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

tophand:

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%;

Thanks for the fix Mark. I wanted to remove the text as well and your fix worked just great!

there is a folder called "shopad" that came with the distribution - but i can not find any explanation for it....

Unless you need the Spanish Language version, I would use version 2.0 v0916.
It is has the date of Sep 16 2006.
This is the one I use just fine with my 1.3.7 Zen-Cart.
Hopefully the unknown person that uploaded the latest(?) version will chime in sometime soon.

Do does that mean you think there might be something funky in Version: 2.0_for_137?

Do I need to be concerned?

I don't think so. It looks to me as though the person who uploaded it was working on a site where for security reasons the admin area had been renamed to shopad, but then when this has been packaged up, both and admin and a shop_ad version sneaked into the distro and since most of the heavy loading for Image Handler takes place in the Admin, this has doubled the size of the package.

Shopad looks to me to be the original code and Admin the one into which the Spanish language has been added.

A very quick glance at the Sep 16th and Oct 21st versions suggests that the Oct version is built on the Sep version and apart from the Spanish language folder, also has some minor tweaks to the additional_images module to bring it into line with Zen Cart 1.3.7. So both have the javascript changes that tophand implemented.

My recommendation would be to use the latest version, but throw away the shopad folder. It doesn't look dangerous, just redundant.

Thanks.

You did not upload all the files for IH.
Your missing the jscript_imagehover.js file that should be in your templates/AB_TPL/jscript folder.
For your additional images your not using the correct naming scheme.
You have a product called "Charlotte City Clog".
So if the main product image is named CharlotteClog.jpg then all additional images for that product has to be named:
CharlotteClog_01.jpg
CharlotteClog_02.jpg
CharlotteClog_03.jpg
CharlotteClog_04.jpg
You have to use this naming scheme if your uploading using ftp.
If you use IH to upload images for a product, IH will auto rename the images correctly.

Thanks TOPHAND. It doesn't surprise me that I may have missed a file or folder. I will look at the download and find the java file you mentioned. As for the naming, I did see that IH does default to _01, and _02 etc. I'm fine with renaming my images, just didn't want to waste too much time on it at the moment because I hadn't resolved the initial problem.

Thanks again for your insight!

Well, I just installed IH2, following directions carefully, and get this when trying to access my admin:

Warning: require_once(/home/pcgoddes/public_html/zc/includes/functions/extra_functions/functions_bmz_io.php) [function.require-once]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /home/pcgoddes/public_html/zc/admin/includes/functions/extra_functions/functions_bmz_io.php on line 12

**The files are there and permissions are 777. What am I missing?

Thanks,

Have you opened the files that the errors reference to verify line 12? I had 2 files that had errors similar to this, and both times when I went to that specific line, I found some incorrect characters in the code that created the issue. Once I removed them, the errors disappeared.

Even if there isn't a bug, the content of that line may shed light on what is causing the error - such as a referenced file that is missing....just some ideas - they may be deadends for you. I also had some issues getting IH2 set up this weekend, but with a little forum help and a hell of a lot of thread reading, I got it all resolved today.

Glad to hear you made it to resolution! I tried the above, to no avail. I decided since I had not invested a ton of time into the care and feeding of my site, to blow it away. Reinstalled ZC to my root, then IH2, then my template. Now its all backed up as well. :cool:

Thanks so much for the assistance.

Hi,

I am having a big issue with image handler now

It used to work fine. But now after the upgrade whenever I add an image to a product the whole catgory disappears. I get a page not found error.

I down graded to old files and still it has same issue.

I uninstalled IMH2 and I can upload pictures and everything seems ok

Once i turn IMH2 on the categories disappear again.

My zen cart ver is 1.3.7
using latest image handler 2 from oct 21st, 07

Any help is appreciated

Thanks in advance.

Hi everyone,

I have been looking for days but don't seem to be able to find what I'm looking for. I would like to have a border around my small images but haven't found a way to do it. There is a setting in "images" that make it sound like you can create a border but I can't get it to work.

If anyone has any idea of how to pull this off, I would love to hear your ideas. BTW: I can't go back and change the original pics because there are over 1000 of them.

thanks

That would be best achieved in the stylesheet I believe.

Hi Crazy,

Ok.. the solution is in the stylesheet. What do I need to do? I don't know what to change in order to get that effect. Can you explain some more?

Thanks, I appreciate it!

Hi everyone,

I get the following errors when hovering my mouse over the "new products" sidebox image. This shows up in Firebug.

myHint is not defined
onmouseover(mouseover clientX=0, clientY=0)biz (line 1)

myHint is not defined
onmouseout(mouseout clientX=0, clientY=0)

It doesn't seem to have any negative behavior but I was just wondering is there a way to get the error message to go away?

thanks

Hi

Search through your your_template/css/stylesheet.css and find the image you want to put a border around. Using something like Firefox web developer add-on you can inspect the image and quickly determine the "id" or "class" of the element you are trying to style. Other wise you can trawl through the page source.

Assuming you wanted to put a border around the images on the product listing page then add this to the end of your stylesheet.

.productListing-data img{
border: 1px solid red;
}

You can then play around with border widths/colours etc until you reach your desired border.

That worked great! I should be able to do what I need now. The web developer for FF is a great tool and has allowed me to add the borders to whatever page I need.

One more thing... Is there a way that you can make the border look like a shadow? Like only having the border to show up on the top and right side?

Thanks a bunch

Yes, but as a shadow it is a poor rendition.

You can add borders individually:- border-right: ; border-bottom: ;

There is another way but it is more complicated, and there could be possible drawbacks in using it, not to mention the fact that this is not the correct thread to discuss it :wink:

Thanks for the info. I will start posting my questions on this issue in the CSS section. Thanks again for your help

Just a couple of ideas. Not sure if they will help.

Are all your small images the same size? If so, couldn't you make a "border image" (all transparent except the border) and use the watermark feature of IH to do that? (I assume you're using IH since you asked here).

I also wouldn't be surprised if you could find a freeware (or inexpensive shareware) utility which would batch modify your images.

I guess our post doesn't show urgency. However, it is an EMERGENCY. We have some products that don't even come up once you click on them. Example---->**Customize Lace Locs--->GiGi **(The URL is in the signature.)
Does anyone have a clue as to what the problem could be? It was working fine before but stopped worked.

The only change we have made is that the person responsible for uploading images found a shortcut. They started uploading only 1 image through IMH2 and then renamed all other images to the IMH2 naming pattern then uploaded them through the server via FTP. I do not know if there is a process that each and every picture has to go through by uploading every picture manually. This is the only change. We have not installed any new add ons (modules). We have not modified the stylesheet, etc.

PLEASE HELP! Thanks!
