Image Handler 3 Support Thread (for ZC v1.3.9)

[jjj0923]

ok - need some help before I make a mistake. I uploaded the code as per the instrcutions

so - then I went to the tools and selected Image Handler2 from the menu and I clicked Install

I then went to Configuration/Images and updated a few settings regarding watermarks,

so - then I went to Tools/IM/Manager and see the list of my categories and selected a category with just two products.

The first of the two products is displayed by default and it shows the default medium and large all set at 600 x 450.

I thought this product would resize images for me and apply watermarks?

how is this done.

the readme.html file goes noticably silent and ends before it explains how to actually resize images. ??? I'm siting here with three images on the screen all showing the same size and not a single line of documentation explaing what I need to do now.

I was told this add-on would resize my images but right now I'm at a loss as to how to use it.

can I get some help here?

thanks!

Well to start with you might want to make sure you installed the correct version of the software.. this is the "Image Handler 3 Support Thread". You stated you installed Image handler 2, and you stated that the readme doesn't explain how to use this mod.. All of which tells me you have the WRONG/OLD version of IH installed.. Suggest you uninstall, and download and install the correct version first. Read the reame that comes with it.. It DOES indeed eplain how to setup and configure Image Handler..

this problem has been fixed but many images have simply stopped appearing altogether.

do I have to go through each product and have their images redisplayed or something?

it's very weird.

I pick a product and sometimes their images display (on the manager screen) and sometimes they don;t display - no errors are being thrown.

for instance - I just clicked 'display' of one of my products on the Manager screen and only the medium image displayed - nothing displayed in the default or large then when I click back to display the first of two products all three images display and then when clicking back to the second product - all three images display this time.

if this a caching situation?

show us what you set the images settings to please

how about the actual store --- is it behaving there?

did you install the right IH add-on? IH3 should be the one.

manually go through and make sure you have installed the right files to the right places

link to the store product page is nice too especially if it is not working store end too

[jjj0923]

the store is behaving weird also.
I have zen lightbox installed also

here's a link : http://www.bravoshop.net/index.php?m...ex&cPath=66_76

sometime all the images appear, sometimes not.

are the small, medium and large images created on an "as needed" basis and then cached?

since there's not 'batch' creation of the new images in multiple sizes how exactly does this add-on create the three different sized images in preparation for display.

ps: are the watermarks added on the fly or are new images created with the watermarks permanently affixed?

nope ih2 is what downloaded for 1.39

I just took a look - I see IH3 is listed below the 1.39 version I downloaded.

hmmmm...

perhaps I'll simply restore the site and the db and start over from scratch. I backup up everything first.

You apparently missed my previous post telling you the SAME thing..

After you get the right version installed, and configured properly, it'll help folks help you better if you go to page one of this support thread and read through the first three posts.. (ALL of this same information is also in the IMAGE HANDLER 3 readme)
