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

Hi,
I've just installed IH2 and when I got into admin->configuration->images there are no need options available just the original ones.

When I was installing it I followed the install instructs but when i went to admin->tools->image handler2 then clicked admin i wasn't given an option to install image handler, the only options available were

remove image handler from database
clear image cache
scan for old IH0.x and 1.x original images

I assumed that meant it had installed, but still no config options.
Can anyone give me some advise about what i did wrong?

Thanks

Do you scroll all the down on admin->configuration->images page?
IH options are at the very bottom.

Have you check to be sure you uploaded "all" the files needed for IH and in the right folders?

Still nothing then click the link for "remove image handler from database".
You should get a delete button, use it.
(Note: you are not deleting any files by doing this.)
The page should refresh and at the top of the page you see this "Image Handler successfully removed".
You should now have the link "Install Image Handler", use it.

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

I would suggest that you re-install the files and make SURE that you overwrite all the files and start fresh. I had similar problems and re-installing worked for me.

Hope this helps... good luck

Thanks tophand,

I followed your instructions to remove and reinstal and it worked straight away.

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

As much as I hate to say this but, I have messed up IH2. Right now here's how it is working:

  1. zoom only works for the whole image.
  2. When I turn hotspot on or off it will either work on the full image or not at all

I have tried un-installing and re-installing. Hmm haven't tried the cache. Guess I will try that one next.

Ok... tried that and that's not the problem

Also, if anyone would like to look at my CSS please do. I don't know how long the images have not been functioning because I was working on the CSS so much.

Will gladly grovel for help (it used to but I killed it somehow) :frusty:

Oh.. and it doesn't work at all on IE now (sigh)

Any help greatly appreciated!

BTW: I just got through working out a solution for the peekaboo bug... maybe this had something to do with it???

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

Got it working now... funny, I followed my own advice. I completly re-installed the core files and made sure that everything was overwritten. Once I did that, everything worked out perfectly. I now have IH2 working in both FF and IE.

Sorry for the false alarm... I was freakin' (smile)

I can't help but wonder what I did to make IH2 stop working again??? Oh well, it's good to have it working.

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

I'm having an issue where IH is breaking my cart only on one category. I have categories set up like this:
Photographs-> (206)
|_ Floral (77)
|_ Nature (17)
|_ Scenic (43)
|_ Human Interest (37)
|_ Architectural (12)
|_ Fall/Thanksgiving (15)
|_ Winter/Christmas (5)

When IH is installed, the Human Interest category doesn't work. When it is 'deleted from the database' as per the admin panel, the category works fine.

by 'doesn't work' I mean the category won't display products or anything below.

here is the code when it is working (IH is not installed): (I removed header stuff)

<body id="indexBody">

<div id="mainWrapper">

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

joshlfisher:

When IH is installed, the Human Interest category doesn't work. When it is 'deleted from the database' as per the admin panel, the category works fine.

by 'doesn't work' I mean the category won't display products or anything below.As the problem is confined to a single category, this sounds like the excessively sized images problem. What is the filesize of the largest image in that section?

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

1935x2903
483dpi 24bit JPEG
3.33 Megabytes

I'll go ahead and resize the pics manually, and see if that helps.
What is a good max size for uploading?

What is a good max size for uploading?This would certainly fit into the excessive category. I take a close look at anything over 100k (about 200k would be an absolute limit), to see whether there's a reason (e.g. complexity of image, wide spread of natural colors) to warrant it being that large. Most of the images that I upload with Image Handler (to be used as a basis for the largest images) would be in the 30-90k range and no larger than 750 x 550 pixels. There's just no point to uploading huge images with more data than can actually be used on a visitor's monitor.

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

I limit almost all of my images to 72 dpi and a max of 450 or 500 px in either direction. Most of my 500 px Tall images fill the browser screen anyway.

IH2 does a decent job of reducing the images for quick loads.

I changed all photos in the category to 72dpi 5x7inches. It works! Thanks all!

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

Hi everyone,

I'm having an issue with IH2 and some changes I have made. I put a shadowbox around all my pictures. Before this, the hover image would only show up if you placed it over the + sign. Now it does it anywhere you hover on the image. I put my old files back and everything worked fine. Any ideas? Think I need to re-install IH2?

Thanks for the help.

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

Hi,
Please can someone explain to me how I can use IH2 to mass upload images and additional images (if this is possible).

I could easily FTP the images but the problem is with the additional images, my supplier uses different filenames for additional images (example: ImageA.jpg for main image and ImageB.jpg for additional image). It is my understanding that for IH to recognise it as an additional image it has to be ImageA_01.jpg?

If I could upload all images with IH2, would it automatically rename the additional images (ImageA_01.jpg etc...) and if so how would I go about doing that?

Any help to clear this up would be much appreciated

Thanks

No it won't automatically perform the re-naming for you. In fact, unless they are correctly named, neither Zen Cart nor Image Handler will even recognize them as additional images for productA.

A slight refinement on the naming needed. The additional images simply need to start productA, i.e. have the same stem as the product image. You can put anything afterwards. The "_01" etc. usually suggested is merely good practise.

However, in summary, you will need to re-name the files before you upload them.

Thanks for clearing that up for me kuroi.

Can IH2 only add images 1 at a time or can images be mass uploaded?

IH "Does" auto rename additional images based on the product main image when using the IH Admin!
Admin-->Tools--> Image Handler 2--> Manager
Select product from drop box
Select product you want to add image(s) too.
Using the "Default Image File" box, browse to the image(s) you want add, select and save. IH will auto rename the files to the correct naming format.
So if the product main image is named RedShoe.jpg and your adding additional images called sideview.jpg, rearview.jpg IH will rename these images RedShoe_01.jpg, RedShoe_02.jpg
