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

possum:

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.

My hover function wasn't working and I found my small image was allready set to a larger setting than the medium image would be. and instead of hover producing a smaller image it just does nothing. You might check Configuration>Images>Product Listing Height & Width- I moved mine back to 100 & 80 and the the hover now works

Hi,

I've searched and searched but I cant find an answer to my question (applogies if it is already here).

I was wondering if it was possible to change the mouse over to display the large image instead of the medium. The reason for this is when I change the size of the medium image it is affecting the look of the product detail page.

Do you know if this can be done? What an addon by the way!!

Hi,

Second post...

I have just noticed that there issnt any text displaying when I hover over. The image displays ok but without the text...

Any ideas?

hello

i have successfully managed to install Image handler 2. But im having problems with uploading multiple images, i have added a new product and uploaded the corresponding images to the product but it doesnt show on the website.

can you please advise where i have gone wrong?

many thanks

Change the your setting for medium size to match the large size.

Another way is to play around with putting the image you want displayed on the product detail page in the medium folder. This will override IH.

Admin --> Configuration --> Images --> what is the value for "Product Info - Number of Additional Images per Row"? Default is 3.

M

yea...its set at the default number 3. But ive only got the 3 images to load up for that product. Should this be a different number instead??

Thanks for the help!

Both the hover image and no text are fixed. I had to change the CSS file as both my font and background were white... doh!

Has anybody tried to add more information to the hover? Like displaying the price? :cool:

Many thanks

This just tells Zen-Cart all many images to display per roll.

A link to your site?

I installed IH2 and it seems to work according to plan, except when I click on a product to view the detail, the included image does not get the watermark like the samll image and it's hover did.
Then when I click on the Large Image it pops up the large image, but also without the watermark.

Can anyone shed some light on this for me?
I have gone over the settings and told it to watermark all the images but it's not working for some reason.

The strange part is that in the IH2 admin preview it shows the watermark on the large image as well as the medium image for all formats. :frusty:

Hi there, I've read 100 or so pages of this thread and can't seem to fine the answer I need - I need help if someone can!

I'm trying to get the addtional images to load into the pop up on the product page (and be resized, so their source is the from the BMZ cache and not the original file).

This works on the image handler page in admin, where I have uploaded my additional images, yet on the product page it's still referring to the original file in the pop up (the main product picture works fine).

Can anyone help, please?!?

I'm surprised at the lack of response in this forum. This is supposed to be the IH 2 support forum yet I haven't seen a response to my question in a couple of days now. That is very unusual for the Zen-Cart support because there usually is response within hours, not days.

Still waiting.

Looking at the time stamp of your post it has only been 13 hours not 2 days.
Another thing is all the support given here is by end users like you and me.
The creator of IH no longer supports IH and has not for some time now.
We end users take time from our busy day to try to help.

Have you check to make sure the watermark file is in the right folder and is named right for IH?

In order for watermarking to work for every image dimension the specific corresponding watermark images have to be present. That means, you have to upload files to the following specific locations:
--->images/watermark.png
--->images/medium/watermark_MED.png (or your specified MEDIUM_IMAGE_SUFFIX)
--->images/large/watermark_LRG.png (or your specified LARGE_IMAGE_SUFFIX)

If you done the above have you tried using a different file format?

You can try this.
Zen-Cart Admin --> Tools --> Image Handler 2 --> Admin --> click "Clear Image Cache". You can check to see if this fixes the problem.
If not repeat the above steps and the click on "Remove Image Handler Form database".
The page will reload and now you click on "Install Image Handler".
The 2 steps does not remove any images.

If this does not help please post a link.

This is from the IH2 Authors Docs page and may have the answer(s) you are looking for.

Watermarking

In order for watermarking to work for every image dimension the specific corresponding watermark images have to be present. That means, you have to upload files to the following specific locations:

*
  images/watermark.png
*
  images/medium/watermark_MED.png (or your specified MEDIUM_IMAGE_SUFFIX)
*
  images/large/watermark_LRG.png (or your specified LARGE_IMAGE_SUFFIX)

I included some demo watermark images for small, medium and large sized images featuring a slightly modified Zen-Cart logo for a quick start. Nothing more to do, switch on, switch off, just as you like. Image Handler takes care of generating images accordingly. You can specify where you want the watermark to appear on the image canvas by selecting NorthWest, North, NorthEast, West, Center, East, SoutWest, South and SouthEast for the Wartermark Gravity setting.
Zooming (fancy hover effect)

When selecting this feature for small images, the medium image pops up whenever you move your mouse cursor over the small image. Those images are branded with an overlay just like a watermark to indicate the pop up ability. You can upload a file to images/zoom.png to have it overlay your image. A small image is included for quick start. If you don’t want the overlay to show but still want the effect, just delete the overlay image.

You can select the gravity just like you can with the watermark to configure where the overlay should go. In addition to that you can specify if you want the overlay to act as a hotzone. That means the popup only shows if you move your mouse exactly above the overlay image (hotzone). If it does not, the whole image is the hotzone.

Note: Zooming in on medium images is not implemented, yet.

My bad, the original post was yesterday and then again today, sorry.

I have the watermark files where they are supposed to be, just checked.
since the watermark files are in PNG format, do I have to select that format or the format of the files my originals are in which is JPG?

Thanks

Rob,

I am not going to flame you - it is not allowed here; however, you should take the advice given you - read the exceptionally good write up that you were asked to read... it includes an answer to every single one of your questions - and I will quote one here:

"Preferred Filetypes

You can select either .png, .jpg, .gif or no_change for every image size type. Uploaded images are kept as they are, but the generated files feature the filetype you specify here. GIF is ok for small thumbnails and features some basic transparency. JPG doesn’t feature transparency but a very good file quality/compression ratio, especially for photographic images. This would be your desired filetype for large and possibly medium sized images. PNG files feature alpha transparency and as much colors as jpg but are generally larger in filesize than both jpg and gif. Internet explorer still has issues displaying alpha transparency, so you better stick with gif, if you need transparency. "

I hope you do not think of me as harsh... even if I am :smile:

Respectfully,
jund

Well, what can I tell you. I have read the info included with the program and had originally setup the program as you suggest. It's not working! Any other suggestions?
