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

[kiddo]

Rather than scale images, is there anyway to do a true resize?

ie take any image, scale it and then pad it with whitespace to fill the entire dimensions as entered in admin.

If not, has anyone done this mod?

IH2 does a re-sample, re-size and re-compress. It's slick.
Caches the resulting image too.

You can control padding and padding color from the IH admin (images)

Hi guys,
This is my first post to the forums, have spent many a time reading the pages over the last few months. My question is, when I make a new product and input prices, manufacturers, etc. Where do I go to upload the "1" large image that will be used to scale down for small , medium ,large display of my image. I'm a bit lost to say the leaast. I can go into image handler and all that. But what are the steps I need to do so that I can add the item, then the one image?
Any help, greatly appreciated.

You do not add the item, IH2 reads database and sees it, just select it and display it.
Then use the Default option, and click Browse, go to wherever your image is and save it.
All this is done in IH2 Manager.
Read the Scalability section in the IH2 rev 7 readme, you can choose location to save and organize your website's structure.

How do I set the padding? I can see where the color can be set.

[kiddo]

You can force a specific width or height by putting a "!" after the value of pixels. If the image can not be fit to the height and/or width dimensions you specify without changing the images aspect ratio, it will be padded out to that number.

There is a color setting in there as well but I don't have a admin page handy to look at. If you are still unsure after some time, post again and I will look. (or some one else may jump in and say.)

That's amazing!! Exactly what I was looking for! Thanks so much!

Theres nothing in the BMZ cache folder but a ".keep" file.

I also have a question. I already had my images uploaded before installing IH, so does that mean I have to reupload everything manually from IH? or will IH work it out from I already have uploaded?

[kiddo]

IH2 will (should) find your images in most cases.

So if I have some images already uploaded in my medium and large folders, should I delete them and let IH generate 'em?

Thanks for the fast reply.....btw, whoever can help please go back one page in this thread for my other post where I get some errors...gotta fix that too.
