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

Hi,

I installed this module recently. It works well but I would like to make some changes:

1. The zooming seems to work for images in sideboxes but not for images on product listing page and product info page. Why is that?
2. How do I zoom in bigger? At the moment the zoom is only slightly larger than the original.
3. Also, how to we insert multiple images for one product?

Please advise. Thanks in advance.

Hello,

Would anyone happen know what tables are modified (and how) when you install IH2? I've looked for this info and have not been successful in finding it.

I will skip the very long explanation of the troubleshooting steps i have already taken to resolve my problem, but i'm leading to believe that this is where my issue is.

Thanks!!

In order for the zoom to work properly, your Small Image Dimensions must match the Dimensions of the listing images ... you'll find these settings under Configuration :: Images of your Zen Cart Administration area.

: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?

Site is fwhsdesigns. If anyone can help or point to the correct thread I would be grateful.

The size of the hover image is dependent on the dimensions of your Product Info Image dimensions found under Configuration :: Images of your ZC Admin area.

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?

Make sure you've installed IH 2 by going to Tools :: Image Handler 2 and clicking install under the Admin tab. Then, make sure you have IH set to handle your images, this can be found under Configuration :: Images.

No tables are modified which is why you can install and un-install without disrupting the architecture of Zen. What problem are you having?

I have been unable to get IH2 to process both medium size and popup images. At one time, everything worked. Switching templates did not fix the problem (to see if my problem was in a file i had edited), uninstalled IH2 from the database and re-installed.... i've done a slew of troubleshooting steps.

So being fed up with not knowing why IH2 is not behaving properly, i did a fresh install of zen cart 1.3.7, went through the steps to install it into the file system, removed IH2 from the database via the admin area from the live store, then exported the database from phpmyadmin, replaced the generated DB with mine, logged in to admin, and re-installed IH2 into the DB via the admin tool.... I wound up with the same exact problem... So i was curious exactly what gets changed in the database so that i can compare the structure (when IH2 is "not installed") to that of an untouched copy generated by the installer.

Hi I just installed Zen-cart. Here's what I have installation info:
Zen Cart - v1.3.7.1-full-patched-07052007
Image Handler 2 for v1.3.x

I made changes to the bmz_image_handler.class.php as explained on page 100 of this post to get the additional images to display.

The problem I am having:
In Firefox and Safari, the product page view works fine but when I try viewing it in IE 7.0.5730.11, I get an error:
"Line: 99, Char: 11, Error: Invalid Character, etc"

Here's the link:
http://www.shopalponte.com/store/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=3_5&products_id=3

You'll see the error message when you try loading it in IE7.

Anyone else encountered this type of error before?

Any help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks!

Nevermind, I just disabled the "What's New" side box and the error disappeared.

I have installed image handler and it looks like its working correctly except in the admin panels it has the wrong header. It shows Ad Manager and that makes me a bit nervous

See attachment.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

You are not alone. I also have the similar problem. Mine says "Customers" instead of "Image Handler 2". Any idea how this happened?

What do you mean by process popup images? Not working at all?
On your medium images your getting no image at all?

Maybe you didn't upload all the files.
Have you checked?
bmz_images_handler.php is the defines file.

/admin/includes/languages/english/extra_definitions/bmz_image_handler.php
```Line 43 handles the heading title.

define('IH_HEADING_TITLE', 'Image Handler²');

A link would help for sure ...

Here's some things to look for to see if IH is working ... keep in mind that IH won't resize the images if it doesn't need to.

Right click your images and look at the properties ... if the image is being pulled from the bmz_cache folder IH is working properly.

If your referring to the medium image zoom, the full functionality of that was never finished by the developer and therefore won't zoom your medium images.

Small Images are used for areas such as your sideboxes, Medium Images are your Product Info Images, and the large images are what you get when clicking for larger images. Listing Images can be set independently, but keep in mind that if you want the Small Image Zoom to function your Listing Image Dimensions must match your Small Image Dimensions under Configuration :: Images. Also, the size of the image you get on mouseover is dependent upon the size of your Product Info Image (Medium Image).

The best and easiest way to work with Image Handler is to let it do the work for you. In otherwords, upload your highest quality image when adding or editing a product and IH will generate the images for use in your cart (small and medium). Now of course, if you want different images for your small and medium images you'll need to utilize the IH manager so you can distinguish unique images for a specific product.

If your looking for some other image effects look into the HoverBox mod in my signature. It's compatible with IH2. Just make sure that IH is installed and working properly first.

Hi;
I have just installed IH and need to know into what folder I should upload all the images. I created just one product, included the larges picture to be upload into image/large. When I check IH for this product I see all 3 sizes there, but when I view the web site, I only see the picture when I list All Products. When I select that one product that I have, there is no image and when I click on "Large Image" pop-up is also empty.
Thanks

Hello there...I can't seem to figure out which file to directly edit to achieve what I am trying to accomplish and what lines of the file need to be edited.

Basically what I am wanting to to achieve is make the image the right size so that when zoomed into the image does not go off the screen.

If any one can help me I would really appreciate it. Thanks!

There's no need to have to manually upload images for processing ... simply upload your highest or largest quality image when adding or editing a product. If you have a specific need such as unique images for each the small, medium, and large images the process is a bit different.

Can you provide a link to exactly what your talking about?

If you go to say
clevershoppers (dot) com/collectibles-343/ashton-drake-galleries-362/

You'll notice when you go over the red zoom button the image is so zoomed in that it is being cut off at the top or at the side or at the bottom...and I'm wanting to make the image smaller so it doesn't do that.

That's what I did, but what folder should I specify for the largest image to go to? Also why does not the image show on all pages?

:blink: Could you be more specific?
I uploaded 3 images a large, a medium and a small like what I read was suppose to due. Now I go into Configuration :: Images and there is no place to set the size, I thought this was done by the images I uploaded?

Admin--> Configuration-->images
Adjust the values for "Image- Product Listing".

Where did you read this?
This is not in the manual for Image handler as with IH you "only" need to upload 1 image (the largest size you want to use). IH will take care of the rest of the sizes needed.
Do you Image Handler installed?
