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

Just wondering if anyone else has any idea how to remove the product name text at the top of the image rollovers...

i know its a ridiculous request. and i still have no idea why my client refuses to have them.

but if anyone knows...

i'm sure its hidden in the javascript, but all i can seem to do is break it.

anyway, thanks in advance...

Image Upload Problems:

Having problems with IH on the following setup:

ZC 1.3.7
PHP Version: 4.3.10
MySQL 3.23.56
Apache/1.3.29 (Unix)

The owner says that he's following the same procedure for adding pics as he's done before with no problems, but now gets:

Warning: move_uploaded_file(): Unable to move '/tmp/phpYTAJLU' to '/home/saltire001/public_html/images/jersey101x120.JPG' in /home/saltire001/public_html/6378bs-wid83b-2jxb/includes/classes/upload.php on line 112

when trying to upload a product image. Permissions on the images folder have been changed to 777 to see if that helped, but to no avail.

We're also getting errors on the front end http://www.saltirecycles.co.uk/, for example:

Warning: imagejpeg(): Unable to open '/home/saltire001/public_html/bmz_cache/c/c4c20471f06189e1feea4b35e9e2a645.image.150x112.jpg' for writing in /home/saltire001/public_html/includes/classes/bmz_image_handler.class.php on line 652

A look in the bmz-cache folder finds that some of the sub-folders, like /c/ in the above example, do not exist. They had cleared the image cache in IH2 Admin to see if that would help - would that remove these sub-folders?

Any help on these issues is appreciated.

Thanks,

Andrew

Remember that a lot of things can be controlled in the style sheet.
In this case look at style_imagehover.css
While you can't remove the text, you can hide it.
Can change the font color to match the back ground or what I did was change the font size.

font-size: 100%;

to

font-size: 0%;

There are really large image files. One thumbnail image = 500kb.
Some of the pop-ups open bigger then my screen.
Have you check to see if there is server space left?

Hello,

I wonder if it's possible to modify Image Handler 2 so that it is able to add another watermark which reads "new" for example in the upper left corner.

This alone shouldn't be that difficult, but is there a way to do this only if the product is not older than let's say two weeks? Does Image Handler receive any product reference that could be used to fetch the corresponding products_date_added value from the database?

Or is there already an Add-On which does that?

Thanks for your time!

This has to do with your server. You need to talk to your host.
FYI, you can use "Search This Thread" and search for SAFE MODE.

I have a problem that i have read about, and have extensively tried solutions that have worked for other people - but have been no help to me. The site is going through a pretty intense re-design, so forgive any super ugly pages you might come across as well as some css files that have been dynamically dropped in multiple head tags on some pages - i am fully aware.

I am rather familiar with the heiarchy of zencart and have spent days..countless hours... comparing files and trying to hunt this down on my own.

Essentially what i am having is a painful watermarking problem. My mouseover popup image watermarks correctly. When you view the product page, the product image (that you click on to get the popup window) is encoded correctly and is being (partially) processed by IH2 - i can tell this because of the filename of the image. However, it is not watermarking on that partially processed image, and the popup image that you get when you click on the product image has my original filename to it. So it is obviously not getting processed whatsoever. The small image on product listing page does work, but is turned off as the site is live and i do not want the watermark there. Also, on the popup image, there is like 200px or so of white space rendered under the product image on some browsers, and this is a bit off-par with the norm as well.

I have tried:

• switching to the classic green layout to see if there was a coding problem in my template files
• clearing image cache (both manually and through the IH2 admin menu)
• deleting and re-installing IH2 from the database
• deleting and re-installing all IH2 filesThe site in question is: http://www.qcookies.com

and you can find a PDF of my image settings here: http://www.qcookies.com/image_settings.pdf

Thanks in advance, and i sincerely look forward to your feedback.

For the 200px white space, maybe look at your style_imagehover_OLD.css .
It seems this is the file being used or it can be in one of the 3 styles sheets being loaded.
I didn't see any white space using FF and I have not check using IE.

Watermark:
Have you check to see that your watermark file is good and in the correct folders?
watermark.png -->image folder
watermark_MED.png -->image/medium folder
watermark_LRG.png -->image/large folder

How are you uploading the images for your product?

@mrmeech

A lot of people try to keep a backup of old stylesheets by renaming them in this way. But Zen Cart looks at all file ending .css in that folder and considers using them, as it appears to be doing for you.

Personally I recommend removing backups from your site completely (and keeping them off-line) - they just complicate your live environment. But if you really want to keep it close by, rename the extension rather than the base e.g. style_imagehover.css_OLD so that it's ignored as a CSS file.

Tophand,

My watermark is in good working order and they are all in their correct folders, respectively.

For new products I upload the images through the product's management page.

Kuroi,

I tried changing the filename as you suggested so that it would be ignored as a CSS file. Unfortunately i am left with the same problem.

Now, if this helps at all, in a previous version of the site i had the lightbox mod installed, but uninstalled it as it did not work with additional images. (As you'll notice there is only one image per product, which will be changing within the next week, assuming i can get this watermarking fixed.) I was comparing files to try to figure out if there was anything messed up from that previous mod, but could not find a thing.

Any other suggestions? I'm so much at a loss right now. In fact, anyone who figures this out, i'll have the store send you a basket or tin of cookies for free!!! Seriously. I will.

I'm sorry if this was posted already but there's so many pages to scroll and find. When I installed image handler it worked perfectly, until i installed lightbox. The images stopped displaying when I hovered over the image. So, I restored my original setting but that didn't work. can somebody help me?
Thanks

Perhaps you could try making a list of the files in the Lightbox mod and then replace any files that were overwritten with original files from fresh zen cart folder?

I once had Lightbox installed and i am almost convinced that it caused my site to have the problems i'm having with IH2 now. In fact, my cry for help is just above yours, literally.

Installed Image Handler 2 to my 1.3.7 Zen Cart. Images seem to show up fine in my https://www.kaylala.com catalog but not in my http://www.kaylala.com catalog. As you may have guessed I have a split file system because of my host... home/secure_html and home/public_html.

Any thoughts?

Also I don't see the fancy hover effect.

thanks,
Graham

update... I copied all the images that were created in my secure_html/bmz_cache folder to my public_html/bmz_cache folder, which seems to work with some quirks in the meantime (it's a live site... I know, I know).

I also added to call out for the jscript and css file to my html header, so the zoom works now.

But I still need a better fix for my split folder system. Any thoughts?

update again... I've uninstalled Image Handler 2 for the time being... but if anyone has any advice on fixing my problem, please let me know. thanks!

Easy fix and only fix I know, move to host where you don't have to use file splitting.
With Zen-Cart you don't need a split file system for Zen-Cart to run in secure mode. It is smart enough to know when to switch to secure mode.

So you check to see that your watermark files are not corrupt, are named right and in the correct folders?

What version of IH?

And you still not answered my question on how you are uploading your images.

Near the top of this page is the link "Search this Thread".
Helps from reading all the pages.

You might want to search this thread (Zen Lightbox) for "Image Handler"
http://forum.zen-cart.com/showthread.php?t=45314

If your wanting just IH, check to see that all the correct files are in place.
