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

[Rimo]

I am using IH and i am very happy with this addon

But i'd like to get some text like"more images"above my extra images.

Where and how can I do this?

Thanks

Hi Richard. That's not an IH2 question because it relates to making customizations to Zen Cart rather than to IH2.

I know the question has been discussed several times around the forum. No doubt if you do a forum wide search for something like "text above additional images", you'll find plenty of threads where the answer has been given.

Good luck

I have uploaded all my images for new site. Image names show under Image Handler and Product menus, but the image itself does not. If I manually reenter image name and location, images then show up on product page. I really don't want to have to do this for 4000 images. Is there an easier way?

and to be clear.. don't make us fish around your site.. Post links to specific products where the issue exists..

Also some insight as to how you loaded the images and associated them with your products would also help..

I looked at your site and actually IH2 is not working as it should at all..

The ONLY thing working is the on-hover image effect (and it's not working as expected on all of your small images), but IH2 is not doing it's job at all.

Again, IH2 will take the largest product image (which you should have uploaded to your "images" directory) and from this file it generates optimized small, medium and large images and put them into the IH2 bmz_cache folders.. This is not happening for your site at all..





And this would not work.. Part of the issue is the way you have your images structured and NAMED... You DO NOT use a suffix in the image name. If you do IH2 will ignore the images and default Zen Cart image management will apply.

Your file: "images/pandora_exclusive/bloem_LRG.jpg" SHOULD HAVE been named "images/pandora_exclusive/bloem.jpg" (Please note there is NO suffix in the image name)


It's actually not working at all. NONE of your images are being optimized and generated in the bmz_cache folders as they should if IH2 was doing what it's designed to do. You DO NOT NEED images in the "images/medium" or "images/large" folders. You simply create your product, add a product image (the LARGEST image) and then let IH2 do the rest. All of the optimized images (small, medium, and large) will be generated and placed into the bmz_cache folder.





It does work EXACTLY like this if IH2 is configured correctly (settings correct, permissions set on the appropriate folders correctly, images uploaded to the correct locations (and named correctly), etc)





No you do not need to remove this.. This setting tells Zen Cart (not IH2) how to identify your medium and large images. If you use medium or large images using these suffixes, then IH2 will ignore ALL your images and Zen Cart's default image management features will identify them as the large or medium images.. If IH2 is configured correctly you do not need to use these suffixes in your image names at all..

I'm glad you are happy, but IH2 is not doing what it's designed to do at all, and based on what I can see in your store it has EVERYTHING to do with the way you have set up your images..

Hello again,

This explanation tells everything. excellent! thank you!

I did everthing as you described and have it working now with only 1 image the largest one.

Maybe you want to go check one more time for sure , but i think its ok now

Thank you very much,

You're welcome.. I get that while the readme has lots of information, there is still a bit of confusion about the use of the image suffixes and IH2..

I have been working on a new readme for the next IH2 release.. In the upcoming release all the FUNCTIONAL changes are courtesey of Nigel and Nagelkruid.. However, I want to re-write the readme and instructions again to cover some gaps I've identified as a result of SOME questions (like yours) posted here.. I'm also gonna ask the admins if we can start a FRESH support thread.. (I think it's overdue) This one has become a bit long in the tooth as they say, and I'd like to update the lead post to include some FAQs upfront to minimize some of the support thread overhead..

Now off to check your site and see how your homework assignment came along..

This is better, and you're part way there.. I hate to say it..

BUT...

Go back to the readme, and review the image settings section again.. Your medium and large images appear to be the same size.. This indicates to me one of two things..

Your ACTUAL original image is really smaller than your large image settings.

OR

Your large and medium image settings need to be corrected in the image settings.

If you make adjustments to the image settings you will need to delete EVERYTHING in the bmz_cache folders EXCEPT the .htaccess & .keep files.. (don't worry.. your original images as SAFE.. IH2 will recreate all the images in the cache with the new settings applied)

v1.3.9h Zen. Used Easy Populate to upload entire database to Zen. Image names that appeared in database appear in Zen under image name, but the image does not. Using file manager, I can see and open image in the images directory, and if I fill in the lines below product by product, it will work. The site is not published yet, so I can't send a link, but is hosted on a Hostmonster server. All other relevant product information does appear for each product. This is what I see basically under Zen admin, and as you can see, the image name is there. Do I need to remove the image extension? If I re-enter image name using last line below "select an existing image file from server, filename: " then the image does appear for that product. The only other problem I am having is the Product description field could be a little longer.


Products Image: Image Name: 2403.jpg Upload to directory:
Delete Image? NOTE: Removes Image from Product, Image is NOT removed from server: No Yes

Overwrite Existing Image on Server? No Yes

Or, select an existing image file from server, filename:

thanks for the tips...

Got image handler working ! Great Mod! Don't know how I missed this...but our server said they did not support it.....news to them!

Just to recount:

Zencart automatically loads in jscript files in the My_Template > jscript folder

Right?

My disable right-click jscript works just find in zencart...but not in the lightbox. Why doesn't it load in the lightbox?

js code is in above post....

my test site...very raw so don't expect to be impressed:
