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

Phil020782:

Thanks for clearing that up for me kuroi.

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

You can always try it using what I outline in the above post.
I never have tried it as I only add 1 additional image 99% of the time to the product.
Let us know if it works for you.

After use IMH2 a long time, i have some question about this :

I see some folder very very big in my host :

Bmz cached
Cached

In my host, it is about 250 Mb! Very very big folder. If i delete them , is it possible?

Also, Do i need backup that folder when i backup my store?

KIMSON

Thanks you & best regards,

Admin-->Tools--> Image Handler 2-->Admin and click on the link "Clear Image Cache".
IH will recreate the files when needed.
I do this every 2 weeks or so and before I make backups.

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

MIt appears that I have given you a partial answer.

Tophand and I appear to use IH in completely different ways, so you have to put our experiences together to get the full and correct answer
:rotflmao:

Sounds like tophand always uploads images one at a time via the IH admin and it auto-renames the additional images as it knows to which product and product image they are related.

I always prepare my images locally, often using Photoshop batch actions on whole directories and then FTP the whole lot in one go, and have to rely on correct naming to allow Zen Cart and IH to make the connections. (My product details including the product_image are also uploaded in bulk by Easy Populate).

Apologies for any confusion.

:laugh:
I do it both ways depending what is needed at the time.
I alway prepare my images before hand and if I'm adding new products I FTP everything. But some times I'm only adding 1 product or updating a product I end up using IH to upload.

Do what I do, play around. Just be sure to backup first!

Thanks for the advice guys, you've answered my question. I'll rename the images locally and ftp them unless it's only a few then I can use IH admin.

Thanks

If I've done something that makes my small image zooms quit working, shouldn't re-installing Image Handler fix the problem? I overwrote all of Image Handler's files, but I'm still getting no zoom action on my images.

I'm getting the following two error messages from Firefox:

hidetrail is not defined
onmouseover(mouseover clientX=0, clientY=0)index.php (line 1)

showtrail is not defined
onmouseover(mouseover clientX=0, clientY=0)index.php (line 1)

Advice would be appreciated.

A link to your site would help.

But...
You did check to make sure you uploaded "All" the files needed for IH?
What about the jscript_imagehover.jsNeeds to be here, includes/templates/Your_Template/jscript/jscript_imagehover.js

Hi everyone
Does anyone know what happen to my IH2? The little + is in the small images but the mousehover zoom does not work.
Do you know what the problem could be?
Thanks

At this site www.aroma-gusto.co.uk the small mousehovers work ok.
It does take a while for the images to load as you have a lot images, video & flash going on.

Hmm I must have some configuration problem going on here?
I just installed Image Handler and when hoowering over image the zoomed image is displayed above header?

Should it not come as popup next to the thumpnail?

Presume it is simple config problem?
Any one can help me?

marksuRe-read the installation instructions and check that you have correctly re-named the folder4 names to reflect your template directory name. It's likely that some of the files have ended up in the wrong place and are therefore not operational.

Thanks for info.
I have been trying to do it as you sayd but not yet any luck.
I keep on trying.
At least I cant find anything to need merging.
also yes I have copied the template_custom folder to my own template.

Just if somebody gets more idea here is my page you can test the popup thing
http://fotonapakymppi.fi/kymppi_cart/index.php?main_page=index&cPath=1_3

I keep reinstalling as I have backup of files and database before the mod install.

marksu

marksu.. you do not have all correct stylesheets installed.
i.e.

includes/templates/nameofyourtemplate/css/style_imagehover.css

is missing
plus

includes/templates/nameofyourtemplate/jscript/jscript_imagehover.js

is in incorrect folder i.e. classic

edwinlloyd:

I have a working test version of my shop. When I install the latest version of IH2 (not the one from Tim's site) I cannot see additional images on the product page, but I can see them in the IH admin pages.

I have read this thread all day (literally) and followed every suggestion on how to get these additional images to show in the product page and none solve this problem.

I note that the product pages display with one error (using Firefox) for each additional image that should have been displayed. An example follows:

Error: missing ) after argument list
Source File: http://ed.homelinux.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&products_id=129
Line: 264, Column: 159
Source Code:
90cd509740b2.image.100x66.jpg" alt="Efergy Smart Meter" title=" Efergy Smart Meter " width="100" height="66" style="position:relative" onmouseover="showtrail('images//mod Efergy 3.jpg','Efergy Smart Meter',100,66,100,66,this,0,0,100,66);" onmouseout="hide

If it helps, the Firefox error console has a green arrow running underneath each error, which ends up pointing to the letter "i" of images following the showtrail command.

Having tried every other solution under the sun (and now moon) to solve this problem, I can only assume that this missing bracket might be the cause.

Do any wiser owls have any suggestions please?

Edwin,
Not sure if you got any reply yet (this thread seems to grow incred. fast!) - just cruisin your code I see a duplicate fwd slash from your images dir.

Thanks kuroi and misty.
It was installation problem, one file was missing.
You sure know where to look, lucky me.
Thanks for giving me the advice.

Here is examples on mod files for image handler and it paths
includes\templates\classic\css\style_imagehover.css
includes\templates\template_custom\css\style_imagehover.css -> was missing
includes\templates\template_default\css\style_imagehover.css

includes/templates/template_default/jscript/jscript_imagehover.js

Seems like jscript_imagehover.js was in right folder or at leas in folder as setup in Image Handler module.

File was missing cause Dreamveawer synchronize action did not find that missing file for some reason.

It works now :smile:

I upload only one large pic and in front page it looks small but picture size is same as large. I think it's not resizing. How can I show small pic with small size? any suggestion?

:frusty:Search the forum and read about 95% of it and cannot find my answer.

I want the image on mouse over to show atleast either the 450x450 image I uploaded or my 225x225 image to show a bigger image. How can I do this?
