Image Handler 4 (for v1.5.x) Support Thread

[DivaVocals]

New version of IH4 coming out which FINALLY (Thanks/credit to balhir) gets rid of those ugly MD5 hash file names.. NO OTHER updates in this release.. but given that this has been asked for repeatedly over the years, I think this is a pretty BIG change.

See what the new image URL's will look like here: http://overthehillweb.com/shop/bmz_cache/z/zc4wp.png.image.550x432.png

The new file naming convention in this release breaks down like this:
Actual file name
Filetype
Dimension

This should encourage shop owners to create image file names which are MUCH more meaningful, and it means that shop owners will need to implement file naming structures which follow proper file naming standards. (i.e. no file names with spaces in them or file names with invalid characters)

Needs to be tested.. I have been using this for MONTHS with no issues.. However both I and my clients do not engage in poor file naming practices, and I've not tested this when the file names include spaces or invalid characters.

See: https://github.com/DivaVocals/zen_Image-Handler

GENTLE reminder.. Yep it pays to search the support threads since many questions are already addressed..

Dearest Diva, Goddess of everything Zen!

I first humbly apologize for being unable to find the answer to my question which you have probably already answered somewhere back in this thread. I promise I did scan through, but I have failed to find the answer.

Ok, now I fear I must ask. I came here wondering if IH4 works on ZC154, same as kabko above. And I was happy to see your link to github, which clearly answers our question. However, the github link contains numerous folders and files.

So I'd fear I have to ask a followup question: Is there a link to a zipped collection of IH4 installation files for ZC154 somewhere?

Btw, long time no talk! Hope all is well!

Not sure what you mean by "numerous folders and files" as everything in the repo is EXACTLY what would be in the package submitted to the downloads here.. There are no extras..

link to the zip file is on the lower right hand side.. The button labeled "download zip"...

Doh! I knew there was a simple answer! If it were a snake, it woulda bit me. Thank you! Sorry!

So sorry if this has been addressed, but I've searched and cannot find the answer. I've been trying to work my way through errors for 3 days now and have progressed to the point where I can't figure it out any more:

I have ZC 1.5.4
This was a new install.
I've installed the Tableau template. It came with the Image Handler 4 built into it.
I installed ZC from the automated script, and had to adjust a few settings to get the "all green" before installing.
Using PHP 5.2.17
MySQL 5.1.69
When I installed the Tableau template I got a few errors related to the install but managed to apply a few changes as per other threads and it installed.

My problem was that I wasn't getting images watermarking properly. After 2 days of diagnosing, I finally downloaded the latest Image Handler 4 and ran the script. I got the following errors:

Image Handler files all exist in correct positions in the directory structure.
Warning CORE FILE OVERWRITE : /hsphere/local/home/DIRECTORY/DIRECTORY/CATALOG/MYADMIN/includes/modules/category_product_listing.php was NOT overwritten.
Warning CORE FILE OVERWRITE : /hsphere/local/home/DIRECTORY/DIRECTORY/CATALOG/includes/modules/pages/popup_image/header_php.php was NOT overwritten.
Warning CORE FILE OVERWRITE : /hsphere/local/home/DIRECTORY/DIRECTORY/CATALOG/includes/modules/pages/popup_image_additional/header_php.php was NOT overwritten.

Warning TEMPLATE FILE CREATE : /hsphere/local/home/DIRECTORY/DIRECTORY/CATALOG/includes/modules/tableau/main_product_image.phpwas NOT created.
Warning TEMPLATE FILE CREATE : /hsphere/local/home/DIRECTORY/DIRECTORY/CATALOG/includes/templates/tableau/css/style_imagehover.csswas NOT created.
Warning TEMPLATE FILE CREATE : /hsphere/local/home/DIRECTORY/DIRECTORY/CATALOG/includes/templates/tableau/jscript/jscript_imagehover.jswas NOT created.
Warning TEMPLATE FILE CREATE : /hsphere/local/home/DIRECTORY/DIRECTORY/CATALOG/includes/templates/tableau/popup_image_additional/tpl_main_page.phpwas NOT created.
Error The auto-loader YOURADMIN/includes/auto_loaders/config.image_handler.php has not been deleted. For Image Handler to work you must delete this file manually.
Success Image Handler has been successfully installed 

So after thread searching, I did a file compare and overwrote the files manually, and replaced the other files that were not created into the proper directory and deleted the script.

Now, images are watermarking properly. Very nice. Just as I want.

But now this problem:

My product images are not displaying the pop ups. And additional images aren't displaying properly.

I did some file comparisons and cannot find where things are going wrong.

Here's a link to a product page:

http://sunshinelocksmith.com/key-cat...&products_id=1

Notice when you click on the main image it says "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later".

And when you click the 2nd image, the main image is blank.

I cleared out all caches and cannot trace where this might be giving me problems from. Nothing in the error logs to help either.

Not sure that this is aused by Image Handler.. Likely caused by whatever other image module you have installed or that came bundled with Tableau..

Personally I wish template authors would NOT bundle in things like lightboxes and Image Handler in with their templates.. they are GOTCHAS waiting to happen IMHO..

Okay, which file do you think it is that needs to be restored to original, then compared against Image Handler?

I couldn't say.. Suggest comparing them ALL.. and seeing where your code differs from what is in the Image Handler files.. BTW, IH4 currently available inthe downloads has NOT yet been updated/tested with v1.5.4 of Zen Cart..

[sunshinelock]

I had to delete the templates/tableau/templates/tpl_main_product_image.php to get the proper 1st image to pop up again.

Problem 2 is the 2nd image. I'll post when I find the solution to that.
