a couple of questions...

1. I want to keep all my filenames lowercase for sake of uniformity. are there any problems I might encounter with this choice?

2. I noticed if I have a large file (say 100kb), even after IH2 resizes it for me into the bmz_cache folder, the 100kb file will still exist in the original directory. Is it therefore recommended that I first resize the 100kb file smaller into say my desired resolution of 400x400, then upload to ZC and let IH2 do the resizing?

**Hi evrbd,

Firstly I would like to say that this forum is really helpfull.

I my second Zen shop IM2 works OK, but in my first I got a problem.

In preview in HM2 configuration menu I recieve following message:**

Warning: imagepng() [function.imagepng]: gd-png: fatal libpng error: zlib error in /includes/classes/bmz_image_handler.class.php on line 646

And all images are not showing. When I try to and picture to product I get following message:

Unable to upload default image file.

Please - help :)) (nothing extraordinary):smile:

No that will be fine.

My advice is to resize your images to the maximum size that you want displayed. So if 400x400 is the maximum size you want on your site, then resize all your images to that size and upload them. Image Handler will then automatically create small & medium sized versions from this according to the sizes you have specified in zen cart.

I've got a feeling I have just confirmed what you were going to do anyway.

scenic, did you see this on the documentation?

Requirements

In order to resize and modify images, Image Handler 2 needs either GD libraries (since version 2) or ImageMagick (since version 6) installed. You can check if your version of PHP includes the GD libraries by going to Admin → Tools → Server Info and searching for GD. You have to ask your host (or read your site’s documentation), to learn about an ImageMagick installation. If you want to render GIF images, you need to have GD libraries version 2.0.28 or newer installed.

Craig, yes , indeed that is what I am going to do. thanks for confirming I am on the right track! :)

I just recently updated my cart from 1.3.6 to 1.3.7. Image handler is installed and working. Except that the extra pics that are supposed to show up at the bottom of the page are not showing up. They are shown in the IH admin, but not on the product pages. Any thing I'm missing that I need to do? Thanks! Amy

I think you probably need to upload the images again from IH

Are the extra product pics named right?
Main pic ---> myproductpic.jpg
Extra pic ---> myproductpic_01.jpg
Extra pic ---> myproductpic_02.jpg
and so on...

If you use IH to upload photos for a product, IH will auto rename each photo for that product based on the main product image name.
Main pic ---> myproductpic.jpg
Extra pic baby.jpg uploaded by IH will be renamed myproductpic_01.jpg
Extra pic rabbit.jpg uploaded by IH will be renamed myproductpic_02.jpg
and so on...

You do not have to use IH to upload product photos as long you name the images correct.

HTH,
Mark

Hi,

Sorry in advance if I've missed a posting that already answers this question. I'm struggling with the search function!

I've just installed IH2 and everything seems to have worked (new tools in Admin, successful DB installation etc), but the hover function isn't working. Bugzilla tells me that the "showtrail" and "notrail" classes are not defined.

They are defined in the www/includes/classes/bmz_image_handler.class.php. I'm pretty sure that the file is in the right spot. Is there something else I need to do so the system finds the definition of these classes?

Thanks in advance for your help.

You double check to see that you uploaded all the files to the correct folders?
What about jscript_imagehover.js ? Is it in the correct folder for your template?

Thanks Kai920
